Maybe that is why some people thought it was an expensive car, because it was on some platform with signs saying to keep off.
You should have come to San Jose on Fri, only took me 50 mins to get there from Walnut Creek. You could do anything short of drive them there.

I wanted to but I had a date right after work. Had to hang out in downtown SF. Can't pass up when a pretty lady asks ME out! The Z can wait.

Good call, hope that went well.

I will probably swing down to the Mascone later today to check out the show. Thanks for the pics...

If it is not too far out of your way I think it is worth it just to see it. It won't be in the dealers show room floor until late next month or later I think. I didn't want to wait that long.

Oh, I did make the right call. No regrets.

Bleahh Nissan just did me a favor. Just saved myself 4 hours of my time and 50 bucks on gas, parking, bridge fare and admission fee LOL.

I'll just wait till they show up at the dealership, so I can have 5 sales people ask me if they can help me, so I can say no 47 times and enjoy their dirty looks.

In this economy you would think Nissan would go out of thier way to have one you could actually sit in like at the LA show, in hopes people might instantly fall in love and impluse buy/order one, instead of taking the risk somebody might buy something else they could sit in like a poo poo Eclipse.

Funny, You should see the looks I get when I take my film slr out. I can't even get a hold of good Fuji Pro film easily anymore. But you can't argue with the results.

Yeh, I didn't get it. How much wear and tear would they have just by having people sit in it? A lot of people were asking too, a lot of missed opportunities for them. I wonder what type of marketing plan that was?

everyone said the same thing about the 350 when it came out too. But when you see a thousand of them over 6.5 years it's obviously not the newest thing on the block anymore.

The thing that makes the 370Z look more expensive and upmarket than the 350Z is the bulging shape, sleek silhouette and nice interior. The 350Z looked like a bargain when it came out but the 370Z much more so.
