I don't see a manual release for the trunk, can you confirm that the 370z has one?

We were discussing this yesterday at our meet.

Isn't it behind the passenger seat in a place you would never use it unless your fob was toast? IDK but I'm also curious, do any of Y'alls (Texas accent lol) trunks catch when you press the release once and you have to press it again for it to open. sometimes I will press it and pull up and the hatch goes up about one inch and catches on something so I have to press it a second time, but it doesn't always do it

Yes mine does this. I thought it was because I have had my trunk replaced due to a tree branch falling on it (I have bad luck with this car) and the body shop did a cruddy job fixing it. Guess thats not the case. But, yeah my truck def does this.

I washed my Z yesterday and now it's raining

Normally after I wash it I let the wheels dry and I leave my cover half on

Waizz, btw I know I have said it before but your 350 is really nice. You most certainly dont see them that well done too often. Hats off to you sir

We were curious where it actually was located, I will let the guys know.

Do you have an aftermarket wing? Mine would get stuck during the colder months but now that I have the NISMO wing I have to press the button twice all the time

I really appreciate the compliments, I just can't believe that in two months my Z will be 8 years old

Motored my Z this am and QD'ed afterwards. Was a great am.

also fixed 2 switch guts going to my garage/utility room. On the garage side I bought a illuminated switch so that I can tell after I lock the door from the garage side if I turned the light off in the utility room or not.

. With short memory these days I tend to have to unlock the door to visually check. Now I don't have to.

it never really gets that windy here

They came with the bumper, they are Carbon Fiber NISMO Version 2-style.

VW had brought out one of the new bugs to the show, it looks a lot better than the last generation. The last 2 months I've been there Lamborghini of Dallas had brought one of their 2 Reventons to the show.... So sick! That would have been cool to restore the dune buggy

Interesting as Lamborghini of Houston has had an Aventador at our Cars and Coffee the past few months, and someone had a new Volkswagen Scirocco - very sweet car!

We had about 12 Z's, a 1600 Roadster, and a 2000 Roadster in the "Z area" yesterday. Tons of interest in the two Roadsters.

If you have a chance to get out to a local Cars and Coffee, I'd highly recommend it. I just wish Dallas and Houston picked different weekends. I'd love to ride up to Plano and see the cars there.
