Bought my Z last night, but....

Jones Boy · 12-01-2009, 11:27 PM

So, I came in here to cry for a bit. I bought my Z last night (11/30) around 7:30 at night. I love it, and it looks fantastic. Bought a Monterey Blue Sport/Tour with Nav and a 6mt. Anyways, I'm betting I'm the only person that's purchased there Z and not driven it for over 24 hours.

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.

Man, congratZ...and I'm very sorry for your unfortunates...hehehe...I'd go out to the garage and start the engine and just sit in the driver's seat for a little bit if I were you..hehehe....when I bought my Z, I drove it 500 miles the first day....then again, I picked it up 500 miles away from home..heheh....loved every bit of the drive...

congrats.

nono, if you're not going to drive it for more than 15min, dont start the car.

(dont want moisture buildup in the midpipe...)

Thanks for the congrats. I keep walking out into the garage to gawk at it. I guess my daughter went out in the garage this morning after I left for work. She is three. My wife said she said it was beautiful and wanted to know where her car seat was going to go.

I'm consoling myself by reading manuals.

hahaha, that's cute. i got two little ones myself and they too were wondering when they were going to be taken out for a ride.

so i showed them a dvd (i have an aftermarket HU in there) and they seem to be satisfied now.

Congrats...

Congrats - I can feel your pain. I bought my Z and drove her home, and put her in the garage. Woke up the next morning like a kid on x-mas waiting to drive the long way to work - only to find a large pool of power steering fluid on the garage floor (nearly slipped on the nasty stuff). Drove it right back to the dealer. Turns out they didn't crush a crush washer at the factory, (I picked up the car with 3 miles on it) and no one noticed.

so yes, I can feel your pain - getting a new toy and not being able to unwrap it- the break in period only makes it worse

grats have fun with your Z

John Bradley · 12-02-2009, 11:27 AM

Congrats

Congratulations on your new Z.

Be careful drive it in the SNOW if you haven't put Blizzaks on it already!

elmz · 12-02-2009, 01:26 PM

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

Jones Boy · 12-02-2009, 01:48 PM

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?

WhiskeyHotel · 12-02-2009, 02:23 PM

They are winter tires - congrats on your Z.
