Owners Age
 
I've been getting a hard time since I purchased my 370Z. I'm 62 yr old male and all I hear is, jealousy, but they say it like "you having a mid life crisis"? Without asking everyone to list their age, that would be way too many replies, is there a way to generate a survey so it's one reply but each person can log an age? Maybe someone could even make a survey outside this forum and give us all the link to hit and add our age. I think it would be interesting to see.

I think you can find a survey generator online and add the link here and those inclined could participate in your survey. It may end up having to be an age bracket per selection since I don't know if you'd be able to get that much options for that big of an answer pool.

I think there is already a thread on here with a poll. Let me search a bit.

You caught me before I could edit the link. That is just to the poll, fixed the links above.

I'll simply ignore those reactions/response...

they're just having a "Z-less crisis", simply as that

mrfulk 03-12-2020 07:18 PM

Thanks. I was hoping to see more in my age group. I guess if you're on this form and you've never went to that survey go out there and log your age, we'll see if it's up-to-date

You'll have to go with the 'vette crowd if you want to hang with more of the older folks. :)

I'm a Hunert and 2.
Nah. I'll be 57 this summer. It isn't a mid life crisis car, it's an "I can finally afford the kind of cars I want" car.

You're hanging around with the wrong people. I'm about your age and when I had my Z I got a lot of "nice car" and such but very few "mid-life crisis, huh?" remarks.

As with many on this site, it wasn't so much a mid-life crisis as it was finally being able to afford it.

Spooler 03-12-2020 08:35 PM

We have many older folks on here. A good bit of us have flashy Nismo 370z's also with turbo's. LOL Just be like a honeybadger, he don't give a fluck.

Haters are gonna always hate.

I've gotten both compliments and insults, both verbal and nonverbal. And at the end of the day, I am happy, and that's what matters. I am alive, have my dream car, part of the best online forum, and able to pay my bills on time - Can't ask for more.

I'm 34 BTW.

Rusty 03-12-2020 11:12 PM

I'm 64. I could care less on what other people think. Yep, I'm a honeybadger. I bought the car for me and not them. My daughter thinks that I'm on my 4th or 5th mid life crisis. :icon14: After I bought my Z. She bought a Z too. :tup:

MattZ034 03-13-2020 03:27 AM

45 and been told plenty of times it's a mid life crisis car. Having the roadster doesn't help.
I don't care what people think though, I love the car.

My Dad bought a Z32 because he had to have a faster car than my S13.

We have been a Nissan family because a Nissan Primera saved my mum and Dad’s life, head on collision. The truck driver behind said it was like slow motion, saw the ripple go through the Primera body

I really want to put a Sunny GTI-R engine into an Almera, but also want a Honda vtech engined ....

I used to have a Vette and wow, that crowd is too old for me 70+. I’m glad I have my Z Nismo now. I get thumbs up from everyone regardless of age. I’m 53 by the way.

My dream is to properly restore the Z32 and put it alongside the Nismo Z34 roadster

I feel like i'm part of the younger crowd on here. (29 tomorrow)
I was fresh out of highschool when these cars were released. I had my eye on one ever since. It has seriously been a dream to own, and other than the wet seat belts i haven't had a single issue out of it.

Yeah somehow water was getting in behind the B pillar and the belts were getting wet. It made the car smell like ****.
I took it back to the dealer 3 or 4 times before they figured it out.

"You'll know when I'm having a mid-life crisis... because I'll be dating your daughter."

Ultrakla$$ic 03-13-2020 10:39 AM

Owning a 370z is like dating a fat girl............its all fun and games in the sheets but you definitely don't want your friends to know or see you!!!

I get 'mid life crisis' comments and outright envy all the time. strangely, it's very often from someone driving a $60k suv? I'm like, it's a $20k nissan dude. if you want one just buy one.

anyways I'm 40.

Fuzzzy 03-13-2020 01:31 PM

You're 62 and worried about people saying "mid-life crisis"?

I was older than that when I bought my '14 new, but I got all my mid-life crises out of the way in my 30s & 40s.

I gave up caring much about other people's opinions even before that. If you haven't done that by age 62, I strongly suggest you consider getting started on it.

SOUTHZZ 03-13-2020 04:43 PM

Just my opinion:

The 370Z is overpriced for what the market is offering.

Besides,never accepted the "look".Typical Nissan. Start with a great design(looks good at all angles),them add stuff to make it look worse.
My 62'Jag E-Type ,perfect design.After--how can you add to "perfect"?

Need to go back to "out of the box" me says.

Lighter,balanced--cutting edge looks to the original.

Just sayin(So. expression I hate.

OxZed 03-13-2020 08:52 PM

47 here … and I tend to go through cars pretty often. A Z has been on my list since I tried to buy a '84 when I was 16 (unsuccessful). Finally got one in 2017.

Old Jags ain't house broken, and have electrics made by Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. Could never keep the smoke in the wires.

49 here. On my 5th Z.

StormWhite 03-16-2020 04:29 PM

I am 63 and wanted a Z ever since I saw a 240Z back in the day.

I used my mid life crisis to buy a Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle (always had performance bikes when I was younger).

Now I own the R1 and a 370Z. :tiphat:

Beautiful looking car. Had 2 friends that owned them. Both leaked oil, and the electrics were cursed. :rofl2:
