I bought the car not knowing how to drive a stick. Lets just say it was an interesting ride home.

It started raining heavily right after I left the dealer, and continued for most of the hundred-mile trip home. So much for not getting the new Z wet.

I had spent the better part of the day driving two M3's; an 04 and an 02. Both were preowned at the Nissan dealer. By the late afternoon, I wasn't convinced that it was the car for me. I asked the sales man what the previous M3 owners had traded them in for... He pointed to a PPW 350z... which I bought an hour later. 5 years later, I'm still completely satisfied!

Since it was only March 12th, I was lucky to drive it home from Buffalo with it only raining. It was garaged immediately once home.

On a side note, my wife drove me out there and she had to stop for gas on the way home on the Thruway. I pulled off on the side and got out to pump gas for her. I happened to be looking around and saw a middle-aged man just gawking at my Z while he was pumping gas.

Made me .

I bought my 350z last Monday in the evening, when I got it back home it was dark. I spent all of the evening driving the car, it was and still is perfect!

As for washing it, I still haven't but probably should.

Awesome car. Most impressed.

I felt like a ***** jerking in second every time. I thought I had bought a broken car. Then I realized I am now a Z owner.

The first day I got the z, i drove it out of the dealership before I started work. It was a very short ride. Left the dealer, took a pic of my
Little brother and the Z, n then went to work. Longest shift EVER!

I was a bit nervous driving it that week since it was my first sports car and my first RWD car

But now I'm complete comfortable with the handling

I picked up my Z on July 1, 2003. As I recall, I got home from the dealer about 7:00 in the evening and took my daughter for a drive. Here are a couple pictures from the day the Z arrived in my life......................

Stalled it pulling our of the dealer in 3rd gear, lol. And I've known how to drive a MT for 40 years! Took the wife and kids on multiple trips around my 'burb, and then left it at home for 3 days while I went on a fishing trip. When i came home, the wife had washed and waxed it for me, and never took it out of the driveway.

Im a 21 female deiver . not excellent but difinitely not those youtube woman.I rmb when I was like 14 , the time I can't even tell the logo of Honda of Toyota, I love this car. And whenever I see 350z on the street or the freeway commercial posterI juz ask whoever next to me what that car is call and I didn't realize its the same car LOL.i still rmb they have a giant big poster with an orange 350z. However I have a accord as a first car auto for 1year. And I decide to haves manual z even I only have drive a stick shift for 2 hours total. It's kinda weird some ppl might think a girl drive a 350z and it's manual but I don't care. I'm picking it up later. . Hopefully it won't take me too long to handle it since I work at DT and traffic there. It's gonna be a great start

I bought mine on a Friday and it started raining about halfway through the 40 minute drive home. It wasn't just rain, however, it was a tropical storm that ended up washing away most of the beaches and flooding most of the area. I didn't get to feel my car at WOT for the first month or so since it took so long for it to dry up.

Bought my car sight unseen from a dealer in Philadelphia, drove it 340 miles back to Youngstown Ohio, very long ride, but it was a great feeling driving my new Z all the way home. As soon as I got home, i washed and waxed it to bring it up to my cleanliness standards. Then my buddy Adrian (Z_on_TE37s) came over and we cruised to a car show. Was a great night, after I figured out how to shift into second gear without jerking the car haha. Proud 350z owner!
