Well, I finally picked up my Z. Been registered for a while, been wanting one for a while, and last weekend, I bought a 2004 Silver Alloy Metallic Z. Its a Touring, automatic, with 31k on the odo. By far, one of the best cars I've ever driven. I used to have a TT Lexus SC300, and I like this car stock 1000 X more than my TT lexus. Pics to come soon once I have time to wash it. I've worked every day since I bought it. I'm in Knoxville, Tn btw.

EDIT for pics!

 

Congrats!

 

Geeze your fast, lol. Only posted 1 minute ago, haha. Thanks

 

alright!!! now get your lazy a$$ up and wash her already!!! just kidding man

 

I bought it and it was 70 degrees out, then, 5 days later it was snowing We had more snow here in Knoxville in the past 2 days than we did all winter. wtf? lol. Wednesday is wash day First day off in 11 days. Don't want her repo-ed, so gotta do what I gotta do I guess, lol.

 

Sounds like it was worth the wait. Congratz to you.

 

Yeah it was. I was actually at carmax looking at a G coupe, and my buddy said "hey, theres a 350z over there." I had test driven one back in 06, and I didn't remember liking the blind spots, but I figured, why not. So instead of test driving the G, I took out the Z. This time I decided I could get over the blind spots, lol. You get used to them, right? haha.

 

Congrats!

 

i'm 5'7" 160lbs no blind spots, seats works perfect for me hehehe asian built for the win!!! :P

 

I too was concerned about blind spots. Adjust your side mirrors so you don't see the side of your car and the rear view (it has a double joint) and you're unlikely to have problems. I've never felt bothered since I drove it away from the Dealership. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

 

Well seeing behind and next to me is no problem while driving. I used those mini circle mirrors. (I've had them on every car I've owned since 1998, so I'm kinda used to them, lol) I only notice the blind spot when I'm backing out of a parking spot. I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm coming from driving an 03 Expedition. 1 more day till my first day off with the Z. I'm gonna go through sooooo much gas. I'm looking forward to Friday though. Taking the z to the smokie mountains. Should be a really fun drive.

 

added some pics in the first post. for wash day, lol.

 

...I confess...I wash mine ('04 Tour' Coupe) 'bout every 2 weeks...ashamed.
Too busy at work, caring after elderly mother; wife, 2 kids. Life's hard after
50 ,guys (59er).
--The black sheep of the Z-family.

 

I wash mine about the same and all I do is work, so don't feel bad, lol. Then again, for some reason, every time I have a day off, its either cold or raining. Weather was so nice when I drove an Expedition, which cost me 80 bucks to "cruise" in. Now I have my Z, and it rains every day.

 

It rains a lot down at Puerto Rico, so every time I take mine to the carwash,
here it comes, pouring down; I may even do it every 3 wks., from now on!
At any rate, I DO CARE for oil changes (Mobil 1 oil AND filter; K&N air filter), not so much for the aspect of the beast. Wait till you turn 59, and you'll understand me!!! Greetings, guys!
('04 Tour' Coupe, NO FEATHERING PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
