7 hours to go and can't sleep :D

Couldn't sleep on the flight to LA and can't now either. I'm picking her up at 9AM. Mostly excited but a little scared just because its my biggest cash purchase

Default 7 hours to go and can't sleep :D

Couldn't sleep on the flight to LA and can't now either. I'm picking her up at 9AM. Mostly excited but a little scared just because its my biggest cash purchase I will be making ever and won't be another big purchase like this for a while. At 26 I've basically saved my whole life for this car so it's a little nerve wrecking. I've owed the banks on previous cars and I just like the feeling of being debt free

Just a little introduction to my new 370z friends I've been a Z owner since 07, with a small pause in 08-09 when I went to my Evo 9MR and then back to a Z again, in that time I briefly moderated for the my350z forum although no longer due to my crazy work schedule. And definitely can't wait to be modding the new Z

07-08

Wait... I'm just waking up here and a little groggy but do I understand you're flying from NY to LA just to buy a car?

I would have traded you my Z for your MR (not in a heartbeat, but I could have). And I'm in NY as well, save you a plane ticket.

I drove from Dallas, and 0 issues...


OP, I hope you have the touring package... Or else your back will likely break...


And buy LOADS of blue painters tape...

Do the front of the whole car and the the first 4-6 inches of the leading edge of the roof



(Oh, and I'm planning to go from LA to Dallas to Kansas City, MO, and back, lol

Things didn't work out so still no Z for me - still looking around but I'm open to a 350z Nismo or a 370z Nismo if I can find one for a good price.

It's all good though I'm still going to spend 2-3 weeks with friends and if a car pops up in the West coast I can still take it back!
