New car in the household

Since the Evo is getting up there in mileage and im always worrying about something going wrong with it, I decided to get another car.. I have been looking around for a while and the only car i really wanted was the new CTS-V.. for some reason it just seemed like a good idea.. well, we all know GM has its issues and since the man at the dealership was a total doucher and wouldn't let me test drive it, i scrapped that idea real quick.. I found out that a family friend was discarding their vehicle and I jumped on the chance to buy it.. car has only 14000 miles and is in good shape.. the previous owner rubbed a wall or post and the right side panel behind the door needs some body work and paint.. so a deal was made and the money was handed over. And I am now a proud owner of a barely used Nissan GT-R!!!

ill pull the other pics off my iphone so you can see the damage.. its not too bad so im not that upset.. Its funny that people lol at the idea of this being a DD.. i kinda like the idea of it so far consider my Evo is an animal and with the AMS turndown exhaust its kind of insane to drive that all the time.. the Evo has been and will always be my preferred car and it always turns head around my area.. But the look you get from alot of people in the GT-R is just as good lol

the car is an 09. BTW

Nice work mate.

Awesome car. I'm so jealous.

I can quiet easily say that I will never have the $$$ to buy one, even if it is used.

I got the honor of taking a ride in one the other day. Those things just keep on pulling through every gear.

For now this car will be the DD.. I think while im still getting adjusted to it ill send the Evo out for some more work.. Ive been dying to get a bigger turbo setup and some other things. I had the GT-R out all day and night yesterday and its so responsive and its definitely has some power to back it up.. Its a totally different car overall than the Evo and i think i have to spend a day inside of the GT-R just to setup all the screens so i can see the gauges and find out what all the buttons do lol

here are the rest of the pics i was attempting to get off my phone.. you can see the wheel damage and the marks on the right rear panel behind the door.. there are also some other pics in the AMS section that have the launch control and the screens the car offers with all kinds of readouts and crazy things.lol
