Pix would help to prove your case. There are lots and lots of these driving around the country, so this is certainly not one of two in existence. Tell (show) us more and we'll get excited for you.

THis is like my 2nd post. But anyways, My dad works for Nissan North America and last night he brought home the new 350Z !! One of only 2 in the country and it has a VIN number of 0000000041 !! I took it out for a spin. It has a really powerful 3.5 litre V6 with 280hp that feels like 400. Coupled with the 6speed short throw shifter, the car is a real porsche boxter killing machine.

You say "Look whats parked in my garage!" yet you post no pictures of proof.

Oh, no, seems the engineers lied about the 287hp, I guess we'll only get 280hp...

Wears a photo?

41 makes it pre-production. It may be one of two assigned to the regional office.

I believe pictures would be inline to verify your "story"

Make a statement like that and you better back it up with a pic or two.

Otherwise credibility is zero, zilch, nein...you get the point!

Warning signs of BS:
1. They've never posted, but....this news was so worthy that he shared this special occasion with us readers.
1. It's never them. It's always "my brother's aunt's cousin's boyfriend's dog first-removed" or something like that. In this case, it's "dad"
2. Attempts to authenticate with specific info, ie "1 of 2 in the country", VIN# is...
3. Throws around data to make themselves seem "in the know." "New 350Z" "powerful 3.5 litre V6" blah blah blah. No need to repeat what's known.
4. Vague.

I will be the first to apologize if I am mistaken.

Read AudioPat's account of his drive in the Z. It's got details, not just generalizations.

So how is it Cra Z? Z in your garage?

What do you tell your friends?

That's pretty cool... black Z. I'm not getting black because my dad has a black Z32.

Oh yea... can you tell me how many miles are on it?

BTW.... do the gauges light up when the car is on, or do you have to turn on the headlights?

And that yellow front bumper reflector.... does it light up as well?

Thanx mang.... lotta help!

Well.. if the gauges light up whenever the car is turned on, that'll make life sooo easy for me.

I've got modding plans for the gauges, so less wiring work for me!
