My 14yo son no longer wants a late-model Dodge Challenger, now he wants a Nissan 370Z.  I can only assume it's been recently featured in some ticktock, or maybe it's in a Fast and Furious movie?  I wouldn't know, I've never seen any of those.

Still better looking than the new "Mach-E" thing.

The Mustang Mach-E, while I wouldn't say it's grown on me and I consider it good-looking, I can say that I've grown used to it and don't really find it so hideous any longer.

I mean, it's still not a Mustang and never should have been called such. 

But while I wouldn't buy one, I hate the looks less than before.

Personally, I would avoid it. I had one(350Z) in 2003. I loved it. Drove like a cheaper version of a Porsche.. until it was wet out. I had winter tires on it and it was still rough in the winter. Took them off in May. On a rainy day, first weekend without winter tires, yet new tires,  I was merging on the highway, not merging like an idiot and the car spun out, off the highway and flipped multiple times. I was lucky to be alive and not injured. Car was totaled.  Once I starting digging into it, the car was known to have some safety issues. Even the modern version, 370Z, still makes rankings for most unsafe vehicle.. It's an amazing inexpensive car to drive, but there's a reason it makes the unsafe lists.

I received an email from Chevrolet this morning stating that my Husker Red 2024 C8 had arrived at my dealership.
I rolled up about 10:45am and found this in the shop

Not "was gonna get" but actually DID get.  It's a sweet ride, wish I'd had something that cool in high school.

Great advice from Super.

I'll be honest, i don't see any way his ultra-conservative Texas A&M graduate grandfather would ever buy a foreign car for him, anyway.  He'll get 'Murican or nothing at all.

I guess it's real.
Been on a waiting list for months
Placed the order late January.
I didn't post anything here until it was off the trailer and in the shop.
Wrote the check this morning
I will pick it up on Friday
