The car is stock with just stupid dark window tint. It's a 2010 with 1400 miles.
I bought it from a friend of a friend who gets 2-3 new cars a year. Sold my m3 to a BMW dealer who did a courtesy trade for us. The car has only been washed once since he got it. Every option including ridiculous $3k super silver paint. I'll take some pics once wash it in a couple days.

As far as the difference between the m3, it rides rougher but when you stomp the skinny pedal, HOLY FAWK! I am really kind of sad about giving up the m3 but I bought the GT_R right so i can have some fun for a while and not lose my ass TOO BAD!

Still has the plastic on the floor from the factory.

Seriously, though. Congrats!

Beautiful car I'd take it over an M3 any day.

A friend's dad was seriously considering one of these as his DD year-round. He bought a convertible 135

Enjoy! And wash it

Wow congrats! I got to drive a GT-R a month or so back at work and it was quite an experience.

And DAMN that exhaust is insane. I'm sure the price tag is too.

That's some commercial property (a sno ball stand) that backs up to my dad's property. I live next door. We live in a small artsy town in Louisiana called Abita Springs. We don't live in a subdivision, just in town.

I used to be a tugboat captain and I was gone from home a lot. My parents gave us a lot when we got married to build our own home. Through their gift and contracting the house myself (and doing alot of work myself) I was able to build a $250k house with a very little mortgage. It was great. My wife had any help she needed when I was gone.

3 years ago I got very lucky and was able to become a ship pilot. My income literally went up almost 10x overnight. We are eventually going to move, but I had to borrow a HUGE chunk of cash to buy in to the pilot association partnership and have about 2.5 yrs. left to pay on that. Also it's just kind of tough to sell a house literally on your parents property. The signed it over to us but their property wraps around ours. Also, I still work nights and am gone some, and my wife having instant help is nice.

Our house is 2100 sf and is big enough for now. We will probably stay here 2-3 years, divide up the property and both move.

That is my story of why I am white trash with expensive cars living in a cheap house. Our town is a historical area and all new houses have to be built to look old. This my house in a rare louisiana snow.

Sorry, didn't mean to question you but like someone else said, everyone had to be thinking it haha All I could picture was your next thread, "shit, my GTR was stolen from my driveway. On the plus side, they left me the front bumper when they hit the giant pothole in the driveway while making a quick get away."

Awesome, awesome car and sorry to derail the thread. Best of luck with it

Oh, nice house too!

What amazed me more in the video is how that car launches! I still dont understand a car that size launching in under 4 seconds. Its just mind boggling!

But...

I'm still more of an M3 guy
