As some of you may know (from my post in the ordering forum), I almost bought a 370Z that was not my first choice in color. Well, Fly Yellow steered me towards a better dealer and they found my car:
Now, a little about myself. My uncle bought a yellow 240Z back in 1970. I always loved that car, and told him that I would buy it if he ever sold it. One of the earliest memories that I have is sitting behind the steering wheel of that car and pretending that I was driving it. He had the car for about 25 years, then it caught fire after a Sunday drive and was pretty much a total loss (I don't know the exact circumstance, other than it happened in the driveway after he went in the house and the car was already gone before the fire was extinguished). I was mad because I told him that if he ever sold it, I would buy it.
By the time I was ready to buy my first new car, it was 2002, and the Z's had vanished from the new automobile landscape. Out of everything I test drove, the Subaru Impreza WRX was the best car available. Talk about poor timing, Nissan released the 350Z the following year, and the following year, Subaru released the STi version of the WRX. I decided to keep my WRX for the time being, at least until it was paid off. I was ready to buy again in 2007, and started looking at the 350Z's. I ended up waiting a little longer, as I had to relocate to the west coast for a year, and I heard rumors of the new Z. I saw the 370Z in person at the Baltimore Auto Show, and upon seeing it, and sitting inside it, I got out and said "This is my next car." Sure enough, here I am. I bought the car on Friday and am still in a state of disbelief.
