Got a new car.... so long altima coupe!

[toxik]

Well, time to join mehdi in the post-altimacoupe club. Today I gave in my 08 Super Black Altima Coupe 2.5s; and honestly seeing it being driven away was quite a sad feeling. I really got a quick flashback of all the moments I had in my AC. I have to say being on NICO was quite an experience on its own. I met a lot of cool people, became close friends with many of them as well. I still want to post in the altima coupe section, but I can only imagine my post count will be lower :\ . But then again I don't want this thread to sound like a farewell letter lol.

Anyways I thought it would be a cool idea to post up pics of the mod progress on my A/C, Below are a few pics over the years:













And here are the pics from earlier today, me dropping off my A/C *tear* and picking up my new car





And finally the new car:

[Mr.Coupe]

lol i knew that question was coming. yeah yeah i know, waste of a z not being on stick. part of the reason is that the 2010 Zs are coming out in late may here in NY (seasonal state) so I got a sick deal on this 09 Z, since the dealership is tyring to get rid of it. I'm not going to lie tho, I was looking for an A/T anyways. Again... I live in NYC lol. Dont hate guys, paddle shifters are awesome too haha

PS. all mods from the altima have been sold. i know a few people asked me about headlights and etc.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Congrats on the Z man! I was quite close to getting the same car but decided against it for now. Don't be a stranger!

You sold the G37S wheels? Would have loved to get my hands on those

BTW, I'll be nice about making a comment on the transmission choice

[darrdevil]

Beutiful car. The 370 looks classy as hell in white.

[08coupedriver]

Congrats man, looks sick
My friend has a 370z in auto and it is fast s***
especially in manual mode, its a complete different car

[nurseryboy]

EXCELLENT car choice! Z's are fast and beautiful cars. I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot

Nothing wrong with an auto; I owned a manual once "once" never again (my first car was a Z31 Turbo I got in the mid 90's), I say why get a car that you have to shift gears when you can get a car that does it for you. I'm still in the belief the only gain from manual over automatic is power limits. I know the first commit probably will get a negative response, but this one will probably more so, but the only thing I would say "waste of a z" is it being white. But great upgrade, I'm hoping in about fifteen years once my kids are older I can get back in a Z.

[audtatious]

Congrats on the Z! Start whoring our Z forums now

[karu11]

wow toxik, that is one beautiful ride. congratz

[DiamondWVU]

[rjdmmfl1]

ump, ump, ump...... another one bites the dust....

Beautiful 370! I remember when they first came out, I didn;t like the look... oh the error of my ways... nice upgrade , especially from the 2.5. i'm a few years away from another car upgrade... either two years, or five years... or whenever the A/C starts giving me problems... but for now, I'm gonna ride her out...

[mcheddadi]

yo toxik, are you bringing it to carlisle?!?! you better lol. I wanna compare .
excellent upgrade from a 2.5S. The power increase must be an incredible feeling!
I'll spare you my usual "FAILMATIC WTH?!" comment lol. You've got the sport pack, that should be soo nice on the track!

[RicerX]

congrats on the ride, good sir. Seems everyone is getting new cars.... I'll have to start up my thread here after I get some pics done.

Word! Nice choice on the white, btw. I really dig the 370 in white.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Im with doc on this... when we had the unveiling meet, the 370 didnt really do it for me, but ive grown to like it much more...
Nice to see you leave, but stay in the fam... Im with doc, I plan on riding this out till she kicks the bucket

[Rob.Vegan]

And finally the new car:

I was not expecting that. I was expecting like an 03 Suby or something
Nice choice though I really like the 370s.

[dangeris]

Nice to see you leave, but stay in the fam...

[BigDankCloud]

Nice new car. I may be getting a z soon as well. tsk tsk on the auto trans, but i understand your reasoning.

[White_SR]

Nice! Congrats on the new car and I definitely love the color choice

[sammyboy]

Did you lease it it? Or you ended up buying it?

[toxik]

[Dest556]

Congrats on the new 370! I love that car. I am truly jealous.
