Beautiful car!

Why the sound deadening in the trunk? Do you have a sound system?

Nope - i just usually add SD to all my cars. And even tho the top is down a lot - i wanted it quieter when it's up. Should have been a three-ply top.

Also - this is the first car I have ever had that has no rear fender liners. I usually stick SD in there too...but to my surprise we have none.

I have not done under and behind the seats - tried but was too lazy to rip it all out. When you move the seats forward and tap on the carpet behind them..you get the lovely think of carpet on metal. No insulation there at all. LOL

Different tires helped enormously.

Sad. I just found out I might be moving...Seattle or Dallas. So I'm putting her up for sale just in case. Been fun... :(

For Sale? WTF, you can drive a Z in Texas. Works real good. Just beware of Texas Highway Patrol, Officer Bennitt in east Tx, he seems to like Z's.
Cheers

I'm with TexasChuck on this one. Last time I was through there, Texas had roads. It's not like you said you were coming to Indiana, where the winter snow can make driving a Z a challenge, and put the bike on the center stand for four months a year. Or up to New Brunswick where you'd have to put it in storage half the year.

I mean, we do what we feel we must, of course, but that seems a bit extreme from here.

It is more likely Seattle at this point...Dallas is a second option. If Dallas - prob keep it as a 3rd car, but with my family there reporting all the ice and snow.... If it is Seattle...time for something AWD.

And yes...I'm from TX originally so I know what you mean about the popo... ;)

I took my pearl white 2012 in for 2nd oil change today and was looking at a purty dark blue convertible touring. Really nice car but the sticker price is $51K :eek:

That's about right for the Roadster. And the dealers are not terribly inclined to cut any slack. I got 3500 off of mine. It was pretty much loaded - Touring, Sport, navigation, illuminated kick plates, splash guards, carpeted floor mats, carpeted trunk mat. I wanted it in Solid Red, so they had to search for it. I was surprised they knocked anything off the price at all. Then there was loan insurance, loan disability insurance, gap insurance. By the time the papers got signed it was ten more than what the sticker said.

370Zs are pretty rare, and the Roadsters are even more rare. Solid Red 370Z Roadsters seem rarer still. I just treat it as a testament to the fact that exclusivity has its price.

My wife and I took a trip to Nova Scotia. One of the little towns along our way was having a parade. We got stopped so the parade could pull onto the main road, and when we got to go again we were just tagged onto the end of the parade. We waved. They waved. People took pictures of us as my wife took pictures of them. It seemed nobody knew we weren't part of the parade. Pretty cool, really.

Turns out exclusivity has its benefits too. :tup:

There's a pretty simple and unavoidable fact of life: You gotta do what you gotta do. Like most simple things, it gets pretty complicated at times. Sill, you gotta do...
