Happens to be my birthday.
Got mine, new, in December of 2009. Even greater thrill for me than closing on our fist house.
Enjoy, but check the car over very carefully before you hand over the check. After I got home, one day and 225 miles later, I noticed a small ding that I'm sure happened during shipping and it was my responsibility.

Congrats! Love that interior color.

Lol! Mt. Tam took the words straight out of my mouth!

Thx gplw for the update-we are all excitedly impatiently waiting too

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.
