My First Sports Car

bbigby64 · 01-01-2012, 08:22 PM

Hi, all. I just purchased my first sports car about two weeks ago, a red 2010 370Z w/Sports Package. It's absolutely beautiful! I've loved Nissan's Z cars ever since I saw the 300ZX for the first time. I can hardly believe that the car in my garage is mine! Somebody pinch me! :-) Anyway, I'm thrilled to be a member of the 370Z community.

enjoy the thrill!!!

i love mine! i love it more so (and i didnt think that was possible) because of my insurance company.... its an unbeatable car for the price.

according to my insurance company My Z isnt considered a sports car because it doesnt have a turbo so my insurance went up only 200 bucks, then dropped 300

go figure.

That is odd. Oh well, it's a beneficial oddity.

The only thing that I didn't like about the 300ZX was the ride; it was rough on bumpy roads -- you felt everything! I test-drove one once. However, the 370Z is surprisingly comfortable! Thank goodness, or I might have changed my mind about purchasing the car.

me and my parents have travelers insurance, ive been with them since getting my license back in 2007. and the reason why it dropped was cuz i got a phone call about 2 months after and they said "Mr Gainey, we have reviewed your policy and you have been a very safe driver on the road, no accidents, no DUIs, nothing a perfect record. so your insurance has been lowered 300 bucks.

$877 im paying a year for full coverage on my Z
