Nissan 370Z Forum  

Purchased my new Z today

I first wanted a 300Z 20 years ago, which I could not afford at the time. Guess patience pays off eventually. I finally have my Z, a 2012 base model.

Congrats! Great choice!

I remember the 300zx when they came out, too. I couldn't afford it back then either (was just out of high school).

Auto. I have had my fun with standards over the years. I opted for the easy way this time around.

I was just out of college and had started my first real job. I bought an Eclipse instead--it was over $10K less. I had a good run with Mitsubishi, a total of 5 Eclipses in all (the best was the 97 turbo). The lady that bought my 2001 GT picked it up this evening. I was not sad at all to see it go, since my new Z had already taken the Eclipse's spot in my driveway.

Chapin. It is just outside of Columbia, about halfway between Columbia and Newberry.

The car looks great, welcome to the forum I felt the same way in 88' 89' about the 300s but didn't satisfy my want until last month when a sexy little roadster told me to take her home with me.

I know how much fun your having... ain't it great
