Default New Z

Just purchased my first Z, it a Quicksilver Metallic with red & black leather interior, with 4,000 miles’ on it. I have been waiting to pay off my 2002 Harley Davidson F150 which is my weekend ride before I got the Z. The Z will be my daily driver, and this car is every thing that I dreamed it would be.

Nothing like a Z. I still laugh every time I get on it a bit while entering a highway or passing someone.

Stomp on gas pedal in 4th gear and hope your dental work is secure!
