My uncle Steve had a red 240Z back when I was growing up - called it his "Z car" and would not let me near the driver's seat. At one point my brother and I were tossing a football around and hit the car and my uncle yelled at me for a good 10 minutes (my Dad eventually came to my defense). I remember thinking what a d*ck he was for freaking out on me. The other day I was leaving my neighborhood and kids playing catch threw a ball over the car as I was driving by. I got out and yelled at them and then immediately had a flashback to being a kid. Funny how that works.
Anyway, ever since seeing that 240, I have wanted to own one. The 350z didn't do much for me but when the 370 dropped I bought one. Now I'm on my 2nd Z in 3 years so yeah, I can relate.
