I'm officially back!

Hey there everyone...I took delivery of my new to me '15 370Z Sport Tech.

I happened across one locally that had more miles than I would have usually considered in the past (15k) - but I'm now in Texas so everyone here puts a ton of highway miles. Anyway...it was in literally showroom condition. And I got an AMAZING deal...so I just did it.

If you remember me...I had a '12 Roadster that I bought in 13 new and had done some customizing. It was a fantastic car for Los Angeles when I had a 4 mile commute to work, but then we moved to a different part of LA and it was NOT a car for the 405. So I traded it for a Q50S loaded...it drove itself which was GREAT on the 405! Then I traded that for a Q70S and tuned it, and then had a Wrangler Unlimited that I customized and was great as a 3rd car for LA, but when I got to Texas it was not a fit for the crappy roads and how I had it customized. So I traded that for a 16 S5. Short story...I ended up trading the Q70S and S5 for the S6. And then made Dallas home instead of having one in LA and one in Dallas.

Anyway - my daily is a 2016 Audi S6, and this will be my fun car. I have been on this forum for a long time. I have heard it all. complaints and love, alike.

My take is that this is SUCH a GREAT car for the actual dollars. Especially for what I got mine for. Few offer all the features and performance and reliability and customizing options, and and and... I know its an older platform...but I see old 911s and 3 series all the time. That does not diminish how much fun this is...and the quality for $$ is really up there.

I'm looking forward to playing with this car...in a way I could not really with the roadster. And I plan on keeping this for quite some time. If I win the lottery...I'd spring for a 911 4S...lol

Attached is a pic...its cloudy here today...
