Famous last words

Enjoy the new Z

Thanks, I got it home, washed it yesterday. Wanted to drive today but thunderstorms left puddles all over. Looked at weather forecast and thunderstorms following hot weather every day for the coming week.

I am taking it out for a drive now. Can't wait that long!!

"grinning year to year"? I'm very expressed!

About Zs and water. I guess we're in the same boat, only my boat touches water only when it rains down in well-planned bucket-loads.

congrats man - but I gotta ask - you had THREE Z's? What made you give up the first one to begin with?
I say this but at the same time - I have contemplated trading my Z in....for ANOTHER Z with lower mileage and a Nismo or one with mods.

The first one was an '06. 350z, black and auto. Kept it for a year and then traded it for a 2009 370 Z base, auto. Read in these forums and reviews that the manual and the sports package were worth it, that rev match and manual were the way to go. A 13' gun metal, sports package with manual was available for a good deal in early 2015 was available and I bought that. A few months and about 12000 miles later, I made a huge mistake.

I was returning from Tunica (MS) after having lost more $$$ and filled with remorse, it was 9:15 a.m. And I took the exit to my home but a Mazda dealer was in the way. I pulled in and traded my Z car for a Mazda 6 for my wife. She had been driving an old Prius. I gave her the brand new Mazda6, took her Prius.

About two weeks later, my wife insisted I give the Prius to my daughter, get myself another car. I ran to the Mazda dealer, offered him the price of a new Mazda 6, said I wanted my old car (on his parking lot) back. He had my precious gun metal 2013 listed for $25,900, refused to sell it back to me for the price of a new Mazda 6 ($21000) or even $22500. I was pissed. I ended up buying a 2013 Genesis Coupe RSpec.

To my surprise, it was pretty good and fast too. Bright red with red leather seats and a nice interior. The 6 speed manual was not bad at all. I drove it for about 8 months, put on 16k miles.

However, I loved the look and exclusivity of the Z and finally ended up with a choice of a 2013 sports package auto, red with 32k miles at a $4000 difference or a 2014 model, sports package, auto (with an off market pioneer system with better sound) and just 8200 miles for a difference of $7000+. I opted for the latter.
