This email was sent to me on 7.29.10 (same day my dad was admitted to the hospital) from Nissan USA to let you guys know about the ZCON 2010. I am very sorry to not post this on time . I hope you guys had a great time at the convention and feel free to post your pictures in this thread (or in our dedicated ZCON 2010 section).

- If you’ll be attending, and would like to bring some questions from your community to have answered by any of the above, please let me know and we can work to arrange some time for you to speak with them

- 40th Anniversary 370Z cars on-site


It should be a great event for everyone involved as we celebrate this milestone anniversary for our most beloved car. If any of your members are attending, we’d love to see their photos/videos from the event! Please encourage your members to post them to Facebook.com/Nissan and/or send them to us on Twitter at Twitter.com/NissanNews.

My colleague Jessica Reed will be on site at the event this weekend, and she’d be happy to send along pictures from the event to share with your members if you’re interested.
