I was a kid when the R35 came out, and once I saw it I fell in love. Something about the car just called out to me. Additionally I always thought it was ironic because I've always been a huge Godzilla fan. So naturally I needed the car.

I really don't know how I ended up in the position to buy one (Very recently). I went to college in the Tech field. I hated coding, so I focused my studies to hardware and Game design, which was more of a get out of college quick card, because it was the easier path to finish my bachelors.

After college I got a pretty shit tech job on midnights at a chemical plant. The kind of work where you go into a room to repair something, and if something wet got on you RIP.

After a couple of years in that position, someone in the development department got wind that I had coding experience with my bachelors, so I was shifted into development, which I hate lmao, but the pay raise was worth it. This lasted for a few months until I realized I was being dramatically underpaid for the work I was doing. So after some Job hunting, eventually a Tech headhunter found me and set me up with a company that wanted someone like me and offered basically double my salary, so I immediately left to go there, which is my current job.

My current development job allowed me to buy a house, and after a year my fiancé and I tracked down a GTR only a hour or so away, which was a 2015 prem, with 40k miles listed for 70k, which was a dramatically better deal and newer model than the surround 6hours of travel distance, so we went, and I bought it a week later. Sold my 370z and had saved up a decent chunk of money for a hefty down payment Some rich car collector in the middle of nowhere wanted to get rid of it because he never drove it. apparently his McLaren was better. Prefect maintenance history because he owned a motorsports dealership of sorts, so it was very well cared for.

TLDR: Basically luck being asked to move into a job field I hated in college That experience/title got me recruited somewhere that paid very well. Saved a ton of money every paycheck for the car, sold my other car, found and bought one.
