The Backstory:

My wife is having a momentous birthday on the 20th, so i wanted to make it special. Since her first car was a 68 Firebird 400 HO, I had been looking into the auctions to try to get one that was restored that would be dependable... I knew there was no way to get a daily driver in a classic car like that .. so on to Option B ... Something shiny and new ..

She had been mentioning over the last year or so that she wanted a roadster, so I began window shopping... I hinted at several cars that "would be cool to have" without giving away the fact that I was planning on surprising her with one on her birthday... the Z was not received well by her .. hmmm, the mystique of owning a Z was obviously an unknown concept to her ..

After her insistence on owning a convertible, I began the painful process of nailing down all of her likes and dislikes ... It came down to this

Well, to get to the point ladies and gentleman, there are only 3 cars in the country setup the way she wanted it, along with the sport package, which is an option that I wanted to add...

Long story short, she was blown away with the coupe that I "settled" on..

Plus I lucked up and got in on Nissan's first EVER 0% offer on the Z's... (so I'm told)

I'm seeing less hesitation to let me hit the golf course whenever I want for the foreseeable future, plus I get to drive it on Sunday's.
