To what depths did you travel for your Z

Frankly, the monthly car payment and surrendering my beloved project car was quite enough.

I did see the sign for Scranton, PA. I was so surprised that it was an actual town and not just some made up place from The Office. If I made a detour, that would have been it.

Yeah, PA snow is not fun in a Z. Just thought I'd throw the CI thing out there.

Funny re: comments about Scranton. No one from outside the area ever heard of the place until The Office came along.

Their "on location shots" always have sunshine and palm trees in the background. Proof that they are NOT in Scranton!

I was lucky that the snow wasn't sticking to the ground or else I would have really been screwed. Also it wasn't snowing in MD, just PA and DE.

I was so tempted to take the Scranton exit and search for the Dunder Mifflin building.

drove a back breaking 25 miles to get my Z. And I didnt drive it myself home. Told my brother to pick it up =)

Picked mine up on the southern coast of South Carolina. I live in Minneapolis. I got a good deal, and I fly for free, so I basically got a nice road trip out of the deal..

I lucked out. I absolutely had to get a Montery Blue 370z with sports package and manual transmission (this was a hard to find combination). I was lucky as I ended up getting it at Riverside, CA (about 20 miles away).

When my dad got his Daytona Blue 350z (also had similar requirements, manual transmission, etc..) we drove all the way up to Northern California (350 miles or so one way) to get his 350Z, heh.
