Bought my Z last night, but....

Congrats on your new Z. I think we can all relate...I put over 1k miles the first week I got mine =).

Well, I've had a light schedule today so I've at least gotten to sit in it and play with the nav and radio. I'm debating on whether to take it out. It is so clean and pretty I don't want to find a puddle and get it dirty.

I'm guessing blizzaks (without googling yet) is some kind of heavy duty wax?

bro...get her as dirty as you can by driving her as much as you can right now, then clean her up and store her...according to what you said, you live in a snowy region. I'd take her out now and just have as much fun as you can, then give her a good bath and store her...remember, cars are made to get dirty...and when it's dirty, you clean them...so, take her out and get her feet wet...

Grats! Now change your "Drives" from a Chevy Tahoe to your Z

Good idea. It's done.

They are winter tires - congrats on your Z.

I had to drive my Tahoe for work this morning and got home way late tonight, and now it's supposed to rain and light snow tomorrow. Sniff sniff.

But it is awesome. I've been waiting 15 years almost for a sports car and I finally have one. I'm praying for sunshine tomorrow.

Im confused as to why alot of people think you cant drive this car in the rain or light snow. It will handle as well as any car in rain and snow. Take that car out right now and drive it, thats what its for, enjoy it. Ive drivien my Z in the rain and it handles very well in the rain and will do so in light snow too, as long as you know how to drive in snow. When it does get sunnier give her a good wipe down or do it in the garage.

Jones Boy · 12-02-2009, 09:12 PM

Well, I'm not saying you can't drive it in the snow or rain. I just don't want to have to detail the whole thing out after doing it. I live in central Oklahoma so we don't get much snow at all. I did take my daughter out in it this afternoon. Got the cars all moved around so they are all in the garage now. She said it was beautiful and awesome. I think she's pretty smart for being only 3 and having such great taste in automobiles.

Wife and I get a date night on Friday night so we are really looking forward to getting to take the car out.

carlos3366 · 12-03-2009, 06:37 PM

c'mon man, drive it like you mean it. the Z is good for any weather.

j.arnaldo · 12-04-2009, 12:22 PM

Enjoy it before the blizzards start, dude! Congrats'! I can enjoy my 350Z all year through, but the sun fades my paintjob (I live in a condo', so my beaZt sleeps outdoors 365 days a year!). There's just no perfect place on planet Earth!

LETSGOEERS06 · 12-04-2009, 12:42 PM

congrats man! good luck with it, and be safe!

PapoZalsa · 12-04-2009, 08:22 PM

I just got mine today and tomorrow is going to be 46ºF raining and probably some snow. So I feel your pain.

GETU1 · 12-04-2009, 10:17 PM

Congrats, man!! I got you beat, I waited 31 years for my Z.

Don't worry about the gawking. I bought my car in October and I still go out into the garage to gawk at it...every night... before I go to bed.

Your daughter is smart and has great taste.
