Default From 99 DC4 to 03 350z - 3 months after I got the Z

Hey guys,

I bought my Z on January 21st of this year after losing my Integra in an ice storm. I still miss that car to this day but I had to mvoe on and I think the Z has been great to me.

Yesterday my buddy Vince and I decided to go out for a drive and take a lot of pics. All the pics credit goes to him (Vince Lei) and of course we had to go do the Asian thing and got bubble tea afterwards. Best part of it all is getting the front row parking spot and just seeing how many people stopped by to look at the ride really brought a smile to my face. I think I miss that the most from having my integra which I put 4 years of work into.

The Z still have more mods ahead but the pricy stuff are done (I think...lol) I hope you guys like her. I was on a very tight budget the whole time and being a full time University of Washington student and working partime...plus having a fiance...it was definitely not easy so if you see something thats not done, please excuse it and wait til next year lol

I lease luxury apartments 24 hours a week. Pay's ok but comission helps a lot. However I do have to work both weekend days and have been doing this for 4 years since high school so I'm thinking about getting out of it. Money's good but I'm getting tired. I'm trying to build up the Z with the more expensive stuff first so when I switch jobs I can just do the less expensive mods

where do you wanna live I can hook you up. I know what you mean though, rent's high and pay is low. Plus going to school at the Univ. of WA full time makes my life pretty busy. But I think it's worth it.

Thanks bro, I'm down whenever. I'm trying to start a UW car club too if you're interested we can get something going. I don't really drive the Z to school that much because parking at montlake sucks and parking at the library is $11 a pop lol...it's a bad situation. I used to drive a red DC4 that you might recognize though, had a CF hatch/hood with wingswest kit, drove it to school a lot last year. Still miss her til this day
