My bank account is going to feel it hard for the next 5 years lol. Its a 2003 Enthusiast, cloth seats black interior, manual seats. A guy had traded it into the dealership last night. Auffenberg nissan was having a weekend blowout thing giong on so I figured i would go see if they hand any nice prices and test drive a 350. Found this one still kinda dirty and dusty and they let test drive it, I'm sorta glad i had my parents with me so they weren't so warry of handing the keys to me lol. It was the first time i've ever driven one and just immediatly fell in love with how it handles and accelerates. Brought it back worked out the financing and check the vin and insurance quotes and felt i could handle it all so bought it. The big seller was that it only had 9830 miles on it and it was alil over $23k. i'll snap a picture tomarrow with it next to my 240 for all you skeptical folk:)

Dayum...I guess someone is big pimpin' now.lolCongrats on the new Z. I guess you now belong to some exclusive club with your new ride. I hope to join in a couple years. Is it the angle or does the front wheel look like it's got positve camber?

Nice Z! They do handle beautifully, don't they. I get to "test drive" them all the time, and I never get tired of it. I would never buy one though; I'm too short, and I can't stand the way they made the doors. I guess I'll just have to buy a G35 (eventually). I prefer the way they look anyways.

Congratulations!

Congrats on the 350 Definately a good deal for the money. I've started seeing lots of 03's with low miles for around 20K. Most certainly a fun toy!

What time did you stop by the shop? I spent most of the day up in godfrey illinois. I hope you went in and shopped around:) Maybe next time you swing by i'll actually be there(like really early before 9 or sometime after 4:30) Looks like you have a nice camera

Very nice.

I always figured myself more of an S2000 customer than a Z customer, but recently I've started to really warm up to the Z.

Wish I could just buy both...or...either...for that matter...

I think I was there somewhere between 2p and 3p. I pulled up, took snapshots, and left. If they saw me I'm sure they'd wonder wtf I was doing.

I was afraid to walk inside -- I'd run the risk of blowing $150 on new Grados. Jason knows his head-fi.

Did you ever get a chance to go in the hi end 2channel stereo room when we had the B&W 802's on display? I love them to death but 12grand a pair:(

My problem with home audio is that its too easy for me to get sucked into the orgasmic bliss of pure and clean audio reproduction. I could never walk out of a sound room like that without amassing tons of debt. Now that you mentioned it, I have to check it out!

I've only been in the main lobby in front trying out headphones on the Denon CD changer. I need to get my hands on a pair of Grado 125s.
