From Amarillo Texas back to Palm Beach Florida (My Z Purchase!) ::Pic Heavy!!!

theBigChanges · 04-06-2012, 09:07 AM

Ouch Niche79!! I was advised taxes in Palm beach county is 6.5% but they cap the .5 portion at a maximum of $200 ( I don't know why). So it's 6% plus $200 at max. I have to write that check out this month too

This was a must color combination for me pauly! I agree and thank you !

This is awesome. A trip to remember woth your bro. Im in the middle of a 2000 mile road trip right now with my z, but unfortunately the wife couldnt make it so no pics.

That's awesome TheChidz!

BTW nice pictures of your Monterey Blue Z. Is that New york?

And do you mind if I ask from where to where are you traveling on your roadtrip?

Great write up & pictures!!

(Amarillo? We know you were desperate to find that ONE car then.. no one goes there cuz they want to)

Haha . It was definately "God's country" . I'm from a city-type area like Houston sooo it was a lot of "empty" areas. However all throughout Texas starting from Houston (my flight connection), Amarillo to Dallas the people are soo much nicer than Floridans! I was suprised.

And yes! I had to have that exact color combo or not buy the car at all!

nmjaxx9 · 04-06-2012, 01:46 PM

nice pics and road trip man. I dont really see the Z as a road trip kind of car, (maybe because the highway noise/ ride) but it seems you had a good time.

Welcome and congrats!.

LakeShow · 04-06-2012, 01:52 PM

That's a cool trip. Nice you took some pics and it will be always remembered. Love that combo btw.

jennyt71 · 04-06-2012, 01:53 PM

I lived in Lubbock for 10+ years & loved it. But I didn't go to Amarillo unless I was passing through. LOL. Beautiful car! Great choice!

Streetlife · 04-06-2012, 01:53 PM

Nice pics and story. Enjoy her, congratulations!

There should be a road trip thread if there isn't one already. It was fun to follow your trip in the Z. I was re-living my experience, flying to NW Florida and driving back to Boston. I opted to sleep in the car, and save the $50 for my first mod, worst decision ever.

Personally I feel the Z isn't that bad for a road trip car (maybe not across country) , however not being able to recline all the way back as a passenger sucks for sleeping purposes. The road noise isn't that bad. However my last vehicle was an Lexus IS300 (my brother now drives it) and I have to admit it is way more quiet and comfy.

THANKS JennyT , Lake Show and STREET life!!

This roadtrip was especially fun because I was learning everything in the car anyhow, being that I was trapped in that thing for long hours! I'm currently sitting in an office with a dress shirt and tie on.. while typing this and now am itching to drive up somehwhere hilly/ with mountains next!!---> another roadtrip! But damn I couldn't sleep in the Z for a night let alone a few hours. Sorry about that one

Congrats on the acquisition man! I did the same exact thing as you, except I got my Z in Rochester, NY, and I did the drive by myself

It was still fun though, and it's a great time to get acquainted with the car! Enjoy it! Are you planning to mod at all?
