Dream Realized with Pics

ZForce

The dream all started with the first leaked pictures and data leak on the car. Everyone (including myself) was saying that they needed to see the car in the flesh. Well seeing it in the flesh came sooner for me than a lot people in the nation. That’s because Sacramento, CA was third on the leg for the Follow the Z North America Rally. Two were being driven across nation to hi performance shops and only one Nissan dealer: Sacramento’s Nissan of Elk Grove.


The below are excerpts from several threads and posts about the dream and it being realized. Grab your favorite chair and kick back for a story.

After that day, the bro fell in luv with the 370z and the plan was for me to sell my 05 Silver Stone and take over his 06 Inter Lagos Fire. The bro would get the new 370z and I would get to pick out the color because in 1-2 years I would get it and he would buy another one…..so as the excerpts continue below…..


Here is the entire page with pics of the colors. 370 Rally at NoEG .. pics - Page 16 - G350Zdriver.com Forum

Fast forward to picking the color:






And the 05 goes up for sale for what would turn out to be a blow out price. No bites at 17k and still no bites at 15K then the blow out price.

Excerpt from the 4 sale thread.


It practically sold within a few hours, even though the transaction took a few days. Sold to a good person (Phong) who will take care of the car and enjoy it for many years to come. We were given a surprise: the buyers credit union wanted a smog test….oh….sheeeet..with a Nismo catback exhaust and Nismo Cold Air Intake…..it’s gonna fail……it passed!.



And then the real kicker my bro said he told the dealer to order the Platinum Graphite and also the Red. So up goes for sale the 06 Inter Lagos Fire.


I sold it the next day for another blow out price of 15K.


Funny thing is, both buyers live within 2 miles of me and I will see the cars at the local super markets. Phong who bought mine has already gone on a run with us and plans on more GTG’s and runs. The lady that bought the bro’s car is good behind the wheel, and the car is her.


Next was keeping it a surprise for the Sac crew and ZONC members on the upcoming Contra Costa Run. John ( 06CPV35) was the only person that new at first of the Platinum Graphite 370z. Then Phong (xvtec fan), Eddie (Nismo916) and Oliver (LostCloud) all whom attended the run.

We were going to pull the wool over the eyes of Jeremy (JZ33) and Alan (inqui-Z-tor ) who were going to meet up at a caravan spot but not make the run. More excerpts below.


So here are the pics of delivery day and on our first and second meet. The bro’s red 370z did not get here until Tuesday night 3/24/09. And mine was here on 3/12/09, so you know how I felt when his car was not here. I let him drive the car everyday all day until his car arrived. The surprise the salesman and I played on the bro was priceless. We told him on a voicemail while in Sams Club that the car was not going to be here in time for the Stockton Meet on Sat 3/28/09. The bro blew a gasket, it was such a let down and disappointment. The dealer had just received the car off the trailer from Eugene Or, and he drove it over to Sam’s Club and surprised the bro when he walked out the door. It brought tears to his eyes.

Look what my brother gave me!

A paid off 370z….he is the best brother!


Cheers
