21 here. I bought a 03 350z that my parents helped me with when I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma at 17. I beat that and now have a 370! And bills, unfortunately.

My brother in law just passed from that. I understand your struggle and triumph. You deserve every ounce of enjoyment from that Z and the rest of your life.

My first car at 16 was a 1978 280Z that I worked two Summers to buy.

My second Z 1990 Twin Turbo I purchased in my late 20's

My current Z I purchased in my early 40's and is getting the FI Twins installed

Man, I wish I had extra cash to put some FI twins on mine. I might start hookering.

I'm currently 22, and I bought my Z last year a little over a month after I turned 21. I drove my friends Z up on the dragon, got a ticket in it, and got one for myself two months later. I haven't looked back yet. This year I hope to get some more maintenance stuff done to it like a diff rebuild and a clutch job, along with some other here and there things besides the usual bi-monthly tire change lol.

Bought my first 05 350z when I turned 22, financed it myself, and upgraded to a 2016 Nismo 3 months later.

SCORED my 370Z at 59!!!

Had a 300ZX for the previous 10 years - Restored it and sold it when it became an antique!

Got a 20 year old mind stuffed into a 60 year old body. Not a good combination.
