I pick her up at 9:30am Thursday 20th December, so about 53 hours from now. Um, no, make that 16 hou... oops, 7 hours. Crap! Should have said 12 hours. Wait a sec, I think it's... Forget it, clearly I get stupid when I'm anxiously waiting for a toy. I pick it up 9:30 am tomorrow

Congrats! Love that interior color.

Just to add, make sure they do a good job on the clean up. I got mine home and a day or so later noticed what looked like scratches all over it that I had not noticed before. I was livid. Turns out though, it was adhesive residue from the plastic that covered the car for shipping. It looked clean when I picked it up, but those tiny lines of the residue attracted dust and looked like scratches. I spent a couple hours cleaning the whole car because and got it all off. If they did not do it right the first time, I was not taking it back for them to screw something else up.

Congrats, and enjoy it!

Well, at first I thought "man, that's a lot of money for one day's use" but then I thought what the hell, the world's ending anyway!

Leaving for the dealership now. The next time I post in this forum it will be as a 370Z owner

Mt Tam I am · 12-20-2012, 09:54 AM

I'm on the west coast so you must have it now. Congratulations and thanks for keeping us in the loop on your purchase.

TheGreatOne · 12-20-2012, 09:58 AM

Woot woot, must be signing final paperwork, on the drive home or standing and staring at it in the driveway

gplw · 12-20-2012, 07:24 PM

So I picked her up this morning! Thanx for all the well wishes guys, I am absolutely thrilled with this car. I wouldn't even trade it for a 360 Modena

And I even like the winter rims (see pic below) that replaced the stock sport ones!

As I've joined the club and I'm now an actual 370Z owner, I'm going to start a thread with pics in the new owner section - woohoo!

Congrats, I would advise you to put tire locks on those rims. Just a thought.

kfull · 12-20-2012, 09:17 PM

Good call. Well, I had the dealer install the new rims on the car before I picked it up. Drove the car away and then later in the afternoon I noticed no locks on the wheels, so I called the dealer and he checked with their service department and they said the locks that came off the stock wheels can't fit back on. I would have thought it was the bolts coming through the wheels that are the deciding factor and since they're the same ones... on top of the fact that both wheels are OEM Nissan Rays... Planning to go back to the dealer today and get this sorted out.

Yes, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60, but no snow here either, so your guess is as good as mine.

Thanx again for all the good wishes guys.
