Local doctor had one. :tup: I actually got to drive it. :driving:

30 and i've had it since i was 23.

Oh my mom has one as well. She's 60.

39...getting up there 😳😳😳😳

56 here. Fun car and it brings a smile every drive.

I bought my first Jap car in 2000, a 200SX (240SX to the US - but had a proper engine, the CA18 DET was effective shortened RB26)

Heavily modified

Then acquired a Z32 TT which I still have and a 370z Roadster

It’s in bits at the moment so not pic worthy. But it is Black and a Manual

I purchased my Z brand new back in October of 2009 when I was 36 years old. I've taken a lot of crap over the years from friends and family:
1. "So now that you're getting married, are you gonna get rid of the Z?"
2. "So now that you're buying a house, are you gonna get rid of the Z?"
3. "So now that you're having a baby, are you gonna get rid of the Z?"
4. "So now that your older son is going to college, are you gonna get rid of the Z?"

As if to imply it was just a phase in my life that I really couldn't afford.

Now that I've reached my late 40's people have stopped giving me crap and asking me stupid questions, but I'm sure passer bys look at me and think mid-life crisis. I really couldn't care less though. Its my car, I enjoy it and don't need to explain myself to anyone. Life is too short to worry about what others think especially those who really don't know you.

Just my $0.02

I got that from my ex girlfriend, didn’t stop her taking the car out to visit her friends though

I learned to drive a stick on a 71 240Z and I've wanted one ever since. It took til 2013 to get my 2012, but I've been around the Z for years. Got to drive a RHD one in Japan (Z32), worked on my son's 93 Z32 (engine swap after oil pump failure) and now I'm on my 2nd Z34. I'll be 245 years old this fall...:rofl2::rofl2:

As you found out, that is because you had the wrong one. Keep looking.

I have, but I was a complete arse to her. Going to keep trying

Soo many variables...
My friends have all said my Z "looks" like me; which at 57 I take as a compliment. Its typically true that you can spot the owner of certain vehicles in a crowd, especially niche vehicles. In the OP case I would wonder if the car fits the owner

I am 33 but got my Z at 31. But seriously, forget what they think! Age is not what it used to be...it is in many aspects simply just a number. People are always going to have an opinion on someone being "too old for" or "too young for" something. It's your life! As long as you aren't harming anyone, then live it exactly how YOU desire. I think the Z is for anyone who has a passion for it. Whether you're that 15 year old teenager saving up and dreaming of one day getting your Z (that was me), or you're an established 75 years young, enjoying the fruits of your labor, you are more than welcome. I think that is what makes our Z community so special; the community so effortlessly bridges generational, social, gender, economic, and racial gaps. It removes all the b.s. that often separates us and allows us to simply relish in our common passion. I've gotten many different responses. I've hand strangers roll their eyes at me. The other day I had a dude literally take out his phone in the parking lot of a grocery store and flash a picture as I walked up to my Z, and then compliment me saying, "Nice car! My brother is into Z's". And I've even had friends question my decision on buying a Z, as their mustangs, bmws, and benzs suck their money into an endless repair pit. So I end this novel simply to say...Just do you man and forget about their b.s.!

The one that cracks me up is the small penis syndrome. :rofl2: One of my other vehicles is a Power Wagon that sits high. I get the small penis thing all the time. :shakes head: Then they shut up once they see how much meat I'm packing when I step out of the truck. :rofl2:

"It is a simple natural phenomena that a river can flow from elevated place to lower level & not vice versa. A wise person in higher level can only pass on the benefits to others at lower level. A person at lower level has no other ways, except to accept his status unconditionally, but because he cannot digest this fact, he starts criticizing a person at higher level."

I don't know. A 1000ft tsunami flows up hill a long way. :icon14:

And Paul Walker, who loved his Jap cars spent a lot of his money trying to help people in Tsunami and earthquake hit areas. What a top guy

'85 300zx around 25, '90 300zx and '06 350z around age 30, got the 370z at 34, and am 37 now. So far no comments on mid life crisis from friends or family.

I just like Z cars and I like the community. Lot of great people here.

