I've loitered in the Ferrari parking lot numerous times (while leaving nose prints on the plate-glass walls of the showroom floor, too ), and never been bothered. I even pulled in there one time when there was a police officer in the lot. He didn't say a word. Besides, it's not like we're holding a meet there, we'll only be there a few minutes.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It's not like they're not used to having people gawking through the glass like you said. I'll be there. Now I just have to plan on giving my car a quick cleaning before I head out! Can't have her lookin messy.

I get my Z on wednesday. I wish I could come out with you guys, but I dont want to start driving my car until I'm comfortable with it. This is my first manual car, so I'll be out in a couple weeks.

flynnibus, we'll be holding you to that!

titanlax, you have got serious guts. I can't imagine learning to drive a stick in a 350Z! What color are you getting? Trim level? From one newbie to another, welcome to the club!

Later!

thanks for the welcome. I know how to drive stick, but its different driving a Z than an old toyota corolla. I'm getting a daytona blue enthusiast.

titanlax, let us know when you get your car and want to hook up. Nothing like a pack Zs prowling through the night!

Don't worry about it....You should come out! There was one Friday where a guy in a Viper stalled his car right in front of everyone. He certainly got a chuckle, but he took it ok. Besides, all you're going to do is drive into the lot and park. You DO know how to park, don't you?

Anyway, if you change your mind, 8:00 at the Ferrari dealership on Rt. 28. We'll hang for about 10-15 minutes or so just in case.

Hello fellow NOVA Z owners. I live in Fairfax and own a 2 month old '04 Enthusiast Roadster in LeMans Sunset. I'm game for getting together and cruising anytime. I won't be able to make it out to Chic-fil-a this Friday night because I'll be San Diego over the weekend.

BTW, some of you mentioned clear bras (I think they're called masks now). Check out www.pftfilms.com. It is a mobile service based out of Herndon. They perform all of the product installations at customer's home's, business's, or shops that they are affiliated with in the VA/MD area. I'm going to get a complete kit: Hood, Fender and Mirror Kit, Bumper Kit and Headlight Kit for $995. They install the good 3M film.

SHOCK!!! First post eh? Very cool! Congratulations on the car man! LS is one of my fav. colors for the Z.

There are a bunch of us in the Fairfax/Loudoun area, so we'll have to hook up a skyline cruise or something. The Chik-Fil-A thing is a weekly deal, so you can come out any Friday. I try to get out there about once a month, just for the heck of it.

When you get back from SD, let us know. We'll put something together. Multiple Z's cruising around really is lots of fun.

That's what I'm talking about. Sounds like we could get at least 4 or 5 Zs together. Sounds like a good time. On a side note, I checked out the video (on this site) of the Corvette racing some other car. Man what a freakin great video. If you haven't seen it, I won't ruin for you, but you should check it out!

Still planning on showing up Friday. Hell I'll check out Ferraris any day.
