Default WOWZERS!!!

Gotta thank you all for posting that the vehicle was there in the NNA parking lot. Went by after lunch and got to check it out. I just hope they didn't mine the drool spots that I dropped on the car!! BTW, I heard it call my name over and over again. Was it my imagination or did this happen to anyone else while seeing her for the 1st time.

I tried to be respectful and not touch it. It's not mine. The first one I touch will be the one that I ordered... (I have less than 2 months to save up a downpayment, eek!)

I checked this forum about noon at work and saw this thread and that someome said they saw the car around 10 AM. I figured what the heck, printed directions from the internet, jumped in my car and took off for the 50 minute drive to Herndon. I got there about 1:15 PM and drove all over the lot, but no Z. Bummer. I thought maybe it was gone for lunch so I went and grabbed something to eat and drove past on my way back. I was already going to be gone 2.5 hours from work so I didn't have much time. When I got back there the Z was back and parked in the lot

I got out and looked at it for a while. I was the only person there. Then a Nissan guy came out and asked my if I liked it (dumb question) and talked with me for a while. He was going to let me in it but then didn't have the keys. He said it was a press car and The Washington Post was going to be picking it up.

I have a few comments about the car after seeing it in person:

- The blue does look nice
- The car is much wider than I thought
- The car looks very heavy
- The are more edges on the car, like the front fenders, than was apparent from the pictures.
- There is virtually no cargos space. It looks much worse than my wosrt fears.

Not sure if you're implying that I was rubbing all over it or not. Of course, I was only being sarcastic about the drool.

However, the one part I actually did feel was the chrome door handle to see exactly if it was going to a bear to open during the summer time in extreme heat. Surprisingly, it wasn't and the temperature was in the mid 80s, BUT the feel could get warmer/hotter during higher temps.

For people that we are apparently bothering and keeping from their work, they seem very accomodating and nice! Sounds like they are going out of their way for us, at least someone is!

Hell I touched it. The guy flipped me the keys and I started it, popped the hood and made her purr like the cat that she is. I played with the stereo , opened every compartment and tried all the bells and whistles. I ordered mine May 13th and figure I will not see it until the first of October. This sample helps the longing.There is no cargo space( maybe enough for two overnight bags), but this is a beautiful ride.
