My Parents Surprised Me!

Mai-z · 12-24-2011, 10:48 AM

So I just graduated from the University of Minnesota, and I drive home (to houston, tx) from school for the holidays and this black beauty is sitting in the driveway. My jaw dropped and I screamed like a little girl.

2010 Base 6sp 5k Certified Pre-Owned Nissan

They had made me believe it was too expensive of a car, and they couldn't afford the insurance. Tricksters!

Greetings Forum!

ps. question is that stock tint or was it tinted?

Congrats!

That looks like aftermarket tint.

Merry Christmas!

Congrats!

Your first mod should be an upgrade to the Sport package 19" Rays and tires. I'll just happen to have a set available after Christmas with less then 2,500 miles on the wheels, tires, and TPMS in mint condition.

Shameless plug over.

Again, congratulations on graduation and the graduation present.

Merry Christmas!

nice sir!

first thing i can say is remove the stock cats. i think we can all agree that the stock cats really choke this car down. high flow cat or test pipe, coupled with a cat back will make that thing a whole lot meaner

You have some good parents! Congrats on graduation from College and the well deserved 370Z. Achievement equals Reward.

Congrats! Nice gift and perfect timing on your parents part.

Very nice! Are your parents looking to adopt? I am probably older then them, but let's not sweat the little details.

Jasonle · 12-24-2011, 12:45 PM

Wow nice! Best Christmas gift ever!

Trips · 12-24-2011, 12:51 PM

Congrats and Welcome!

Jesus, is this a common thing in Texas? I have a friend in college (in MN as well) who recently went back home to Texas where her parents had a brand new Mustang GT waiting for her. If you can't tell, I'm jealous

O&G · 12-24-2011, 02:39 PM

GRATZ, thats a great start to X-mas

Waiz · 12-24-2011, 03:31 PM

Good job graduating and congrats on the Z, you have very nice parents!

I'm lucky if I can get $5 from my mother so you are very fortunate

I am definitely jealous... My parents gave me NOTHING for christmas and I certainly didn't buy anything for myself either...
