Howdy! (I don't really talk like that...haha)

I've dreamed for a long time of owning a Z, and I finally made it happen last September. My first and second cars were both Nissans, 91 Sentra E and 97 Sentra GXE, then I picked up a 12 Golf TDI in 2011 when I turned my 97 Sentra over to my son!! (...with 240k miles on it...damn good car.) I sold my Golf TDI back to VW near the end of August, because a friend of mine had decided to sell his Z, and I was gonna take the buyback on the Golf anyway. I knew how he drove and maintained it, so I knew it was in great shape. He let me drive it a lot and help maintain it when he was out of the country for work sometimes. It's soooper low miles, so when he told me his asking price, I went straight to the VW buyback schedule website. Bye bye Golf, hello dream car!

It's a 2009 touring in Monterey Blue. Since it had low miles, 38k at the time I got it, the paint was in great shape. After my first trip to visit my folks in the DFW area, I noticed the paint was getting pretty hammered, so I went in Nov to have it wrapped. It's got Avery Blue Diamond wrap, done by Wrap Dynamics in north Austin. The guy that did the work, David, has a 370 also and had wrapped his own a couple times, so I knew mine was in good hands! It still has low miles even though it's my daily, 43k, but now the wrap is taking the hits instead of the paint.

Glad to be here, finally! <3
