Wink What was the weather when U picked up Z?

Well looks like it will rain Monday, that is when I pick up my Z. Hopefully it will just pass by quick. What was your experience when picking up your Z?

Nice track model . Awww man, I envy your good weather. I have to wash up my car as soon as the weather gets better. Living in the NE kinda sucks that way.

Overcast on way to pick up the car, a few drops fell on windshield of my truck halfway there. While inside the dealer it came a flood. Thunder and lightning. The dealer was doing the workup on computer and lightning caused the power to go out for a second, wiping out everything , had to start over. I was thinking of leaving the car there until it stopped but I couldn't do that. Drove off in pouring rain , the salesman insisted on going with me to fillup. Of couse he knew less than I did about lights, wipers , rear wiper. While I was waiting for him to fill it , I was playing with stalks trying figure everything out. Considered reading owners manual for a second, nah. The whole time it was raining so hard I could hardly see. Went home, picked up wife drove around in the wet stuff half the night, it was filthy when I got home. I washed , it rained, I washed , it rained everyday for a week.
There goes never driven in the rain.

Oh man what luck. Well good to hear you got the Z safe and sound. You would think by the time you get the car the weather would let up a bit. Ahh, cruel mother nature, she is as predictable as the Lotto.

It was the PERFECT day when I picked up my Z. Who cared what the weather was like. My Z was here.

True, but it's just that much better with great weather.

Dark. Night time pickup.

Has rained or been overcast most days since I picked up (10/23).

I've had one real sunny day to enjoy the paint job on my brickyard. Looks great though.

Ooh, Ooh, I can answer what one...

It snowed all last week. It finally has cleared up. I am hoping to get my Z by Friday.

Normally, I wouldn't care about weather, but snow/ice puts a kink in a 300hp rear-wheel drive sports car.

I was so excited when I picked it up... so I don't really remember. But I know it wasn't raining or anything. It might have been sunn? yeah... I think it was sunny.

Picked my baby up today. Rainy (not hard rain) and it was in the evening. Dark and cold, but I couldn't have been any happier with my baby.

Hey ToddLuc, hope you do pick her up on Friday, and hope the weather is nice too.

Thank you SandMan. I am constantly watching nissanusa.com for my VIN to appear at the dealership.

Congratulations on your new Z!

All I can say is rain, rain, and more rain. They finished the PDI except for the State Inspection. Could not do the brake test till it stopped raining.
