Default NJ car swap for a weekend in November?

Call me crazy, but I'm at my wit's end trying to find a 350Z rental for the day of our wedding, Saturday Nov 8th. My fiancee insists our getaway car has to be a Z and it would make her very happy.

If anyone is willing to swap cars for a day or two, and if you need a grocery getter, let me know. I have a silver A6 2.7T Quattro in 6spd I can trade for the day, and I'm willing to write a check for a modest amount for the effort.

Looking for a Z that is:
1) clean and will photograph well for wedding pictures
2) any year, transmission, or color

I'm in the West Windsor/Hamilton area and will be going from there to Bridgewater and back the Sunday afterwards. Let me know!

And here is my grocery getter:

Yeah, I know it sounds ridiculous. I tried convincing her otherwise but it didn't take.

At least at the end of the day I can tell her I tried!

Tried that..dealership won't go for the "extended" test drive with the Z.

and the last thing she'll want is a wedding picture with another grocery getter!

No disrespect, but she sounds kinda materialistic, no?

If you got 15k collateral to replace my turbo, clutch, tranny, and motor, it's all yours!

Bridgewater! I have nothing else important to add to that.

Can you drive stick?

And women should be materialistic. Don't let these guys get you down.

Also, congrats on the marriage. My god, people.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Materialistic, yes, but no more so than anyone that wants to leave the church in a stretch limo I guess? She just wanted something different. Plus, she says if she likes the ride she'll be open to us getting one in the next year.

And yes, my A6 piggy is a 6 speed twinturbo w/sport seats, so not that bad a ride!

Tried Hertz about a month ago, not available in any of the main Hertz locations in the tri-state. Thanks though!

Congrats on the wedding bro!
I don't know how many people can be trusted especially, when most of us put our sweat and tears into our Z's...
I hope you find one before the wedding.

Yeah, I don't blame anyone for being hesitant to do this. Don't think I have any takers here, but let me know if anyone changes their mind. Thanks!
