Finally!!!

It has been over 30 years since I had my last Z, a 280ZX Turbo. I brought my new 2020 Z home last night. Pearl White and a MT. Traded in a C Class that my wife hated. The Z rides just as well and she likes it better. Unfortunately, she also has a better view of the speedometer.

Congrats on the ride!

And what hurricane? Dorian? It’s not gonna hit Tampa, and at most, we’ll get a few showers at best.

dave11,

Congratulations on the new ride!!!! Welcome to the forum!

Like you, I've had my share of Z cars, a 1971 240z, an 1984 300ZX, a 1990 300Z (owned that one 27 years) and my present 2016 370Z Roadster.

There just aren't many other cars that come close to giving you the same feelings as a Z car, or that my 6' 3" frame fit in.

axmea? · 09-03-2019, 12:24 AM

PW MT FTW! Congrats.

Quicksilvers · 09-03-2019, 12:43 AM

Welcome to the 370Z forums. Congratulations on your 2020 Z post up some pics if you can. I don’t blame you for trading in your Mercedes Benz C class I would have did the same.

dave11 · 09-03-2019, 11:00 AM

I am working on the pics. I've never done this before. It is going to be like teaching an old dog new tricks.

And yes, I know "this thread is worthless without pics".

Because of Dorian, the insurance agent won't cover the car until after the threat of loss has passed. She said maybe Thursday or Friday.
