Pulled the trigger....

[Sneakygoat]

So for the longest time I had been looking for a decent used Z with the sport package, touring package (with Navi) and a manual. After awhile I learned that these are about as common as unicorns.

I finally found one with all the options I wanted and 745 miles on it at a dealership in Minneapolis (about 7 hours from me). I was actually flying into the city for a bachelor party so it worked out to let the salesman I was working with know that I would be in town, if I liked it I would put money down on it and drive back the following weekend to trade in my Altima on it.

Long story short, he pulls it out of storage to clean it up and have it on the lot for me that Friday, I can't get there till Saturday......someone walks in off the street and buys it that Friday. I swear I am one of those guys that if I didn't have bad luck I probably wouldn't have any at all.

While I was there and reeling from this devastating blow I noticed they had a couple of nice black Nismo's on the lot. I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of the Nismo while shopping online. I really wanted the more refined interior (leather, Navi etc) and I felt the Nismo wing (which some affectionately refer to as the park bench) was a little too aggressive for me.

But it's true what they say, once you see the Nismo in person it just sucks you in, almost like the dark side. They literally have 23 pre-owned Z's on the lot but I just kept getting drawn back to the Nismo.

Long story short I put money down on a 2013 Magnetic Black Nismo. It's loaded with the backup camera, illuminated kicks, and the bose package (which I could probably live without).

I'm heading back 4th of July weekend to pick her up. Here are a few pictures, they aren't the greatest as it was raining pretty hard when I took them.

I enjoy these forums immensely and looking forward to being part of the Z family.

Cheers!
