Having to wait is almost unbearable!

DIGItonium · 02-18-2009, 08:42 PM

Welcome to the waiting club. I put in a tiny deposit to reserve a PG Z arriving around Mar/Apr time frame. All of a sudden a bunch of layoffs were announced at my workplace and most of my friends got the notice. There is quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding me.

On the other hand, I'm taking advantage of some deals and group buys to ease the waiting anxiety.

I feel your pain. I got lucky and heard on Monday that I am in my Z in under 20 days. One on a boat about to arrive was not bought yet and met my order. Got lucky but even this short wait is killing me.

I know one guy that totaled his G and got a replacement, the truck carrier got hit and a few G's got hit also....but his made it through cause it was on top.....lol

not to make more anxiety for you fellas

Same here, test drove 370 first day it hit town, waited a few days then took out a 08 fully loaded then drove the same exact 370 again. put my order in for a 09 370 Red/black leather,sport pkg, and touring(6m/t). It's like i want to go dealer to dealer just to test drive. I've never owned a sports car before, the test drive was cool as h*ll. But da*n, spring needs to hurry its a** up.

I waited 1 year for my Saturn Sky Redline..........and ended up trading it in in a flash after seeing the 370Z. Guess I'm in the snaggers club, my wait for the 370Z was 2.5 weeks..............lucky

I'm sorry man but that's a little obsessive. I do know where you're coming from. I too am excited to get mine. I'm ordering it this weekend. But why don't you try to find something to better occupy your time instead, like obsessing over women. If you do that successfully and often enough, your Z will be at your doorstep in no time. On top of that, you would have had a good time.

Another idea. Do you own property? If you do, try and find something around the house to do. Come up with a project to occupy your time. Believe me, having idle hands is like watching time fly by....not fun.

keep busy...is the key

time flys by when you are doing something

The weather is just starting to turn here in Portland... sun is shining a little more... it's making me wish my Z were here

C'MON APRIL!!!!

Where did you a buy a key cover at?

The JDM 370z Collection

Purchased from an ebay retailer ralliart3000gt... the 370z stuff wasnt in their online store, but they have them in stock...

3SeventyZ · 02-19-2009, 03:05 PM

It'll be worth the wait.

m4a1mustang · 02-19-2009, 03:08 PM

I am being responsible, so I have to wait about 90 days before I buy.

My wife went thru the same deal when she ordered her 335.. Even though her profession keeps her really busy. In her spare time she would read every single tidbit of info that was out there (it was 1st yr, so not a whole lot of reviews etc were out yet). It was a long 2 months.

Early congrats

I know how you feel. Still lucky you I can't buy anything till summer because of the Boeing layoffs I think it is around 10,000 people. Just keep busy make a pond.

The Weapon · 02-20-2009, 12:00 AM

I bet you guys don't end up waiting the full 90-120 days. I purchased mine Jan 8th I think and was told i would get it April 1st. As of today mine is scheduled to come in Next week.

It has been nice not having a car payment.

That is smart. Better to avoid situations that can put you in financial trouble.
