New car, sold Evo X

I've been on this forum since 2006. Started off with a 2006 Apex Silver Evo IX, sold that 2 years ago and got a Wicked White Evo X. The plan was to keep that until I graduated college next year. Fast forward to this month. My dream car has always been a Nissan GT-R, and I was going to get one once I graduated college, but one relatively close to me popped up for sale. The color was right, the mileage was amazing (under 4500), and the owner was an old guy who didn't beat on it. So yesterday I drove up north to Illinois and picked her up. I was sad to sell my Evo X, but I know it's in good hands with a fellow evom member. Here are some crappy pics I took. I was going to do a shoot today, but weather is horrendous.

Details about the car. It's a 2009 arrest me red GT-R premium that I picked up with 4381 miles. Now has about 4500 miles. Plans for the car is an Alpha 7 or Alpha 7 equivalent (where I piece it together myself).

Not glass, any transmission is glass if you abuse it. Everyone says the 6 speed in the Evo IX were glass. But just had a few bucks laying around and decided to get this car.

Wow nice car! Good luck to you w/ it.

Tint it out dark like the black one you were with, I love these in red! I'd love to own one of these one day, but im a manual trans junky. Kind of wish I wasn't soo partial to manual trans so I can pick up a CL55AMG, GTR, I like big luxo barges but they are not made in stick shift. Besides the CTS-V tho.
