ouch... sucks to hear about that. i got my Z from Rosen, and i'm actually bringing her in tomorrow to get my alignment and tranny checked.
yea, my Z was parked for the winter too but i had no choice but to drive her for the past couple of weeks because the brakes on my winter car suddenly shot to **** and it finally got repaired just this past weekend.
NISMO_GUY2003, welcome to wisconsin... definitely not as fun as illinois, but hell, we'll get a meet together sometime

Looking forward to some cruising around in the Z to learn my way around town...

No I already got screwed by Gentile once. I ordered my car from them in March 03 and they neglected to tell me that they didn't have the ability to order my car so I told them to screw off and found the exact car on another lot in Illinois in late July. The car I ordered finally arrived in OCTOBER. I will never go back to Gentile after that. I go to Gurnee for service at Fair Oaks Nissan. They have great service folks.

Gentile does suck something horrible. This week after the snow storm I was ready to trade the Z for a Murano. I went to the Gentile nissan website and saw they had a loaded 2004. I hit the "Inquire about this vehicle" button, gave my info and left a message as follows:
Hello I was wondering if you still have this vehicle on your lot and would like to know if you have any end of model year closeouts or no/low percent financing for this Murano. Also I will be looking to trade in a 2003 350Z touring and hope you can give me a ball park figure for the trade.
Two days later I get an email from sales manager that went something like this:
I'm sorry, but that vehicle is no longer on the lot, it was sold just a few days ago and the website has not yet been updated. Can you tell me what you are trying to accomplish? I know that your time, as well as mine is valuable and if I knew what goals you are trying to accomplish. Blah blah blah call me or email me.
O.k. the first thing is the night he sent me this email i saw the vehicle still on the lot, secondly, "what am i trying to accomplish"?!!??! Gee lets see, I asked about a vehicle you are trying to sell, I'm asking about deals and financing, AND I told you I have a vehicle i would like to trade. COME ON! Like my hobby is to waste my time inquiring about cars by email. That is the last nail in the proverbial coffin for Gentile, I will never ever try to purchase a car from them again.
(have since decide to keep the Z and buy snow tires in the future)

geez... the problems i had with Rosen sound like nothing compared to you guys with Gentile.
the only reasion i got pissed at Rosen was because I brought in my Z 2 days after I had purchased it so that they could apply an underbody protectant (yea, i dunno how i got talked into buyin it). the agreement that we made on the day i picked up my Z was that i could bring it in 2 days later to get the protective shield on it and that they would give me a loaner car so that i could get to work and back that day. anyways, so i bring it in and when i ask for my loaner, they say "oh, we can't give you a loaner because we didn't realize you aren't 21 yet......" i'm like wtf, you @sses should've realized what my age was when i filled out all the friggen paper work for the Z. so yea because of the situation, i ended up late to work, where i missed a department meeting (yea my boss wasn't so happy). at the time i was only 20, so it was especially annoying because when i was doing all the paperwork, the salesman was all like "wow, you're the youngest person i've sold a Z to"... so they should've known!
but damn, like i said before, the stuff between me and Rosen doesn't even come close to the **** you guys have went through with Gentile. maybe one of these days when it gets nicer out, we should use our Z's and block their entrances with signs sayin "F*CK Gentile"
eeeevil

Rosen sucks a$$ man, they try to hussle way too much, Wilde, where I got my car, is even worse.
I will never go to Gentile, I had a bad experience with a trying to buy a Honda from them and vowed to never go back. Gordie Boucher is not bad.
I can't wait for winter to end, I wanna roll in the Z!

So is anybody in WI boosted or planning to? I've been looking into it but I know I can't do anything until I graduate (grrr... 9 credits short of graduating this May). I've been lookin at the APS kit mainly because it comes with a fuel map, but at ~$9500 it's a good $3-4k more than the GReddy TT and Stillen SC.
If anybody is boosted, I'd love to check out your ride to see how much harder it pulls. I have to do something to my Z so I can keep up with my roomie's TT supra. But I guess until I graduate, I'll have to settle with my JWT pop charger.

BTW, I'm sure I've asked here before, but does anybody drive their Z in the winter? I took mine out for the first time since late fall on Saturday and I totally wasn't expecting it to snow. I ended up spending the night at a friend's place (tooooooo much alcohol that night lol) and when it was time to leave, I couldn't move for **** in all the snow we got. I know it's all in the stock tires... but man, after that experience, I have a new respect for what Blizzaks can do.

ahh, the dreaded double-post 
anyways, where's everybody at? over the past couple of weeks, I've seen like a million 350z's around downtown milwaukee... there's even a redline 350z in my same apartment complex! (speakin of which, if you're a member here, I drove up behind you and opened the garage door for you cuz I guess you didn't have it on you that night... and you didn't even say thanks, bastard!! ) I know I've said that I wanted to set up a meet before, but this time I'm for real... we gotta set something up sometime April cuz there's obviously a lot more Z's this year than there was last year.
oh yea, does anybody have any experience with driving an Acura? I used to drive an Acura Integra Type-R, but it was only every once in a while cuz it was my roomie's car. Anyways, I'm lookin for another car and the other week I test drove an Acura RSX Type-S and TL.... any advice/words of wisdom about Acuras?
oh and one more thing, I got stranded in my Z when it was snowing (again!), and this is what happened:

I swear, it will never be this dirty ever again.............

well, what i thought was impossible has happened... i'm actually contemplating about selling my Z............ 
reason being is that i just need a car that i can drive all year 'round. i'm still trying to figure out if i want to just buy snow tires, but i dunno. if i get rid of the Z, i'm most likely going to pick up a subaru sti. only problem with this is that i sacrifice pimp juice sexiness from the Z for performance from the sti. 
ahhh, decisions. i suppose if i get the right offer, it'll be ok to let my Z go. does anybody know someone looking for a Z? i have a '03 silverstone 350z enthusiast with only 11k miles on her, zaino'd beyond beleif, and in pristine condition minus 1 or 2 small paint chips due to nissan paint quality. kbb lists price at $23,090 with the options i have, but i'd be looking to get at least $22,000. anybody know someone who'd like to make an offer?

Thanks

I'm a noob here but I'm in Wiscon. Work in Milw. and live (if you can call it that) in Racine. If you see a Redline Z in Racine with Rosen sticker (ok, I'm taking that thing off) feel free to say HI. I'd easily join a Z club in Milw.
Peace,

Room for rent! I have an entire FLOOR for rent. I have a HUGE Victorian in Racine (30 minute drive) and the floor is 1800 sq. feet, hardwood floors, 3 bdrm, living room, family room, dining room, eat in kitchen. Not too bad if I do say so myself.
