Default from the dealer to the garage

Just picked up an 05 touring, 6 speed, utra yellow. Since being in Syracuse and its the end of December, you can imagine where it is already. Yes, was able to get it home and parked for the winter. Was a blast driving home though!!! Can't wait to get it out. Will send some pics once the weather/snow clears.

Any suggestions on storing for the next 4-5 months? Would be much appreciated.

There have been a number of threads on storing the Z.......here is one for example.....you can use the search tools for others.

I store mine also...I preferr to start it on a regular basis, so I keep it on a carpeted surface in the garage (carpet squares under each of the tires)......and since I have to get a regular "fix", it is too much trouble to cover.......but that is an option too.

Thanks for the info. I have a feeling I will probably go the route you did with starting on occation. I can now understand wanting that "fix".

Yes, it has been torture as I am on vacation this week. Can't tell you how many times I have gone out to look at it today!!

My 350Z is waterproof: I’m dry inside while its raining outside. Maybe others have the non-waterproof model.

Road salt can be very destructive. Congrats on the new ride!
