Newbie chiming in to say hello and quick intro

[Limeybastard]

Just joined this forum and wanted to say hello to all you guys and girls. I browsed this site and joined yesterday.

I purchased a nearly new magma red 2014 370Z Coupe with Sport pack and few other options on Wednesday. I was not actually in the market to buy a vehicle. I had taken my 2013 Mazdaspeed to my Mazda dealer that I am friendly with for some service, the sales person had someone lined up and gave me an excellent trade in towards the Z. The Z had actually just arrived and was not even detailed that very same day. Took her for test drive and my lazy bones loved the 7AT and drive comfort. Well with comfort, this is someone coming from a Speed 3 LOL, wife would not even be a passanger in the Mazda!

The mileage was 1550 on her and it was one mature owner 50 plus. Person who buys my Speed 3 will be fortunate as I had it since new and drove it like a pastor.

Welcome. I got an almost identical 370 about a month ago and love it. I can't compliment you highly enough on your taste!

Enjoy your Z!

Congrats and Welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome appreciate it. I have already booked her to get tints and also clear bra. I am driving like a little girl as to avoid stone chips prior to the clear bra being applied.

I am wondering how they would gain access to tint the rear hatch window, hopefully wont climb into my car to do that and ding the fenders?

Side note, the stock stereo is terrible reminds me of the 90s system FM actually sounds like AM quality, but the car as a whole is nice. The engineering behind this vehicle is pretty up there.

The bolded is the same reaction that I had and is my only disappointment with my Z. If the stock system bothers you enough that you want to upgrade, you might want to take a look through the Audio & Video page here. There seem to be a lot of potential pitfalls in upgrading.

Bigaudiofanat is the Z A/V guru, and it looks like he will be making a trip to Florida in the near future. Again, if you are interested in upgrading, take a look at the threads re: his California trips.

Thanks you so much for the link, the stereo does indeed bother me, however the car and handling and the noise it makes , makes more up for the lack lustre stereo. I am still happy, was merely nit picking. However, I would not mind upgrading of possible. I am also in FL.
