Default Alright! Track model too!

Now I can't leave work early because I'm going to be staying at work hitting reload waiting for those brickyard pics. (Sorry for the hit on your bandwidth, Jmanz)

There will probably be various aftermarket options for the door handles. Just a guess tho'.

As you'll see, the brickyard wasn't 'posing' for me like the Daytona, but it was the best I could do today.

I don't think it's as dark as you think...look at the reflection on the hood. It's dark because of the tree shadow. Look at the few places that don't have the shadow and then try to imagine the whole hood that lighter color...should look great!

Default My Adventure

I decide to drive over at Nissan HQ at lunchtime. It is about 30 minutes from where I work, depending on traffic. My plan was to check out some possible 'viewing' spots for next week, because that is when I hope more colors will be found around their premises.

As I drive by one of their buildings, I see the chrome silver parked. I flip a U at next light, thinking where the chrome is, maybe the others are near by. As I get ready to pull into the lot where chrome sits, I see brickyard driving opposite way on same street. I flip another U to follow brick.

He pulls into a lot that has security, and I park and take a couple pics from my car. I got out, and started walking up, and he drove off. I walked along the fence, and saw the brick parked. snap...snap...snap.

I went back and asked the guard if I could enter the lot. He was very nice, but advised he couldn't let me. I thanked him, and went back and snapped a few more through the gate.

I then drove various streets around their buildings, looking for more Z's. That's when I spotted Daytona, sitting pretty right in front of their main building, prepped for some type of photo shoot.

snap...snap...snap.... (why are my hands shaking so much?)...snap....snap...snap

I talked to some of the Nissan employees, who were also checking out the Z, possibly for their first time too.

Everyone was very nice. No one asked me to stop taking pics. Matter of fact, before I took any pics, and asked those people standing around if it was ok, and they didn't know why I couldn't! One offered to take my pic in the car.

I went back for more brickyard pics, because I was worried my hands were shaking too much on the first set. Then, back to say goodbye to Daytona.

Smiled all the way down the 405 on my way back to work.
