Damn, it's been a few weeks now. I have not seen a new Z yet!

And I have been on the roads quite a bit lately. Last weekend, I drove from New Bern (where I live) to Baltimore. Nothing on the way, nothing on the way back!

Then, just this weekend, I drove from New Bern again to Richmond. No new Z's on the way and none on the way back!

I just want to see one. I love seeing the pics you all have of your Z's! I think it's fantastic.

Well, I know I'll see one eventually, it's just strange I've not seen one yet. Got to see and drive the new Accord today. I'm considering the new 350Z as a daily driver for me.

BTW, what are your thoughts on a Chrome Silver with burnt orange?

stungeon

You would see me if you came to Raleigh. I have done 1400 miles in a week.

nickdtm

I haven't seen one yet either

Think about it this way, there were about 6200 pre orders. They're not evenly distributed in the US, ie. there are way more in LA than in say, Opie, Indiana. Given this, I don't think that even 1/4 or definitely 1/3 of the cars have been delivered yet.


So...basically, the thing is pretty rare still, I think it'll be fairly tough to see one randomly. At least for now.

Hmmmm. . .I tell you what! We have our annual S2000 meet in Knoxville this weekend where we run into Alcoa and run the Dragon. 11 miles with 318 curves, oh yeah baby!

I'm driving into Raleigh Friday morning. Wonder if we could coordinate a meet somewhere? PM me.

My Z has been on order since 2/3/02 and have not seen one either. I'n the third on the list in Wilmington, and have had a VIN for about three weeks now. I heard the boat with my Z is supposed to be at the port on the 9th, and that's today. And then maybe less than 2 weeks until it arives. Anyway, I would just as well not have anyone drive through Wilmington in a Z untill mine arives.

LOL! I almost drove down to Wilmington this afternoon to see the big waves from the storm.

Nissan doesn't offer Burnt Orange on Chrome Silver, but I think it'd look fantastic.

airgate

Really? The Nissan salesguy said. . .

Damn, wait. A salesguy, I should know better!

Your problem is you're looking in VA / MD for Z's... See the previous threads about the delivery issues in these states... So far I'm going on one week past my promised delivery date... HOPEFULLY my car comes in tommorow... Kinda sad seeing people with higher vins / later orders who have had their car for weeks.

Once the delivery issues get fixed I'm sure you'll see some Z's around baltimore

VaGentleman

Ditto the above. My delivery date was 9/4 *grrrrrrrrrr* At least my dealer had a CS that I could sit in. Fits nice *I'm 6'2*...I might have to go back on a regualar basis to get my Z fix until mine arrives

Hang in there!

Well I watched Monday Night Football tonight, haha Steelers, and saw the new commercials. And on Saturday z350z picked me up in his DB Performance and took me for my first ride in one. We went into the local hills. Low and behold as we got into the hills we pulled up to a Black w/Burnt Orange Touring 350Z. The guy just picked it up the night before. He wasn't much of a z enthusiast at all and he said he wasn't sure if he would sell it at a profit, LOL, or keep it. Guys like that really **** me off. But anyway the ride was a blast and when he went thru the gears it really snapped my head into the seat. From a passengers perspective it was really a very comfortable ride and the suspension was not brutal at all but very very good handling at the same time. I was very impressed with that.

Thanks Chris!! Next we take my DB Touring when I get her.

Kinda of dumb on Nissan's part to show all of their promo's of a Chrome Silver with Burnt Orange Leather and it's not even an option. You have to get Silverstone to get burnt orange leather.
I saw one come off the truck in that combo and it's pretty schweet.

I was at the Honda dealer having my S2000 serviced and I saw a semi carrying a Daytona Blue 350Z!

It looked great but I was unable to give any chase. The dealer in Jacksonville is about 45 minutes away and is receiving it for delivery to a local veterinarian. I was amazed on how much info the sales guy gave me over the phone on the buyer.

At any rate, I don't really have the time today to drive out into Jacksonville to see it but damn, I wish I could.

I think I may stop by Raleigh and see stungeon's!

I have never seen one in person. At this point I don't want to. I want the very first one I lay eyes on to be mine!

stungeon

Just met Airgate and 3 other of his S2000 buddies. That the first time that I got a good close look at the S2000. They are very sweet cars. I would love to have one parked next to my Z in the garrage.

Nice to meet you Airgate and I hope you guys have a blast in the mountains this weekend.

Haven't seen a Z in real life yet (even though I live in OC and work in LA). It ain't like I've been off the road either (average 600 miles a week).

It's been so long now and I hope my own Z is so close that I think I want to maintain "radio silence" on seeing one before I take delivery of mine. If I do see one, I'll just shut my eyes, cover my ears and go lalalalala. Yeah right, some poor guy will have to wipe my nose grease off his windows

I want my Z -- this board's the only thing keeping me going.

z350z

Hey, you're welcome, Zee-On (finally learned how to pronounce it!) The other things that bugged me about the other Z driver were 1) He said "I think it's called the 'Touring' model or something like that", and 2) Big bag of Burger King on the seat and giant soda in the passenger cupholder on the FIRST DRIVE. That, coupled with the fact that he's thinking of selling it, means he's not one of us (i.e. 350Z fanatics). But it was nice to see the black with the orange leather -- never saw one of those before.

Glad you liked the ride!

z-extreme

I have seen 3 so far. Of course all 3 have been at the dealer in the showroom or maintenance bay.
