40th Anniversary, cool & grats. Interested to see the interior. I haven't seen one on in person yet.

Bring it to some of the local meets so we can check it out, check the Socal forum. Phelan, Triples, Killer, me and a bunch of others go. Good guys, well....most of em :stirthepot:

Nice.

But I honestly don't understand why people who never drove stick just end up buying a sports car.

I had to learn how to drive manual with a clio.

Well I never drove anything but manual untill my 370

Its easy

since you're from belgium, it is like this:
driving a 370z automatic is like watching justine henin plays.
driving a 370z manual is like playing tennis and dreaming that you are justine henin :)

anyone who is doing that is gambling with his/her car paintjob.

imo, it is better to get a dent which can be removed cheaply than to get keyed :)

to be honest they should just force everybody going for their license to drive manual. if they want easy driving later they can go AT.

well here if you do your exam in AT you arent allowed to drive manual or you have to retake the test with a manual

I think AT sports cars are kind of silly and I wouldn't want one. But theres nothing wrong with someone liking a car and wanting to buy one if they can't drive MT. The only lame thing is when people with automatics talk about their drag times or some chump they beat in a race from a traffic light b/c they didn't really do anything except press the gas and hold the wheel straight.

I just find it funny when people say they can't drive stick, yet they CAN talk on their phone and text message while they drive.

I can drive stick, talk, text, change the radio station and flip someone off all simultaneously, i'd like to see some of you try that!:tup:

Vegitto-kun 02-28-2010 02:39 PM

I don't mind AT on a sports car. I mean then people would need to laugh at AT lambos ferraris and porsches.

I hate the full automatic. but I don't dislike AT with flappy pedals/and tecshift like the 370

I had to take my driving test in an MT because it's all my family had.

As for the MT on the 370Z..I found it really easy (and fun) to drive, but ultimately went with the 7AT because my husband bullied me into it :) (traffic..coffee...yadda yadda yadda...)

Enjoy!

I used to drive stick while smoking a cigarette and holding my ez-pass up to windshield through tolls!

The AT isn't a horror since you can still use the flappy pedals + tecshift stick

I could do that too. fun times. I miss MT thank god I can still drive the megane CC once in a while

In the UK we get tought to drive stick when we get driving lessons. If you chose to, you can learn in an auto, but, if you take your test in an auto, you are only licensed to drive them, by law you are not allowed to drive a stick, that would require taking another driving test.

Hence my amazement that people are buying this car having never driven stick and are using it to learn :eek:
