On July 7, 2008, at 12:01 A.M., to the envy of wishful thinking Gran Turismo owners everywhere, Daryl Alison, male, Caucasian, of Costa Mesa, CA, purchased a Premium model Nissan GT-R at Universal City Nissan in the Los Angeles area--the first ever US-spec GT-R to be sold stateside.

The color of the very first GT-R sold? Black Obsidian. And with that dark-hued purchase, Daryl is now the proud owner of not one, but two black R35 GT-Rs. But if that was the first, how is that possible, you might ask? Daryl owns the R35 from the SCC cover story two blogs ago. Like how we have a left and right sock to put on every morning? He has the choice between a LHD and RHD GT-R. Hating? So are we.
