The couple days before your Z

CDepp · 12-15-2012, 07:39 AM

What did you do?

Me: I'm sitting here biting fingernails, annoying my fiance, drooling over the car galleries here, trying to nap time away, etc. Anything to make time pass faster. It's only two days away, but DAMN that's like a child waiting in anticipation for Christmas morning to open presents he's been scoping in the parent's closet for weeks!

I need advice. Let me know I'm not the only person who was on the edge of insanity a day or two before owning their first Z. How did you deal with it?

Best advice gets rep points.

Hahaha! I would, but I'm buying from forum member here and he lives 500+ miles away. (Yes, his/soon-to-be-my Z is worth that distance)

You could try to think about something else?? lol... I had to drive 600 miles to get mine from the dealer. They were the only ones that had the Z that I wanted with the options. Probably the longest drive ever, but the drive home was awesome!!

USMCASA · 12-15-2012, 08:03 AM

went to trade in my charger at the dealer on a whim, was pre approved from my credit union on the loan but didn't have the check. dealer gave me an awesome deal and told me i could take the Z home that night even with no check from the credit union. i waited till the next day to pick her up. i was worthless at work because i was looking at all the pics and reviews about it. i even knew exactly how it would sound from watching all the google vids on it and the top gear review of it where they raced it against a bmw z4 in the rain

Engage in the only thing that's more exciting than Z driving (maybe)---you know what I mean

Congrats OP! And you already did what's the best to deal with the situation - come onto this forum and share the anxiety and excitement with us.

Also yes you are not the only one here. What I did was got onto playstation using 370z make one lap after another so that I was not only looking at my future car but also "driving/racing" it in advance. Time passed pretty fast this way.

Or you can start your mod list now.

Thanks. My mod list is well under way with budgeting and timetables for each install. Clear bra and tint already scheduled for later this coming week. January getting with 180Custom for headlamps. February exhaust (Invidia rolled titanium cat-back) and intake (Stillen G3). March springs and spacers. April Rims. May install for suspension and if budget allows extra - sway bars. The list is long.

Haha seems like you already did your homework. Nice list!

Go rent one and drive it around for a few days then the transfer will be very easy.

JungleZ · 12-15-2012, 09:20 AM

The day before i got my z I almost knocked out the finance manager of Nissan. Long story..

gplw · 12-15-2012, 09:22 AM

i know EXACTLY how you feel (only very slightly worse). I pick up my new 2013 on the 20th. Yesterday I saw it for the first time at the dealers and took a few shots. Hope you enjoy yours!

Ahem... (shameless attempt to get a rep point)

If you haven't got one, go and buy a PS3 (only a fraction of what your new car is costing you so just explain to the fiance it's part of the overall cost of 370Z ownership), buy GranTurismo 5, then earn some points and buy the Nissan Fairlady (Japan's 370Z of course) and kill time by racing it round tracks all over the world - much better way to kill time while waiting than napping! Also, you can mod it with intakes, exhaust etc.

(If you have an XBOX you could get Forza but I have that too and GT5 is better)
