First thing you did when you got your 370z
 

I am (scheduled) to take ownership of my black on black, sport & navi 6 speed 370z next week or the first week of August (yay!). What I'd like to know is ... what is the first thing you did when you got yours? This could be anything from burned through a tank of gas to wash & wax.

As well, I'd like to know if there is a things to check/verify when I go to pick it up, thanks!

Check for any dings/dents/etc. (Inside and outside)
Check electrical system
Check tire pressure

First thing I did was drive home and go to sleep, picked mine up Thursday evening. That weekend was giving it a good solid wash and detailing.

I drove around for about 50 mi, then went home and went to sleep

I put Stillen Gen 3 and Berk HFC's on

Tints & led's.

Wondered if the Speedo was broke. The car is so much fun, those miles add up quick. But I bought mine at a dealer 3 hours from home Blk/Gray 6MT Touring/Sport/Nav, so when I got home it was detail time. Then I pulled up a stool and sat in the garage staring at it for 2 hours.

Drove around all night. Got home, couldn't sleep...drove it some more.

drove home, put it on jackstands and pulled the calipers, powdercoated them, swapped springs and sways and had the wheels swapped over to the Nismo's that I bought from another member here and powdercoated.

Drove home and put the car cover on it and waited till I got my clearbra installed and windows tinted at the same time.

Drove like hell for about 175 miles, took pictures, drooled, watched people turn their heads as I passed...

I was so excited that I drove straight home, did several obscene things to my wife, took a nap and then put the first 50 miles on the odometer.

brought it home, picked up my girl...drove to the beach..and had some fun on the way there:tup:

drove home and sobered up.

:icon18:

you really cant do that in the z theres zero room.

I was DYING to test the SynchroRev Match system. Within 5 minutes of driving, I had the opportunity to do that. When I downshifted from 4th to 3rd, this was my facial expression --> :eek:! Well... lets just say, for the next three days, I downshifted EVERYWHERE ! :icon17:

Bet it took you forever to get anywhere! :p

Drove my girlfriend to Malibu and had dinner. (parked next to a new Bently)

Drove it home. Took pictures. Drove to friends houses unannounced to show them the new car. Drove around some more.

First thing I did was put a "LSU" tag frame (black with yellow "L-S-U") on the back.

God! I bet that looked hideous! :icon18: :bowrofl: jk bro

That is so awesome!^

I beg to differ, I'm well versed in car'a'sutra.

I wouldn't doubt it....imagine what he did in those 'vettes? :bowrofl:

Frost that is killer, good luck with the new Z, I pretty much went straight back home and put her in the garage, no mods yet.

:tiphat:

Thanks for the links & feedback all. I'm doing everything I can to keep my mind busy... she could be here as early as Wednesday!

That is the way to do it.:tup:

My girlfriend and I drove around the city, added about 50 miles.. (it was 11pm before we were able to drive the car from the dealer). After that we went home to bed! I somehow managed to sleep, woke up and felt like a kid on Christmas and opened the garage, drooled.. jumped in and drove around some more and broke necks of people lookin'. Good stuff.

Driving the daily almost full time now, Z's in the garage sleeping with about 5500 miles on the clock and it gets driven on my off days from work on short trips only for now.

Don't drive it that much now? Just the weekend ride now huh? I think I remember you saying you were getting a dd. I'm flying down to Jacksonville in October for a cruise, think you could shuttle me to the port in the Z? LOL :tup:

Well, as soon as I got home from the dealer:

Drove around a bit and played with the features, especially synchro-rev match, the voice control on the Navi, the XM radio, and control settings.
Went over to a friend's house to show off the car.
Drove more.
Went over to another friends' house to show off the car.
Drove even more.
Went out to dinner to celebrate.
Drove more.
Came home, stared at the Z for an hour or so.
Finally collapsed from exhaustion.

The whole time I should note that I didn't stop smiling. Even at dinner I was thinking of the Z and zoning out on the conversation.

I think Lone Wolf 75's day/evening would most likely be the closest match to what I envision myself doing. Though as the car will likely be ready mid-day, I have to squeeze in "going back to work" in there somewhere :shakes head:

ahh no way, i'll be taking off work for that!

I can almost guarantee that you will be unproductive when you go back to work. I ended up going to the dealer last Thursday, discussing the price that night, and walking out to "sleep on it." Also, the car was not at their dealer, it was 20 miles away, they were not able to get the car until Fri afternoon, and I wasn't doing anything until the next day. Needless to say, the 1/2 day I put in on Friday morning was one of my least productive days ever. I can only imagine what it will be like once you take delivery of the car and know that you cannot drive it for hours.

Thats nothing bro, I remember eatting at home and I made sure I was angeled perfectly so that I can see my z while eatting from the window. I still do that home and when I go out to eat sometimes. I love my baby boo. Always thinking about uuuuuu. :yum:
