Default I'm bouncing off the walls

I need serious help!

My Z is due next week, and i ordered it 6 months ago, back then it was exciting but i was OK, but now it's a whole different situation, i can't stop thinking about it, Damn you guys for telling me all these great things about the Z, now i can't wait and i have this reoccuring dream that i drive my Z off the dealer lot and i get hit by a huge truck

I even ordered my first mod on Performance Nissan: Nismo floor mats

Somebody got some tips for me how to make it through this week? LMAO

I prefer the stock floormats actually ! I am out of town and working my car deal over the phone. I get to go get it friday if all goes well and I haven't been able to sleep for the last 3 nights. I am excited too....man waiting 6mnths is a long time. I opted to not get the sunset because of a 2 month wait, instead I am taking a SilverStone. You got the anniversary edition, nice! I wish I could afford it. Actually its probably better that I can't. What color you getting?

Well it is only available over here in Super Yellow, and Black, since i did not like the Yellow that much i decided Black was my thing

But the price difference is minimal... the normal 350Z (I think it's a touring over there with you guys) is 50K in euro, and the GT4 was 51.250 and for that money i have a very special edition since there are only 27 produced that i know of

Go easy on the gas, and learn your ride. Every vehicle has it's own personality and limits. Enjoy and be careful.

1. start checking around your area for a good tint shop
2. order a JWT popcharger and a shorty antenna
3. clean out your garage if you have one
4. plan out some nice road trips
5. make a check list of what to inspect before you drive your sweetZ off the lot

good luck!

I'm in the same boat almost. I ordered an 05 track in December and its scheduled to be here April 18th. I call the dealer every 2 weeks on monday just to make sure they remember me.LOL But since waiting all this time I have gone a little overboard with the part ordering. Wheels,sway,headunit,harnessbar,and my exhaust has been ordered. I'm a little anxious to say the least.

Ordered Nov. 20th, due April 2nd.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a garage full of stuff for their Z before they get it!

p.s. I've been going nuts since mid-January, and my kids are more interested in me getting the car than I am -- even though the oldest isn't even going to be able to drive for at least 8 years!

Aside from tinting her and adding the clearbra, I don't plan on modding the Z until next year.

Very good advice, i've driven other fast cars, but i totally agree with you that every fast car has his own personality, and i will not underestimate that fact

Just wait until you drive it on the autobahn. There is just something about driving 120mph with the top down to work.

I keep a comb in my office desk now....

I got the coupe

Not going to pay another 7 grand on top of the (already) high price... and i just dont think the soft top looks nice while it's up, and since i live in holland, that probably will be 90% of the time, so i decided a coupe was the way to go...

BTW I used to drive the autobahn with a E 320 Benz, so i kinda know that feeling

i believe it will be a completely different feeling from going 120+ in an e320 and a 350z... i mean i know its a big difference from when I used to drive really fast in my parents 740 to the 350z...
