If anyone lives in Maryland. I was done with my first day of school at College Park and was chillin with my friend in front of his apartment over at Camden (the new apartments by the Ikea). It was getting a bit dark so all i saw when it was coming up were the bright Xenon headlights. Of course, as with any car with bright headlights, I turn to look. As it comes off the roundabout towards me, I thought to myself those headlights look odd, since I usually can identify the car in second. Then It comes closer and I see the whole front, and at first I just thought to myself it looks like the gtr...then it comes closer and i see the gtr badge. It passed RIGHT by my car, it was some old white guy driving and then saw the back as it passed me. Me and my friend were going crazy. 100% sure it was the nissan Gt-r. And this guy lives in the camden apartments. I heard that in July the first american gtr was sold to some guy in socal. Well looks like MD has it's own gtr also.

I saw one during the carshow in DC. Right hand drive jspec. And this is the first skyline I've seen on the road. I've never even seen a R34/R33 before this...and yes. I am pressed.

I saw a GTR finally 2 weeks ago or so. It was crashed through a gate. I couldn't believe my eyes, eventhough it looked totalled, it still looked nice lol

I saw a thread earlier this week on another forum, the guy did $20k+ in damages. The front looked totalled.

Probably the first crashed GTR in America... and where else but in Brooklyn

does anyone know just how many gtr's are supposed to be sold in america? My friend used to work for alteredatmosphere and some guy (who bought the g37s the day that it came out, and took it straight to them to have the engine rebuilt and twin turbo'd) said for them to be ready to take apart the GTr cuz he was planning on buying it and having them make the beast into a monster.You can do anything with money. btw. alteredatmosphere sucks. Just thought I'd put that out there.

Hey dude, question, is andy the guy from Blue BATmobile? And you had your roof overlay done from him? It looks really good in your pics, how much did it cost and is it completely flush with the paint? Does it need special attention when washing etc? Do you mind taking a clear pic of the overlay and emailing me? I'd appreciate it man thanks.

...getting back to the thread my apologies, but hey its surprising; where's the sarcastic remarks now?.....I got freakin hammered with nonsense when I posted a topic concerning the Gt-R a couple weeks ago. I think I rest my case concerning my comment about the GT-R being a mutual interest! (refer to my post - "GT-R is here")

It's quite the big deal when you see it in person on the road or at the dealer in my case. It's one damn beautiful piece of machinery, I mean I haven't seen the release of a car that has had it's image plastered on every car magazine around the world and ppl mutually around the world being gaga over it!

I was in japan through the summer, saw numerous R33s n R34s, and like 3 or 4 R35s... maybe its just me, but the R35s seem a bit faster in Japan then one I saw on the track a few months ago.
