My 4th Z

timely · 07-03-2011, 07:16 PM

in 1982 I met a woman with a new white 1982 280zx turbo and married her. (not just for the car but it was a plus) I sold that one in 1996 and was z less for a few years but I was hooked

in 1990 I found a silver 1983 280zx 2+2 for sale on the side of the road with 45k miles. I kept that one until last week

In 2003 I ordered a new silver 350z from Nissan. It was one of the first 3000 that Nissan built. I kept that one until last week

Two weeks ago the sales manager at my local dealer called me and wanted to know if I wanted to sell my 83. After lots of back and forth I sold my 83 and traded in my 2003 for this new 2011 370z.

YES I DO LOVE SILVER
BTW.... 4 zzz later I am still married to that wonderful woman that got me started

Does your wife drive it or do you? __________________ Get some roosters for eggs and Bulls for milk . Then you will see that gender matters. Especially at milking time.
