That, and I had done so many mods, I felt I had compromised the car to some extent. Almost everything I did cost almost 50% more to fix an unintended circumstance. The last factor was the auto trans. In the summer of 2011, post-tsunami, the selection of cars was very limited. Also at the time, it was my daily driver, and I justified the auto trans for commuting purposes. It was my first and last sports car with an auto. I'm waiting to see what the Z35 concept looks like in October - if it indeed will be debuted - to decide to wait for it, or just jump on a 2017/2018 Nismo. Since selling the Z, I've stalked the Porsche and Corvette forums, and just can't catch the vibe of those owner groups. I made some of my best friends through ownership of my Z and miss the camaraderie. I look forward to getting back into the Family.

 I love the Z and all, but that's on another level.

I'm 66 and drive a Z! Of course it's my fun car, not my primary driver. I've been driving sports cars since the '60s. I didn't like muscle cars back then in their heyday and I certainly don't like them now. Who cares how fast a car is in a straight line? That's why drag racing will never be as popular as Formula 1. A Challenger? A Chrysler product? You have to be kidding me.

). 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.
