I'm liking the car more and more. There is a definite bond happening and I think it's to do with weather. There has been a lot of rain in LA, and the 370z has taken me safely through it despite crazy LA drivers who often seem like they want to cause accidents. It's not quite the same feeling as hydroplaning on a busy freeway between semis in a roadster with the fat rain slamming the soft top, but I think successfully navigating adverse weather always brings you that little closer to your vehicle.

At work, every time I go to the kitchen, I pass by a window and look out and admire it. I like the fangs. They anthropomorphize the car and give it character. The other day it hailed all over it while I looked out feeling really sorry for it. It looked pretty pissed. Hope that paintwork held up.

I'm almost at the point where the car has 'melted away' and muscle memory has kicked in, finally breaking me remembering where everything was on my previous car.
I feel sad for you, as buying a new Z is a large purchase for anyone and buyer's remorse is painful. I also thoroughly studied the market before purchase and narrowed my alternatives down to the Z and the Audi TT. But I had far less confidence in the reliability of the Audi and just got a good, secure, safe feeling when I envisioned myself owning the Z because it's a Japanese made Nissan. But I also absolutely loved the way she looked and drove and I was smitten. I'm in love with her and I visit her each day I don't drive her (because of this terrible PA weather) and enjoy waxing and polishing and listening to her play my music as I shine away. It is all a wonderful feeling. Give it 6 months and a summer and I think things will be fine. If not, life's short. Sell the Z to someone who will truly enjoy her and get yourself a ride that puts a big grin on your face each time you see her---like my little red Z does for me!
