Picked up a weekend car



http://www.mgunz.com/z/093/

It's an 03 350z Touring

What a fun machine! The cornering ability is just amazing.

very nice, never liked the shape of the 350z to be honest, but in reality, a great performing car!! congrats on the purchase, and that TSX will probably stay in the garage alot more if you are as much a driving enthusiast as I am.

Based on those wheels, it looks like an Auto.

Thanks. It is an auto but i am just getting too lazy. They both have the same engine, it's just easier to drive. I had a vette that was manual in the past and it just became a hassle to drive after a while. Its still very fun. I am just hoping that is doesn't make me want to sell the TSX

Congrats. My friend has one, same year, color and wheels but its manual and the base model. It really does corner really well... and its fun to kick the rear out too! His doesn't have an LSD though.... the Touring or Track model does though, doesn't it?

nice pickup, I just never thought of a 350Z as a weekend car

to me weekend car = somewhat rare/exotic, possibly convert

Nice! I would go for a MT myself but I understand being tired of shifting....occasionally.
