This was one of my favorite cars growing up. I remember watching Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and wanting a 350z; but then this model came out and I instantly fell in love. I waited for so long to get this car because it was always out of my price range, and one day one of my best friends messages me. He told me there was a friend who's uncle was selling one for ridiculously cheap, but he was located in Houston. I wanted it.
So then I asked him to test drive it for me since I lived in Dallas, and he calls me and shows me on video how it performed. I knew I wanted to buy it, and a few months later after some discussion it was mine. I invested so much time into this car. So many good memories as well. There was a time that it snowed (reference the photos above) and I ended up getting stuck. We had to use the floor mats in order to get me unstuck.
Sadly, with my departure to move to New York, I decided that it wouldn't make any sense for me to have a vehicle up north. Especially a rear wheel drive vehicle. I already knew how often I would get stuck in snow, so I didn't want to risk it; but still, this was the best car I've ever owned.
