I'm an '06 grad of UWG and live about two miles from the campus off 166. We'll be moving closer to Atlanta within the next 6 months or so, but I'm sure if you see a yellow Z around town...it's me. C'ton is still pretty small and I can't think of one single yellow Z I have ever seen in the area.

The original window sticker came with it and the retail price on it new was $41,000.

I'm thrilled with it.
Register in April. Buy a 350Z in April. No dicking around. That's the way to do it.

Got the Z within 12 hours of registering. Looking forward to the daylight tomorrow so I can take some pics to post. I think at this point this thread is useless without pics.

Here it is....





I had backed my Titan out of the garage so I could get my Hobie kayak down to work on it and just decided to leave the Z in the garage when I took the pics. It would look even better out in the sun. Not the best pics, which is bad since digital photography is part of what I do for a living, but laziness has taken over today. Just took them with my waterproof Pentax I use while kayak fishing.

...and yes, it has an AT. That's part of negotiating while married. She wants to drive it but doesn't want a MT. It was either AT or no Z.

Not a bad compromise...I would have made the same choice. The 5 speed auto/manual at is almost as quick......and I find the AT in mine ('04 vert) to be smooth and strong. Enjoy your Z in good health.

w00t!!! Congrats! Nice job on getting a rare beauty. I think you will be very happy with this one! Love the Direezza's too. I had them on mine for a year and loved them.

Maybe you can come to this event: www.zdayz.com in May!

The main problem we have here in the south during this time of year is pollen. It shows up bad on almost any color...even my silver Titan. It won't really show up on the Z, so that will be nice. We really just wanted to avoid dark colors because a car can get dirty really quick around here.

Wow, awesome that you went with the 35th. Certainly not that many of them, being a one year, limited colour. Enjoy!!!

One of my previous toys was sunburst yellow, which is quite similar to the the Ultra Yellow. You'll need to be quite vigilant to keep and possible paint staining at bay. UY is such a spectacular colour.
