I know the feeling well. I traded my 2008 Accord V6 6MT coupe back in April. The dealer sold it the first week of May. I haven't had anything fun to drive (besides the Civic commuter car) since.
AND, my wife also owns a 2008 Accord V6 coupe. Do you know how it feels to be driven around by her (she won't let me drive it!)?? (Sorry Honey) My 370 is due in mid to late July... another 6 to 7 weeks!! Oh well, grin and bear it. But I think my situation might be worse than yours... Quote:

Well, I just couldn't handle the wait! I could only hang in 1 month, then I bought one at the dealer that was 5K more than the one I ordered...but I LOVE IT!! I wonder if the car I ordered is even in yet....

....and now you remember what it was like being a kid just before Christmas I was going to order mine in but the guy I was going to order from didn't work there when I was ready to pull the trigger so I looked around and found the exact(ish) car I wanted. The three days I had to wait till I could go pick it up was like 1000x the agongy of waiting to get the car just before that....
We feel you pain bro - hold in there! It is SO worth the wait.... and the agony... |

Hey Matt,
I have 69 days to go on mine, and what I have been doing is planning on the mods carefully (if you're going to mod anything), learning about the pros and cons of all the options, and studying the owner's manual and DIYs posted here. The more you learn now, the more you'll be able to hit the ground running when you finally get it! |

i traded my 2006 350Z 5 weeks ago, and have been driving a 1997 jeep cherokee since. the jeep is in rough shape, so it has to be driven slowly and carefully... still think your situation is worse? lol i'd say we're about even! but at the end of the day, this is a problem MANY people would love to have: waiting for an incredible vehicle!!! |

I can only imagine the agony. I have no patience. When I was ready I searched the internet and found one close enough to what I was looking for. I guess I was lucky. Hold on a while longer. It will be worth it.

Matt, you hit the nail on the head. I'm waiting for delivery as well, and you described exactly how I feel. Checking the forum every day, I even have the pics from Nissans press release of my car (PG with Persimmon) in my office. Just to remind myself what I am working for :-) But sorry, no tips on how to pass the time until the big day is there...

I'm the same boat bro. Placed the order May 15th and don't know when it will come. I think it is bothering my wife even more. She is always watching youtube vids of the Z. It will sure be sweet when it finally arrives.

what's cool about this agony is it allows grown men and women to relive the excitement of xmas and birthdays!!
nevertheless, this is still agony!!!! i signed april 27th, so i still have at least 5-6 weeks to go. i HATE driving my slow *** jeep cherokee in the spring/summer. i'm sure the day my Z arrives will be one the funnest days of my life!!!! i've taken the advice of these posts and made some pre-arrival preperations: i arranged my clear bra and tint installation, bought a couple of black "Z" license plate holders, and picked up the illuminated kick plates on ebay (they're not an option in canada). nothing else to do now but wait...
