Long road to new car
 

I joined the military less than 10 years ago and had to sell the only new vehicle I ever owned. It was and 1999 f150 flare side but I got orders to japan and couldn't take it. I fell in love with my friends r33 gtst. I saw the unvailing of the 350z and the GTR concept at the Tokyo Auto Show. Next I went to Guam followed by Korea. I didn't want to buy a new car while overseas. Just clunkers while over there. I got back to the states in 2007 and knew I was going to the desert late 2008. So still no new car. So sitting in the desert for a year I researched the crap out of cars with two rules from the wife. No convertable and it must have a back seat. Well that knocked out the Z so I leaned toward the G. So in Dec 09 my wife and me went to Infiniti for a G w/ 6mt but they couldn't help me. It didn't fell like the sales man wanted to help me. I wasn't dressed up so maybe he made an assumption I couldn't afford one. So let down and driving to our new home in El Paso a white Z pulled into the same gas station that we were at. My wife looked at it and asked why I didn't want that one. I told her that the Z was my first choose but it didn't have back seats. Well now I've been driving a black cherry 6mt touring w/ sport and nav since mid Jan. I love and want to thank two people that helped change my wife's mind. The unwilling sales man and the driver of the white Z.

Hey, I've seen that car, do you park in the parking lot in front of building 2? between that and bldg 60?

Glad everything worked out!

I work in Bldg 2

Haha, I work in Bldg. 60, the big 2 story brick building adjacent to where you park, I see your car every day, was wondering who it belonged to, I must say that the color looks good, I thought it was black at first until I drove closer. You might have seen me around, Red with big a$$ exhaust tips.

So far Ive only seen a yellow one and the gray one that a civ parks near Bldg 500. When I went to pick it up, it was in the shade and both me and my wife walked right by it and asked our salesman where it was. He told us to turn around and we then noticed it wasn't black. I love the color I hope they only offer it for this year.

Its probably going to be a limited edition color like the chicane yellow was. So whens she going to get a new exhaust and some intakes?

Well Ive never had a car worth modding but now that I have one Im afaid to mess with it. Maybe after the new car feel is worn in a little.
