Default The Love of Z's Never Dies

Hey guys,

Been awhile since I have posted, or even been on the site period. I thought I should swing in and see how things are. Looks like there is still a good amount of activity on here, which I am happy to see! It really is difficult to find a car forum that is a good (interesting/helpful) as this one.

I got rid of my '09 Touring Sport 6MT back in 2015. A member on here actually ended up purchasing it from the Infiniti dealer I bought my new car from. I'm now on new Infiniti #2: Q50S with all of the goodies. I do love the car..pretty luxurious and the thing is a rocket (sounds almost identical to my old Z ). I REALLY considered the option of getting back into a new Z, while shopping for the Q50 at the time. The AWD and ~slightly~ higher ground clearance is basically what it came down to. I had moved into another house during my Z ownership and it was impossible to get the car into the driveway. That and we have snow here about 10 months out of the year LOL.

Anyway, I am starting to get the new car itch again and the Z continues to be on my list of interest. I am definitely tempted now that they have brought my Chicane Yellow back onto the market. Also love Pearl White (previous 350z HR).

I would look into a White 2016 Nismo.

You can't beat it with the red accents styling

The Chicane yellows a nice and less common color.

Once Z's are in your blood it is all over. Only a matter of time before you get another one.

Saw a black Q60RS on the way home today it was really sweet. That quarter glass shape still doesn't do it for me, but nice car regardless. Come to think of it don't think I've seen one in any color other than black.

New price $61k

Five year cost of ownership $67k

Something's wrong with this picture. That's like 110% depreciation in five years. Wow!

If you don't attend to the itch it just gets worse & worse. I tried soothing mine with BMW M series, but OintmentZ was the only one that worked for me.

OintmentZ
OintmentZ
The only thing that works
For me.

We all buy OintmentZ.





Thought I'd make you a little pic...

Umm... I think it's the other way around. The Z when designed was copying the Jaguar E type and Ferrari GT of 1961. But nevertheless.... it's a beautiful car.

This video makes me wanna trade for a black Nismo. The angle shots are effing amazing.

I am also thinking of getting a Z. I sold my 05 GTO a few weeks ago.
I had a 25 year old tell me that a 50 year old would look silly driving a Z.
He also told me a Callenger would be more my style .
I like the GM and silver the best.

I'm 64. Just tint the windows.


Anyway - what do children know? ...apart from those ones who constantly tell me how nice the car is...
