TBH it was live at first site. The Monterey Blue Pearl is eye candy to be modest. The drive and sound of that VQ are what sold me. But that color tho... ugh amazing.

Id have to agree this time around. Got it for a stupid low price too. Almost too good to be true.

The only bummer is, like the rest of us northern folks, the driving season is almost over.
Also as it gets colder, check and make sure what kinda of tires you're running .... don't want to be running summer tires as temps drop below 40*F

No worries on the tire situation I don't drive the Z when it's 40 degrees. i actually just got it out the other day. Ahhh i missed that high revving VQ scream.

2009 was a problem for steering lock failure and excessive oil consumption. There are plenty of threads here addressing both if you should have a problem.

One is an easy fix, the other, not so much! Hopefully you won’t have issues with either.

Thanks for the heads up. I have heard of the steering lock issues. and experienced the oil consumption is kinda crazy.

I will be putting my Z into hibernation very soon (dammit!) but next spring I get to drive a "new" car once again.
I'm in Burnsville and find the Minnesota Z owners don't participate much on this site.
You'll find the resources here to be invaluable, not to mention the regular site members to be very knowledgeable and helpful, but do attempt some site research first, should you have questions.

Hope to meet up with you in the not to distant future.

Yes there aren't many Z owners up here. I actually only personally seen another 370 once since I got mine and u travel 100 miles a day for work. That being said, are there events that Z owners (or cars in general) that have meets thru out the summer? I remember seeing that FB has get together amongst group members but never really looked into it?

Since ZDayZ has been cancelled. Bunch of us are trying to do a meet sometime in the summer. Might be in Michigan at madwi place.

I definitely think he should host it. I'll drive up and bring a bunch of parts to install

Keeping in mind the shelter in place rules, it's doubtful most shows/meets will be taking place for a while:
A couple that come to mind ...
- Mncandc.com is usually good for a visit 1x/summer and is held at Mystic Lake Casino.

- Saturday nights 2x/month Hastings Cruise-in.

If you've never been, take a drive along the bluffs of the Mississippi/Wisconsin side from Hastings/Prescott to Pepin. The views across the river are amazing and there are a few good spots to stop/stretch/eat and have a pop, beer, wine. But, while the drive along Wisc 35 is quite beautiful, turning off Wisc 35 and trying to get lost in the farm country away from the river, on top of the bluffs, can be a good timetoo. (Do be mindful of the locals and farm equipment on some roads at times!)

Cheers!

WI 35 and the attendant farm roads are a slice of heaven.

We're going to turn your garage into a motel for a weekend.

Too far for me but I'd love to go to a Z meet closer to me in the Mid-Atlantic (I live in Southern Maryland/College Park). What sucks is I was planning on going to my first ZDayZ this year
