Don't see you post much in the other threads. How is your car?

38013 out the door. Not the best deal, but not too bad either. The fact that the car came 45 days early was well worth it, though!

Great!

I post now and then......hopefully not too much. Better to be driving than posting?

Going on 4k miles...

You did better than I did for sure. I paid sticker back in January.

No doubt, I'm over 2k miles now. It would be fun to meet up with some of you guys if I come up that way this summer.

We could do some runs in the gorge too? That would be South for me but I don't mind driving (+4k miles now). Driving around Rainier is big fun (really big fun ) too, but that would be a 2+ day event for anyone driving some distance just to get there. Might pull some Canadians down for the drive too.

I'm sure you have all seen the 370z Zele Mods/Outfits.. Yes?? What do you think. It's about 10k extra to get the same parts! I'm look'in to get my Z in the next few months and I think that mod is awsome.

I'm not a fan of the aftermarket kits. I think the Z looks perfect as-is. Even the wheels. I don't think anything else can compete. The ONLY think I'm thinking about is an exhaust.

blackberry860 · 04-08-2009, 04:16 AM

I see your point. I think it's nice as well but I do think it could use a few things. I mean some carbon fiber here an there would not only spice it up but lighten that heavy load. The exhaust is always a fun one to mess with. This Zele quad exhaust system is the ish~ though. In the end I guess it's a matter of opinion. I guess over all I would say that this Zele mod is the best mod "I" have ever seen. An I feel that what better car to give an even better look than the AWSOMTACKTASTULAR 370Z...

Soooo... finally took the Z out to Germantown road yestersday. That was my birthday present to myself. MAN!! That was a blast. Luckily there was hardly anyone else on it at the time. I didn't push too hard, with (number one) 700 miles of break-in still to go, and (number two) my wife was in the car with me

I didn't even get CLOSE to pushing her to the limit (the Z... not my wife). The VDC light flickered now and then, and I probably only got over 5k RPM a dozen times or so. But, the drive was like being on a thrill ride at an amusement park. SO FUN!!!

Blackberry, where in Oregon are you?

Now you have me wanting to go out and hit up Germantown. I'm still getting used to the 6-speed though. I've been a lazy auto guy for too long.

I FINALLY saw another 370z on the road! Monday, June 15, probabaly around 1:45 PM I was driving out to Bridgeport Village on the 5 when I saw a blue 370z going north. A few cars behind there was a silver 350z, as well. That anyone we know?
