Woohoo! Regional forums! Now that's nice.

Next plan, get a meet or something arranged, eh?

Someone posted about the NW Z Club earlier, perhaps we should get some members involved in that club, and then coordinate events between these two clubs?

Might get a broader audience that way ... ???

From: PORTLAND,or
Default South Northwest

Ordered in December and delivered on 9-11. Over 6000 miles and thoroughly enjoying the car: Touring,AT,SS. Have had absolutely no problems other than Bose amp swithchout. Beaverton Nissan got the part and got it done without a question.

I think I was one of the first in Portland and have only seen one each of Silver, Black and Red on the road.

What's happening in Portland ?

Keep on Z'n Still jumpin' for Joy !

Nope, HomeAdvisor. We got sold about a little over a year ago to Freddie Mac.

Really... I had no idea, I just assumed HA was consumed into MSN.

I know quite a few former HA folks and HA was in my building for a while (B10).

Melrummy,

What's happening in Portland? It's raining (but you know that). And if you ask that question every month between now and July, you'll probably get the same answer (lol)! I'm sure the guys from Seattle can relate...

Now that we've got the standard disclosure out of the way to prevent more people from moving to the Pacific Northwest...(j/k)...the Pacific Northwest is a truly beautiful place - it's just that we feel a little Sun challenged at times...

Until we get a few more new Z owners out there - not much is happening yet - I haven't even seen one on the road. My guess is that about 20-30 have been sold in the area. And I plan to do my part to help out (expecting a Dec/Jan delivery). I hope some day we'll be able to organize a meeting of Z owners.

Well, MS bought our company (formerly Tuttle Decisions Systems, Inc) back in August of 2000. They renamed us to HomeAdvisor Technologies and we kind of merged into the HomeAdvisor portion of the MSN site but also offered our company's original product line outside of the MSN universe.

Anyway, we were a subsidiary, and there were about 20 or so MS employees that remained in the MS while we were owned by MS and also after we were sold by MS.

Sooooo ... Freddie Mac bought us after that fell through and here we are today. With yet another name (which is a horrible name that I care not repeat as it makes no sense).

I only made it up to the MS mothership once. Very nice, much nicer than our little offices here in Gig Harbor.

Yeah, I've only seen two on the road. One was getting on the freeway in rush hour traffic about 1/4 of a mile in front of me. Naturally, I had to get off at the next exit, so I couldn't get a close look.

Then I saw one a few weeks ago going down Highway 16 in the opposite direction.

First one was silver, 2nd one was blue.

I've seen a bunch at the dealerships, though ...

I've seen 20-30 Zs on the road already. Actually, there are 3 of them parking outside my building at work!

It's all in location I guess, but I don't think we have a shortage of Zs in the PNW

I'm here in the Kitsap Peninsula I have not seen any Zs except when I'm in Seattle. There's a Silverstone Track model from Aurora Nissan with no plates yet. Btw, I have a Superblack Track. Hope to meet you all soon...
