Smile Jdm -> Dtm
Hello everyone,

I am now officially transferred from JDM to DTM.
Picked up a 05' last week. It is my first Euro and my first sedan. I still need to get use to its size and weight, but overall, I am very happy with it.
I am a mod-it-holic. I can't wait to see what she is capable of. However, I am going to learn more about her before I start doing anything. With the information I read on this forum, I think I'll be okay.
Okay, enough talk. Here she is...

Cool deal. You are not that far from me then. Nice on the SL. I've always wanted a SL(I dig the convert hardtop), but I have to drive my pa and ma around so chose the E.

Nice Fairlady you got there, probably the best I've seen so far by private owner. I too came from JDM to DTM, also a mod-a-holic, was very into my EVO & WRX, still have them, but I think the European fits me better for my current stage of life.

Good stuff. I too decided that I should slowly get out of the "fast and the furious" theme and get a 4 door. But I won't let myself forget the fun of driving a car, that is why I chose the AMG E.

Hey Mike! nice to see you here too! I sold the car last month. Yeah, got the 55 for the 2007 season. Maybe I'll see you with your 55 at the next show?!
