Z owners age

BrianMSmith · 12-29-2009, 01:47 PM

39 y/o, homeowner, 3 kids :10, 7, 2. Thankful that I saved my money when I was in my 20's.....I drove a hot rodded Camaro SS for 8 years, so this is my first real sports car, though the SS did a fair imitation.

The wife drives the 8 seat Outback kid/bike/hobby hauler, I had to buy the family car first to accomodated the new child, so my sports car had to wait another couple years, and I'm glad because the 370Z was worth waiting for. I thought about a Corvette, but simply too expensive when you have the Z as an option.

I also cause trouble on my old Ducati 748S when I get the chance.

The wife, age 35, never worked, but is just starting school for her new mid-life career in a couple years, so I am looking forward to quintupling my discretionary income, getting a vacation home, and taking advantage of my 7 weeks of vacation (earned after 15 years of employment) to enjoy the Z and other hobbies...road trips through eastern Oregon, 120 corners in 12 miles, that sort of thing. I never had the time or the money until the last few years....

Good luck!

19 - purchased my G35 (w/ a little help from my mom for the downpayment)
21 - purchased '91 300zx
23 - purchased my Evo X - also happened to write it off soon after
24 - sold G and used my evo moneys towards the Z

I'm 66. Purchased a new 370 mostly because it is 40 years since I got my 240. I figure to stay in the 370 till it is too hard to get in and out. So far no problem at all.

Zsteve · 12-29-2009, 02:02 PM

So it looks like the Z is a car for all ages then. Thats a good thing as it can be appreciated by all ages.

DJ_TJ · 12-30-2009, 09:56 AM

mototrmpt · 12-30-2009, 10:10 AM

48. My previous z was an 84ZX turbo right out of college.

My other hobbies include an 04 Aprilia Mille Factory Race bike, and an 04 Aprilia Mille street bike. I like to call them my twins.

Oh yah...I also have a wife and two teenage daughters.

darkROAM_1 · 12-30-2009, 10:07 AM

Meh, 25 in a few days and a single loser for most of it. That has nothing to do w/ my car since it's more about the joy of driving for me. I can barely afford the car so yay me! ^_^

JakeZ34 · 12-30-2009, 10:47 AM

I'm 18 and currently working for Wells Fargo as a banker
and NO my parents did NOT pay for anything on my car, I been saving up for a 350Z since I was 12 and I was able to put my own down payment and insurance. Everything on my car is all my own money and not spoiled by my parents at all.

Bought it when I was 18, dad cosigned for me, been making payments since. I'm 19 now. I work at a Honda, Yamaha, Polaris and Suzuki dealership as a parts manager and I have been here for a bit over three years now. Oh the Titan was half sponsored by daddy, he paid half and so did I, but the Z has been my credit builder as now I have refinanced and it is totally in my name. (Local bank with family friends in high places)

I don't drive my Z as much as I would like since I'm at work most of the time and going to college full time but hopefully next summer I will find some time to go put some road course miles on it since that was my whole intention with the car anyway.

Push370zzz · 10-27-2010, 04:04 PM

I'm 20, full time student, and work full time for myself. Parents got me about whatever I wanted in HS, but after graduation told me to goto hell when I wanted the Z. Started my own business and bought her myself

Road course is the place to be with this car, gets expensive though. I went out my first time just for fun in mid september and have been 3 times since already....cannot get enough.

21 I work hard for what I have, mommy and daddy didn't even buy me my first car. Had to go get a job to buy that v6 Mustang. It was a excelent parenting choice, taught me the value of a dollar.
