That is an awesome intro. Sounds to me like you did the right thing in every respect and probably did yourself good by getting the new Z.

 A custom made Strat that was built to pre-CBS standards, and a 1975 Les Paul, that just hangs on the wall (once I adapted to the Fender maple neck, the Gibson just feels strange now). I play the Tele pretty much exclusively now, and through a 1979 Mesa Boogie MK II A, converted to simul-class. John

Welcome to the forum Steve
 I know I don't know you but still very sorry for your loss. I know first hand how cancer takes it's toll on individuals and their families so it's great to see that you appear to be coping well. Enjoy your Nismo, and be sure to post of some pictures when she arrives. (we love pictures!) Quote:
 I was going to suggest this very same thing.

John
I have a 3-tone sunburst American Delux Fat Strat (Blue), Gretsch Tennesee Rose (Rosie), Godin LGX-A (Godina) 3-Voice, 1986 Alvarez Yarari, and my prize beauty - 1988 Grafiti Yellow Eric Clapton Signature Strat (I bought it on E-bay in 2002 and it still had the protective film on the pick guards!). All played thru a Fender Hot Rod Delux tube amp (it goes to eleven). Shaaawing!
The Nismo is in transit from Denver to Tucson as I type and should be here by the end of this week. I tried working with my local dealer and what a bunch knucking Futs! The 2010 Solid Red 370Z Nismo, Deb's favorite color, is #75. I'll be taking Monday off from work to pick her up at the Honda dealership...1/2 a block from where the idiots of the Nissan dealership are located!!!! I plan on driving it around for a couple of days before I drop 'er off to have the Pioneer AVIC Z110BT, rear camera and homelink mirror installed. I'll definately get some pics posted of the car and the customized audio. I decided to keep my Daytona Blue Roadster....I just love the rag top! Steve |

Thanks
My axes are like gems, beauties....everyone one of them. I haven't been too motivated lately since Deb's passing to pick them up...but I'll give it some time, I love playin' too much to let it go.
I plan to purchase a 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 sometime this year. I promised myself that I would take Deb's ashes back to Colorado for one last adventure on a motorcycle. See ya Steve |

She's All Mine Now!
Much to my surprize, when I visited the bank today they said that the check I deposited a week & 1/2 ago cleared today! I called the Auto Nation dealership and they received the car from Denver last night and were detailing the car. Two hours later I was driving out in a new Solid Red 2010 370Z Nismo #75!
What an incredible car. I thought my 2004 350Z Roadster was fast but the Nismo is so much more. Both cars are night & day appart. The roadster is like a cruiser and the Nismo is a sportscar for spirited serious fun. I've had many comments just today...it turns heads. I'm speechless...I love this car because it's everything I knew it was going to be and then some! I'm relieved that I paid it off from the proceeds of the insurance check so it's mine free & clear. What can I say? I love my Debe and I'd give all away if I could hear her say: "I love you Stephen" one more time. Rest in peace my darling and I''l be brave. Steve 2010 Solid Red #75 Nismo - Debe |

Congratulations on the purchase of your NISMO Z! As you may already know, the people here are great and you have a home here. I look forward to seeing pics of your red rocker!

Thanks Guys
I will get some pics of the car posted as soon as:
1. The sun comes out and it stops raining (Yes...unbelievable that it has been raining in TUCSON for 3 freakin' days!) 2. I can stop driving the Nismo long enough...other than tanking up, to snap some photos. I can't tell you how sexy looking this car looks in person. The Solid Red just sets it off perfectly. It looks and feels like a track car...PERIOD. I'll post some driving impressions soon. Thanks guys for the postings. I have no family here in Tucson so I've relied on my friends to help me thru this difficult time. On a side note: I re-activated my pharmacy License in my home state of Alabama a couple of weeks prior to Deb's passing. She knew that I'd need my family (my parents, 4 younger bros & their family's children) and wanted me to pursue my plan to relocate after her death. 3 weeks ago my company sold the pharmacy division to our competitor from...Decatur, Alabama! I was offered a position after the acquisition and signed the agreement. I'm not one that believes in coincidences. She watching over me & still working miracles for me. Steve |
