stevie_350z Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Firstly, I expected my chariot to hit the 12k mile after a year but the bugger has been so good to drive (apart from bloody creak) that I've clocked up loads... starting to calm down though now. Anyhoo, I thought I'd provide a plain and simple summation of what its been like, and what the car is like after that first birthday: 0) I pulled up in partner's car and saw my new, wet-looking Kuro outside th showroom reflecting the red Nissan sign across it's body work. Dr00l. 1) When I drove out of the show room on a cold, dark, January night, I was scared to death. The first road had more speed bumps, of different shapes, I was sh1tt1ng the bed. The left foot was twitching and I kept driving for three hours or more! 2) I had never driven a car that attracted such looks - kids pointing, women dribbling, men falling over kerbs, people in restaurants stopping their dinner. Must get some better sunglasses, oh and shave. 3) First paint chip after 3k - big bloody "something" hitting drivers door, leaving a three pronged chip in the middle of drivers door 4) Remember the tune Senses Working Overtime?: And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste And Ive got one, two, three, four, five Senses working o-ver-time 5) After 6k the car paint is showing wear and tear, with swirls, chips and marks all over... Despite costly investments in cloths, liquids and time. 6) Nurburgring beckons and four laps later, plus a 158 mph speed on the straight autobahn, plus beautiful curvy mountain drives, leads to my driving partners (M3 and Scoobies) being open mouthed with lines like "your car sounds fan-f*cking-tastic!". I had several twitchy moments but the car was beautiful to handle. MORE POWER! 7) More chips, more creaks now. Took the dealer a month to give me a slot to fix, but then I was working in California so I have to rebook. Creaking is getting worse. 8) At just under 12k, and this car is the best thing I ever did. Apart from the missis, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
