Just bought a new toy!!!!

I sold the Lightning and bought a 2005 35th Anniversary Edition 350Z.

I really didn't want to sell the truck, but the gas was killing me. At over $300 in gas a month, it was time for something a bit more economical. I'm averaging 23 mpg compared to about 12mpg. It isn't as fast as the truck, but she sure is a lot of fun.
Here is one pic....I will post more after I give it the full treatment...

Very nice. I'm a big Nissan fan and almost got one of these. I love the engine sound.

Re: Just bought a new toy!!!!

Thanks guys....like I said, I'm still getting used to it. The thought of the Lightning being gone is hard, but it is a pretty nice replacement.

As far as modding it, I'll hold off on that for a while. Probably some exhaust & cold air intake to start......
Pats300.....what intake did you put on yours? Very nice car BTW!!!