Let's be honest, It's not like the Z is a Corvette in terms of age stereotypes.

Although I could see myself in a C7 Z06 in the future, mainly because I have a death wish on the track.

I live in a 16 house development and there are three guys on this block, all 70+ who have corvettes.

I think the key difference is that I will likely throw advans and a voltex wing on the Vette as soon as possible to establish what kind of person is driving it :rofl2:

so happy that my dad saw a C8 and said pass. he's a big vette guy think hes had 8 of them all before me of course lol

now he keeps looking a huracans.

told him its the right move. wait til he's over 60 before he goes back to a vette lol

I'm 35, always wanted to own a 300zx back when I didn't have a job or the money in the 1990s as a young teen. Ended up buying my first 2014 370Z last year.

Cars I've owned in the past, '98 Honda Civic, '08 Nissan Versa and my current daily driver '10 Mazda 3 hatchback.

I’m on my 3rd Z.
300ZX
350Z
370Z.
I’m 43 years old.

I’m 42, on my second G37 coupe, and expect my next Nissan product will be a Z. Does that mean I’d be going backwards getting the sportier model when I’m older? :icon14:

I can't speak from experience because I'm 29, but I don't think I would give a goddamn about what people think about my cool sports car when I am 62. What do they expect you to drive? Something lame? My dad is 61 and just restored a '65 Chevelle his own way, blue rims and everything. Do whatever you want. I wouldn't think twice about talking to an older Z owner about our cars, probably would have a lot more of an interesting conversation than with some older guy getting into his minivan.

pretty much what everyone on here has said rings true - do you enjoy the vehicle? Does it bring a smile to your face when you drive it? If so - don't worry about what others think and enjoy the drive (not many cars out there now days that check a lot of the boxes for enthusiasts like the Z does).
I'm 44 and this is my second 370z - like I tell most people - it's not a stoplight monster like a Mustang or Camaro but it is a fun responsive balanced car that looks better than most sports cars (even after 10yrs). Have fun and enjoy it :)

61 year old here, sold my 13 z sport 2 1/2 years ago, now have a 17 Long Beach Blue BMW M2 for 3 years. Did some mods on both, which included the exhaust. When young guys with modded or sports cars about your age, see me coming out of my cars, they freak! In a good way and we always have nice conversations about cars.

Yea, when I climb out. They always expect a younger person. :rofl2:

Amen. I was in Hawai'i during the late 80s & early 90s, when there were some 'issues' with some of the locals and service people. :ugh2: Some of the military guys were getting 'adjusted' by some locals. :bowrofl: Any way, I was coming out of a bar on Kuhio late and was heading to my car (78 Vette) when I was surrounded by a group of very large local folks. They were giving me crap all the way to my car, then when they saw the car it was like,'Brah...that's a cool car'... :tup: Then I was cool.

I was with my future wife in Maui sometime in 83 - 85 and it was the vacation from hell. Everything from lost luggage, to having the plane turn around due some guy having a heart attack somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. The Airline had to put us up for the night and stuck us in this fleabag motel. We had nothing to eat and they told us to get in the buffet line at the wedding that was going on.

But the worst part was my wife wanting to go to this cheesy lua. As we were walking in this chubby native starts busting my balls about my long hair, and calling me a faggot, etc. etc.

When they finally came out with that disgusting pig, I refused to eat it. my New Pal came over and got in my face. I nailed that fat fucker square across his jaw. he didn’t go down, but I staggered him enough that he left me alone.

Wasn’t worth the 4 bones I broke in my hand, but we still laugh when we tell that story to anyone who tells us how great Hawaii is.

The creaking, cracking and grunting should be clues enough! :hello:

That's only when I get out of my lazyboy. :icon14:

Hawaii can suck a ****. My best friend from hs and college went on his honeymoon there and their rental car was broken into and their wallet/purse stolen what a way to start a marriage. He said the locals all were racist ******** to any white person. Don’t hate cause while this country was busy splitting the atom and developing modern mass production y’all were busy carving coconuts.

Could have been worse. My brother got married had the do and then found out his marriage license had expired and had to get married again the next day
