Trigger pulled: '11 XS

so, after much drooling over the coupe, I drove both, and went with an '11 XS sedan. This one from the show room:




had 3 miles on it, and was spotless. I'll post more picks if it ever stops farking raining.

Coupe was great, but this has what I want and need: AWD, comfort/seating, and performance. Coming from an '05 Z, it's a huge change.

I'm a nurse, and I work in the home, so I need to be absolutely certain I'm going to "make it". Since I live in PA, where the seasons are Almost Winter, Winter, Still Farking Winter, and Road Construction, it will really do me well.

Going to order the Gen 3 Intakes, get the windows tinted, and get some sways. Then going to pay it down a bunch before I do anything else (financed $20K). After I get it down by half, it will be December-ish, so I will save over the Winter for a drop (coils) and new shoes (something forged/concave... looking at YOU, Vossen!)

Is there a roof spoiler out yet? Opinions on that? Also, might swap out the break pads with some carbon-ceramics. Best ones for daily use? Will probably get the calipers painted at the same time. Black? Flat gray? No racing red or yellow. I don't want a tuner look. Maybe a real dark red?

Anyway, the wifey digs it, my patient thinks its "too nice" for me, and I am going to make my bro-in-law very jealous this Saturday night.

So, a wall-flower no more, officially part of the club!

Nurses are awesome! Love how they seem to know about what's going on than the doctors...lol

Check out Blacktop Aero's roof spoiler sold via RavSpec (Mark). In my opinion, probably the best looking roof spoiler available.

ENJOY and congrats!
