New in town (Ontario) :)
Just want to say hello to everyone!
I'm from Richmond Hill, Ontario. Just picked up my Z about a month ago. Only seen about 5 in total on the road and was wondering if there are any Z drivers here who lives in the GTA? Cheers! |

Hi Sibze!
I'm so relieved to see active Z drivers on this forum from Ontario! It's so lonely up in Richmond Hill area. I've only seen two within my area. One was Magnetic Black like mine and another was Prussian Blue like yours. But I guess that's what makes driving a Z special - at least in my area, haha! |

Haha no problem, Sibze! I had to visit the Nissan.ca site to figure out what the names were for colours!
Looking forward to seeing you cruise next to me, DJSquall! Hopefully my Z won't feel so lonely anymore! lol |

Haha yeah I was cruising in the murano, turns out this bad girl can squeal on a corner! The plans to get the Z are laid out for the end of June, but I may go get it at the end of may. Currently bound by contracts and I kinda don't want to waste my money just to get the car earlier. Plus the outside/interior colour combo is custom (black cherry w/ tan/black interior) so I'm trying to take care of that ahead of time.
But nonetheless, once the sun goes down, and a rocket flies by in a plume of white smoke with screeching tires.... Well that's probably me haha! Edit: what colour is your Z btw? |

I'll be sure to look and listen for a 'plume of white smoke with screeching tires' in June then! Should be hard to miss! lol
I'm excited for you, DJSquall! Sounds like it's gonna be a slick Z! Never seen a Black cherry on the road before. I drive a Magnetic Black Z with Black Interior It's probably too soon, but do you plan on tracking your Z once you have it all broken in? |

Yep, my buddy is a racer and the car genius I go to I'm a complete car nub haha! I will probably take a course or two before hitting the track, I don't want to get myself killed now! So far I've only had the guts to go up to 140k in the murano on the 401, a single ticket to me (I'm 22) means high insurance and bye bye dream car! So o can't wait to see what it's like on a real racetrack.
While on the streets, taking hard corners and launching at a stop sign/street light satisfies me enough haha. (I hope that's not considered reckless driving.. When I see a cop I'm automatically 5k under limit JUST IN CASE) And oh man, my excitement cannot be described in words. The Z is going to be my first car, and right now I'm working 12 hour days/6 days a week to save up as much extra cash as possible. I ALWAYS have it on my mind.. Even when I sleep or work. I just can't wait. |

Oh I know exactly what you mean lol... I'm 23, car insurance is surprisingly good for me. Just a little over 200/month and I'm the primary driver. I think it's cheap mostly because of my location though. I live by Yonge/Stouffeville rd. The Z is my first car too. I'm working 38 hours a week.
I picked up my Z never having test driven it before and it just surpassed all of my expectations. Have you had the opportunity to test drive it before? |

Haven't got a chance yet, but I hope to do so when we go meet with a sales rep.
And my insurance is going to be about $200/month as a secondary driver, mostly due to the fact that I got my G2 license a month ago. Never really needed it.... And lol ur lucky u only work 38/week. My standard is 45-50 hours. Right now I'm pushing 70. I do heating and air, so we work a little bit longer Youre really close lol, I'm in the dufferin/langstaff area but were planning on moving very soon. I think towards bayview/16th |

Sweet, a Z buddy who lives close by!
I'm a car noob myself, so I have much to learn about the Z. I've been to Shannonville and Dunville race track once each in a Mini Cooper. That was really fun. As far as mechanics go, I know very little about cars. Since this is the very first car I own, I feel like I need to know more. Looking forward to meeting up with you once you get your Z I have so many questions about the car but have nobody else to ask/talk about it. |

Yeah all I know about cars it take em back for maintenance, get winter tires, and.. Well the mechanic knows the rest!
By the way, I've been hearing that the mini Cooper it's super fun to drive, how did you like yours? |
