It's official, I can now join the rest of my Z brothers and sisters for real. I finally picked up my new ZR LS/wBO from Ancira Nissan in San Antonio. I ordered it back on Nov 11, it finally arrived 3/2. Thanks by the way to Mr. Potato Head for the lead on a good dealer. They did a superb job!

First off I discovered I'm not a patient person, I'm definately an impulse buyer, so this will be the last car I will ever order.

Secondly, the nearly 4 month wait was worth it, the car is BEAUTIFUL, so glad I got exactly what I wanted.

So...... back to the story line. I pick up the car in SA (75 mi from my house), there is a huge line of thunderstorms thats supposed to run thru the area, but ....... I gotta have that car. So I drive back in some of the worst rain I've seen, I'm not used to a ragtop so the rain hitting the top sounds like HAIL, I'm chittin' in my Burnt Orange ventilated seat, but finally manage to make it home safe and sound.

Anyways, half hr later, skies clear up, kinda like a sign. So, I pull the Z out and start its first wash & Zaino job. Special thanks to Dr. Bonz for all his tips and posts. So, here I am...... can't get passenger door unlocked, go around to drivers, flip switch, shut door, find out passenger is still locked.... and guess what, so is DRIVERS side. Oh yeah, by the way, the owners manual with all sets of keys are locked inside. Please DON'T TELL ME I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS DONE THIS!!!!!!!!.

But no fear, all's well that ends well. Locksmith, $120, free burger coupons, unlocked new car = PRICELESS

Anyways, I'm welcoming my self to the club. I've been trolling this board for about 5 months, lots of good info and people out there, thanks alot. Here's a few pics of Zeta....... oh yeah, another story.

Wife and I went to dinner, top down of course, few glasses of wine and she starts wanting to name the car. Well, I never thought of naming it, I got it a personalized license plate WHATAZ, but really wasn't going to call it "WHATAZ". So she starts talking about how sexy and attractive it is........ I'm thinking Catherine Zeta Jones ....and so I would like you to meet the new member of our family...........Zeta.

 

Ain't she sexy?

 

That was a fun 4 hr car wash, Claybar is alot easier than I thought.

 

Isn't that the sexiest looking butt you've ever seen.......lol

 

MMMM, sexy... glad you finally got the car. You can now officially be welcomed to the board.

 

Whataguy5431: IS that an Automatic or a manual? I can't tell from the picture, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't look like the gear shifter I have in my MT.

Love the LS Roadster, btw.. loved it so much I got one of my own . I have the black leather, though.. I am an impulse buyer, and wasn't waiting just to get the BO seats, though they do look hot.

 

It was a good compromise with my wife, I really wanted her to enjoy driving the car.

And the ventilated burnt orange seats are great. A slight draft is always at your back, cooling as you drive. Heated seats aren't as warm as I thought they'd be, anybody else notice that or do I need to get them adjusted?

 

my seats do heat up. I have the same exact setu but i have a regular coup. My back wont warm up though. its ok...car is still hot looking. I like yours by the way.

 

Damn, that car looks hot! Next time a bit of warning would be nice before stories like the locksmith. Almost spit my coffee all over my monitor.

 

Congrats on Zeta she's a real beauty, I just love theLS color

 

Mine take about 5-10 minutes or so to fully heat up.

 

But, good thing you weren't driving when you heard the story. Yeah, that was pretty durn embarassing. So far, looks like I'm the only one who's done it. Either that or everyone else is too embarassed to say they did, lol.

Drove into town today to run a few errands, in 1 hours time got 6 compliments. I think I like the color more than I thought, very unique. Kinda like the Brickyard, really stands out and there aren't that many of them out there.

I'm used to the heated seats in the Burb, they will burn your butt & back. But, I think I can adjust to these.

 

Could have been worse..You could have locked your keys in the car with the convertible top down....

 

So right, then what would I do???????? But I bet it would have been an easier job for the locksmith that way.....lol

 

Hehe gratz man the car looks awesome. Funny I look at pics of different color Z's on here and I always say damn I shoulda got that color, then I look at my car and go nope I love it. I swear I love almost every color and combo. I once locked my keys inside my car, not the Z. It was 95 degrees out and I'm standing outside my car which is running with the AC on. Lol I felt like a bonehead.

 

Welcome aboard, bro!!

We all have more dumb-a$$ stories than we care to admit.

You made the right choice though, the Z roadster is the greatest. Yours is the first sunset/orange color combo I've seen, and it's killer. Enjoy!

 

Looks good ! I like your house too

 

No worries, I just locked my keys in the car with the ignition running somehow. I think the car automatically locked the doors when I shut the door since the car was running. I seem to recall doing this before except with the windows open (in which case I could easily unlock them). Do not attempt unless you have a spare handy. A trip to 7-11 cost me $45.00. Learned how to steal a 350Z though, which would maybe be useful if I didn't already have one

 

a roadster fan. although i dont really care for the LS color, i love the ventilated BO seats. i think the best combo is the silver stone/bo combo.

welcome!

Reading that your from Texas, the burger coupons, and your license plate, WHATAZ, I thought for a moment there you worked at WHATABURGER. LOL!
