Anyone using their 370Z as a Camper?

FricFrac · 05-31-2009, 01:07 AM

I haven't yet but I'm really tempted to sleep in my car. Is it wrong to want to spend all my time in my car? Has anyone started a support group for addicted 370Z owners? This car is amazing. The performance is fantastic and the stying of the car are well... I just love how it looks. I love how they've integrated the looks of the 240Z but didn't try to make it look like an updated version like all the other retro cars out ther. My wife thought I was crazy buying a car I hadn't driven or even sat in.

I remember when I got my celica I wanted to sleep in it cause I was in love with it that much, but still my bed was calling and the car was waiting.

The first night when i brought mine home about 11:30 or so i had to go to the garage and turn the light on to see if i actually had it. Last night i was riding shotgun to a friend i let drive the z and was messing aroung with the controls, turned on the heated seats and man they felt pretty good. My back is screwed up so a little at home heat therapy would of done good.

When i got mine the first few days all i did was drive, drive , drive.

i don't think i can't get up after sleeping in this car. my back would be messed up and i'm only 24!!!!

I don't drive mine daily but I will pop the garage door open and just check on it every day.

Or a bad one:

Hehe the first night I was talking to my car (OK so it was actually the voice training for the voice recognition). My wife kept coming out to talk to me. So the third time she got into the car she says "you do realize the rest of us live in the house right?"

CBRich I don't recall that option... nicest Mags I've ever seen on a camper though

LoL. Priceless

FricFrac · 05-31-2009, 07:52 PM

Lol - my wife wants to know if there is a color matched version of the camper

I can't wait for mine to arrive. The day I get it will be spent washing, claying, polishing, waxing and buffing it's curvaceous body. After that it will be hard to resist sleeping it the first night. FricFrac I know exactly how you feel. My wife feels the same way about cars, she's a car nut. I'm hoping we get our Z with the early June shipment. I can't take much more of this

FricFrac · 06-01-2009, 12:43 AM

I'll be ready to go for a cruise when you get 'er.... I'll bring the marshmallows too ;P
