This is my first Z car. I wanted a sports car, but it had to be something I would enjoy as a daily driver. I had no interest in owning a “garage queen”. After looking at a wide variety of pre-owned cars, I saw my first 350Z. After just a little research, I decided Nissan did an excellent job combining styling, performance, and affordability. After 40,000 + miles, I have not changed my mind. When I purchased my 350Z, I thought I was buying a car to drive. I did not realize I had also picked up my newest hobby. As you can see below, although Nissan did an outstanding job on the car, I have not been able to leave it alone. And, I have a few more items to adjust or add in the not so distant future.
