It's HERE!
This right here is the 2009 Nissan GT-R, the coolest piece of metal and wheels that I am most enthusiastic about. I've been "into" the line of Nissan Skylines, GT-Rs 32, 33, 34, V-spec, M-spec, Nur, GT500s, and Nismos, since highschool and it's great to see the latest iteration, GTR35 finally here in America!
Nissan Skylines are known as a "poor man's" supercar... very loosely touched because the vehicle is still about $80,000. But the best thing about it is that it performs viciously beyond a Porsche 911, Lamborghini, or even Ferraris, 0-60mph is a mere 3.2 seconds!!! These cars have been reserved for all over the world but USA and it is so striking to me that it's finally here in America!
I saw this red one pass by while I was making my way up to Long Beach on I-5. It's supposed to be out in Fall, but I'm not sure if someone got the hook-ups on it or what, but it's so fantastic to see this legendary line of cars finally make it to America.
I thought it over some more though. Nissan Skylines have been a enthusiast's car with a strong band of culture behind it. There's racers, there's family, and there's the good ol' fanatics over it. In Japan, there are countless events for the GT-R and it's a tight group behind this beast. I'm just pondered of how all the rich, grubby well-doers will react to the car. It IS a cheap, powerful car and I can already picture rich kids gettin' it for their 16th birthdays... I would not react very well to that.
I see more life past the car itself. There's so much enthusiasm in this car that I think lost rich boys should better understand before owning such a thing. I would love to be the one to pull up next to a guy in a Nissan GT-R and ask "Are you sure you understand what you are driving? Because I really doubt it." This ain't no "ordinary" Porsche, Mercedez, Lexus, BMW, or Audi. This is a Nissan and Nissan made it for the spirit of race and speed and I think we better keep if far from the category of just another rich guy's car... because it aint,... if that made any sense.
I'd like to get one myself.. If I ever did well after the military. But I don't know... this will come 7th to whatever I would care about most like God, family, wife, kids, friends, etc.

Hey! I haven't heard from you in a while. Probably because you're all happy with your girl and whatnot. :))) How is everything going?
You know me. Senior year and whatnot. Wooooo. Haha.
Yes, he is treating me extremely well. We're super happy. September 1st was our 8th month anniversary. : )) I'm doing well. Senioritis is kicking in. Haha. I'm pretty much ready to be out of high school and on with college.
