Default Got her.......and she even talks to me :-)

After months and months of thinking and then waiting and reading threads about the Z ........ My SB Touring sits in my Garage to my delight after getting it last night. I had actually ordered one as I wanted it loaded with the Nav and everything just perfect, including the XM radio, but when I found out about the ugly install of the antenna.....I called the dealer I ordered it from and they said there was nothing they could do, but I was welcome to cancel if I'd like (after already waiting two months and knowing it was coming in a couple more weeks....

I was torn......I really didn't want to start all over again on the order process...but I didn't want that damn attenna on the roof.....

So I kept watching local inventories, and to my delight yesterday I found the exact one I had ordered except with a black interior instead of orange (which I had decided I liked better anyway after seeing the other combo)....and it didn't have the XM radio......but was loaded with everything else.........including a clear bra which I wanted....They matched my deal....and I took them down on the markup of the bra..... and the Z is finally mine.....

Yes and she talks to me (navagation)....and the wife is a bit jealous....she claims I have a mistress........and well, maybe she is.......

It's my fourth New Z......and this one has been a long time coming.... I'll see you on the road.......

i've seen several aftermarkets put it on the strut bar, and it works fine, and you barely notice it. I dont see why nissan would do such a thing.

very nice move on not getting the XM Radio. It was definitely worth it to wait for what you really wanted.
