I think that freaks out some people who I've past on the road lol, but ya, beads and flies right off, love that.

And isn't It cool how no water gathers on the back windshield? THAT completely explains the engineers thoughts of no rear wiper. I'm so glad they didn't continue down that road. The back hatch looks soooo much sexier without it!

Thanks! 2.5S sedan. The CVT is smooth and the ride is so comfortable and quiet. Its perfect for the daily grind stuck in stop and go traffic and it doesn't drink premium.

Posted a pic in the Mid-A forums.

Meh, my last ride took premium...and I drove it for 9 yrs. I'm pretty much used to it by now! I don't know if I should

or

Yea my last ride also took premium, drove it for 7 years before getting the Z. I am actually excited I can go fill up now and not have to pick 93. Thats pretty sad huh?

I drove mine in the pouring rain with almost no visibility to ck my DW's performance about a month ago.

I do this on occassion to test footing.

Going to pull out my Z in 30.

Haha, we got caught in a mojor thunderstorm Saturday just outside of Fairfax on the way to see my daughter play volleyball....

^ The skyline cruise went though that on the way to the mountain... thankfully it was moving east when we were moving west - didn't last long.

TheGreatOne · 09-05-2011, 09:02 AM

I think that freaks out some people who I've past on the road lol, but ya, beads and flies right off, love that.

Yep, I use the Rain-X washer fluid in all my cars too. That helps too. The wipers last considerably longer as well.

Hmm perhaps it was the European version. Some country out there still gets a wiper and looks better without it.

You darn Canadians got the Nav in the 40ths..... Wanna trade? Haha

I watched it finally ARRIVE

After purchase, service and mods(oil cooler, red start button, mats, splash guards etc) it made it across the Atlantic to Germany!

More pics to follow after a good clean up and wax and proper registation with German plates. It drove amazingly well and strong. Only has 667 miles, just a few kilometers above 1000. Almost broken in. Bought it off the web from a dealer in Houston(Toyota). Gent owned it for a couple months and let it go.

Baker Nissan North took control of it for me and did all the work prior to shipping. They are a great place!! Thanks to Paul Morgan and his team there for making this dream come true for me. More to follow on driving the Z here in Germany and Europe! Cheers, Dave in Stuttgart!
