Message Well, people have begun to ask questions, so I figure I'll make a post about my new Z.
A little backround: I still can't believe I found this car. I was very interested in a white TT in WI, and was strongly considering going out to see it. I look last Sunday on Cars.com at about 8:00, and HELLO, red 5spd TT 70 miles from me. I call; I like what I hear. Go to look at it Monday afternoon, love it, buy it Monday night. In less than 24 hours, I found, drove, and bought the TT I thought I was going to be in searching for months. To top it off, the owner of the white TT emails me the next day and says he decided to keep it. Wow!
Here are the specs: '90 Cherry red on black leather 5spd TT, 57k miles, immaculate mint condition, always garaged and stored, 2 owners, bought from EXTREMELY nice 50 year old man who took excellent care of it. 60k maintenence done. Runs and drives like a dream. Bone stock and ready for mods :) It's owner is a different story though... this car is FAST, and although I drive it very carefully, I think I'd kill myself with more HP. We'll see in a week or so though :)
Only thing I've done to it is put an Alpine head unit in, since it didn't come with a CD player, and most of my MJ music is on CD's, so I couldn't live without one :)
Well, you KNOW being the pic whore that I am, I have pics of it. Here's a few:

Here's a few pics of me and WingZero stopped at a park, right after he drove me to pick it up:

You'll notice my car has dent strips on the doors and 1/4 panels; at first I hated them, but they're growing on me. Not sure if I can take them off easily, I'm going to take it to a body shop and see what they say, but they really don't bother me much anymore. We'll see.
Mod plans? I'm modding slow and doing it right; nothing cheap or ricey touches this car. I decided I love how quiet a stock TT is, and don't want a loud car. I'm thinking I want a nice quad tip exhaust, looking at the Stillen one. Who knows what I'll decide on though.
Well, just thought I'd share. Can't tell you all how happy I am :)
Seeya!
