Talking Mommy's back in a Z :) A big thanks to this forum :)

I just had to pop in here and finally post..I've been lurking awhile...reading through this forum and finding all the answers to my questions.

I finally drove home in my 370Z today I've been a Z-girl for a long time... My parents handed down a 1974 240Z...then I graduated to a 1981 280ZX...in 1993 I bought a 300ZX...which I had to sell when the babies started coming in 1996..

Fast forward to 2009, Mommy is back in her Z.

A big thank you to all the members of this forum, the information I found here was extremely helpful!

Thanks for the nice welcome!

I have been driving the Z today in the manual mode and having a ball playing with the shifting..I did test drive the 6speed manual and I really enjoyed it although, I never really got any "smooth" shifting down with that... My husband talked me into getting the automatic because (at my age..ahem...) he said I'd enjoy it for the first few months and then this California traffic would make me regret it. He's *probably* right but I felt more like a race car driver in the stick shift

I definitely have pics of my 93 300ZX (Charcoal I believe was the color back ten, but its pretty much the same as this PG) somewhere around here, I will have to dig deep into my old high school memorabilia to find the 240Z (red) and the 280ZX (black) but I just might do that!

Thanks again for the warm welcome. As you can probably guess, I won't be racing it... I'm a full-time stay at home mom with 3 kids who is going to nursing school full-time. I needed a smaller, easier and more economical car to drive--so how I somehow talked my husband into letting me get the Z--

I can't stop smiling.

I'm pretty sure the only thing we'll probably do would be some type of exhaust and then he is talking about new wheels...but quite honestly, I like the wheels that came on the thing. But other than that, no...I can't imagine I would ever use this car to its stock potential, let alone any type of mods. But I sure bet all the young college kids at school would think I was pretty cool if I did?
