Here's my oldest son with his new toy: A 2008 Nissan 350Z Touring with 10k miles on it. He got a fair deal one it...not a steal, but a fair deal...and he doesn't have sell his Celica since they it in trade. He'd decided that he wanted a sports car and fell in love with the Z. He'd driven it Saturday and asked me to come check it out with him today. It's a great car...just like new. It has an automatic trans, but it's the Porsche-patented "Tiptronic" 5-speed. It's like driving a car with a ratchet shifter once ya get away from a standing start. I felt very comfy with it...never got it outta 4th and it damned near blew me away when I stood on it in 1st and it rushed up on the 7500 rpm redline. 306 hp. Not too shabby. No back seat, but it's a sports car. Now I have to decide if I wanna buy the C3500 extended cab dually with 7.4l Vortec motor that's been offered to me at a steal of a price...but it's in Kentucky. Hmmm.... r |
