Hey guys.
I have 2 japanese (well, one US and A) cars.
I'm still happy though!
Did you guys know the J series motor was built here, always? 20 years already. Also, btw...they put it in the Saturn Vue for a while too.

So I stopped in at a Nissan dealership to see if I can fit in a 370z. No dice on the soft top- well, I could make it work, but it's not ideal. No biggie though. I don't want a soft top anyway 
The hard top is a perfect fit, though. They didn't have any Nismo editions on the lot, but they said they can factory order me one and it'll take 2-3 months to get here. Perfect.
My concern- the 370z has been out since 2009. There was some rumors in December 2015, from Nissan, saying that a new version is in the works. I'm willing to bet it will have the Q70 power plant- aka twin turbo, 400hp. I feel like I'd be selling myself short if I bought the 350hp 370zN now, when a new model is somewhere in the pipeline. But then again.. I don't want a first year model anyway, as they always tend to have bugs and the later models are always faster, nicer, you name it. So maybe I should look at the current 370zN
The other thing is- with a turbo- chip it, make mad power. With NA- spend 10k and make 30hp more. Sigh.
Anyway, at least I know I can fit in the car. That was step 1.
They also had a GT-R Nismo in the show room. Obviously it was "barricaded" off (you could easily touch the car if you wanted to... and I did
) Wow. the carbon body parts on that car look phenomenal. The fitment of the pieces was absolutely flawless and the carbon pattern looked just as nice. I took some crappy pics. Enjoy, for what they're worth.

I'm super tall and getting super fat
6'7" and 245 pounds... I want to get back to about 210 pounds.
I'm trying to get back on the healthy band wagon again. It's been extremely hard though. My schedule is always go-go-go, so it makes it very tough to eat right and find time to hit the gym. I'm hoping when the landscaping is done, life returns to normal.

Adam, have you looked into used 3G TL's? They are reasonably priced, decently powered, nicely miles per gallons'ed and nice to look at.
Check them out, man!

No. No. No. and No.
I really want something sport oriented that would be a dedicated summer car only... Although the TL-S has a special place in my heart, there's no way I'd garage store it through the winter... and I don't need two of the same car!

The other thing that keeps sitting on my mind- the next generation s2000.
Some issues:
1. Who knows when it will be released.
2. I don't want a first year model again- think AP1 vs. AP2. AP2 FTW.
3. Who knows if I'll fit in it. If Honda made the cabin about 3/4" longer and with a tilting steering wheel, I'd be golden. But who knows what they have in mind.

I think if you stop thinking of yourself as so tall, your mind will make you fit into a current s2000.
