Congrats!

I lived in my Z for two days when I first got it.

I'd stop and pee somewhere, other than that drive thru's fed me and I slept in it as well.

I wasn't excited or anything

I DID STINK A BIT THOUGH

Edit - Noticed you are from NC

Score another one for the good guys.

Congrats! I hope the time flies by for ya! Once you get it, though, I'm sure you'll be 10 times more excited than you were when you found out it was in!

You headed to Sanford?

I can see what I can do to get off work. Sounds like fun.

I must warn you however, I might have to blow your doors in cause I'm half way through the break-in

You're following Nissan's breakin recommendations? Not over 4000 RPM for 1200 miles? That's great! We're going to have a real-world experiment!

We both have Track models and, after careful consideration and much research, I decided NOT to break my baby in gently. My breakin procedure is: Drive it from day one the way you want to drive it forever. I had mine to 6000 RPM before it had 100 miles on it and regularly since then (now about 500). It will be real interesting to see which car is faster at 5000 miles.

Don't be too sure about who's doors will be blown off!

BTW: we're going to Modern Nissan in Winston Salem. Watch out I-40!

Well Brian, to be truthful, I haven't exactly followed this break-in thing as religiously as I wanted to. It's just too difficult. The only reason I've been so gentle on the car is because of the fear that I will get another speeding ticket before my January court date. I plan to plead "Love then Lust", followed by total insanity.

But, I still think the experiment will be 95% valid as I've only been over 4000rpm on a few occasions, and never beyond 5700.
I also haven't been throwing the car around corners or braking too hard, again, except for a few occasions.
