Default From a G to a Z, staying in the VQ family :D

My name is Chris Buege. I am 21, a programming student at UAT and a Marine Corps Veteran.

So about a month ago I got rear ended at a stoplight. The driver was going at least 70mph according to the first responder so my poor G35 was totaled. I was sad to see the G go but I took the opportunity to buy a beautiful 370z

I flew out from Vegas to New York to pick it up and drive back. The previous owner was a pretty awesome guy and a fellow enthusiast so it turned out to be a pretty awesome trip. Here are a few pics, I will post more tomorrow since I just washed, waxed and painstakingly detailed her to satisfy my Vehicular OCD XD

(For the record, it's not a Nismo)

It was a tough call between the G37 and the 370z, I just love the looks and simplicity of the z. That, and people don't try to guilt me into DDing for them XD

Those types of things give you a new perspective on life. Glad you're ok and you got into a Z. Lots of sports car for the money.

It had it's moments, a little too much rain on the first half though! The wipers were pretty shot so it made for an interesting adventure, haha. It was a great trip all things considered though.
