370Z as my only car? Owners please chime in.

Of COURSE it can be your only car! When I was somewhat (ahem...) younger than I am now, I bought a new 1973 Datsun 240Z as my only car, and was my only car for several years. I was in the Navy, and lots of the aviators in my squadron had Zs, or 911s, or 914s, or MGBGTs, or the like. (The MG might have had back seats, I cannot remember...) Even put three of us (including me, the driver) in the Z for a weekend at Lake Tahoe while we were on a detachment at Fallon Nevada NAS (about an hour from Tahoe) The guy in back did not complain much at all. (but as I mentioned, we were somewhat younger...) After I was discharged, I moved across the country and everything I owned fit in that car. Including some serious WestPac stereo equipment. (Sansui Quad Channel Receiver and all....:-) Then I worked in Southern California, where as some of you may know, if you're young and single and don't drive a sports car, then you ain't sh***t!

Then when you marry the girl of your dreams, you still can use your Z as a daily driver for work, grad school, and then a career in sales in the tech industry.... Who needs more than 2 seats! (if you do, let someone else use their boring sedan...)

I still have that 240Z too. (I'm am finally starting the "frame up" restoration) Plus a '93 300ZX. And we have just replaced the family minivan ('96 Caravan with 240,000 miles) with a new Murano. And the "kids" now have cars of their own, (2 Mustangs and a WRX).

Moral of this windy post: you can ALWAYS use and keep your 2 seat sports car - especially if it is a Z!

(who wants a 370Z, but will probably have to wait until the Social Security checks start arriving.... pretty soon now :-)
