Much as it shames me to admit it, I was actually trying to pre-order a (an ?) rx-8 on Fathers Day ( a Sunday). Could find no Mazda dealers open within 50 miles of Nashville. Began to get really PO ed. While searching, I saw a Nissan billboard, and thought let's just look. Of course, the Nissan dealer was closed, but there was a CS on a turnstile outside. Oh, hell...
Got on the phone...there was a dealer in Nashville open, and willing to wait for me. On the way, I thought "It's a 2 seater. No way to carry my daughter and granddaughter. Oh well..."
Got there, looked at a Maxima...looked at my Z...looked at a Murano(sp?)...looked at my Z...looked at a Frontier...looked at my Z...called my daughter and got her permission, wrote a check, and drove really fast and happy to my daughter's house to show off. Been in love with this car ever since.....

Now aren't you glad that all those dealerships were closed? Glad to hear that you chose the Z, because you definitely made the right choice.

Now if you want the Murano as a second vehicle, that would be good too.

 

it was love at first site *sigh* now i have my own silver one!

 

I was looking for something fun and after test driving a Mini, I was thinking I liked the handling and style, but thought it wasn't "manly" enough. A week later, I was sitting in the boom operator's seat of a KC-10, instructing a new pilot on the way back from the Azores, and simultaneously flipping through his copy of Maxim and the Z sat there in a 2 page article, looking beautiful. I said the moment I saw it "that's the car I'm going to get", and I did!

 

Yeah, the Z is definitely "manly" enough... excellent choice.
