Default A New (Nissan) beginning

last september 2009, when the Philippines got hit by Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana), my Z got drowned in the flood. Got depressed for a few weeks considering that my house also got hit. Fast forward.... after almost a year, just moved in to a new house in an elevated area, the repairs in my Z are almost done. the shop told me the only thing left is the reprogramming of the keys and i may expect delivery next week.

yahooooo! in addition, my 2011 GTR is set to arrive also next week.. and my M6's set-up will be done by that time.

As told by thomas edison on perseverance "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time".

Damn even with a GTR and an M6, I'm glad the Z still has a special place in your garage... makes me value my Z more knowing that.

What was the exact damage on it? Did the interior get ruined or just the motor?
