My last car was a '04 G35 Coupe with the 6MT and Sport Pkg. I liked it and might have bought another had they not uglied them up. I still crawl underneath my cars and do my own oil changes and minor maintenance but I have to admit I'm a little sore from the contortions after wards these days. I still like a spirited drive in the mountains now and then and putting my foot into it for the first 4 gears getting on the freeway. And I still listen to loud rock and roll. If I ever had to buy a minivan or an old folks car like a big Buick you could just hang a tag on my toe and close the drawer.
Oh, a little advice for you youngsters, there are a lot of good looking women in their 40's and 50's and they uh....they still work just fine :yum:

For you children, Dwight Frye is an Alice Cooper reference. :tiphat:

And oh yeah Dwight, they call them "MILF's". Freudian issues?

50 here. Purchased it for a birthday present to myself. Oh to you young guys, you can do that when you get older and more established. It's my 3rd Z, my first was a 240 with a Bob Sharp air dam with knock off wheels and have been in love with a Z ever since.

- having sex?
- eating?
- spectator sports?
- sports cars and settle for a Hearse?

The preferences a person develops for certain things stay every bit alive in the senior years as they did when conceived earlier by that person. So why the more youthful folks of society ever assume this rediculous thought is beyond me...

You're absolutely right. At 18, I was cruising around in my Mustang, blasting Chuck Berry through the speakers. Today, at 62, I still enjoy cruising, now in my beautiful Z, still playing Chuck Berry singing Johnny Be Good! It was all so good then---and it's even better now! Go Johnny Go!!

I'm 60 and lovin' my new Z...it's my third one. Bought a '77 new had to sell it when my daughter arrived (only two seats). Found an exceptional '86 in '96 (only 62K on it). Sold it last year and bought the 370 this past Fall. WOW, it is a machine. It's almost scary fast and handles so much better than the Prelude my daughter had in college. I've had performance cars off and on over the years...Prelude, 442...can't remember them all but this Z tops them all. A parking security guard (he was about my age) actually saluted me as I was leaving the parking at the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC this past Monday. Guess he thought I was some sort of Jet Driver or something...lol. He had a big smile on his face...I seem to get that a lot lately. The 370 is a real head turner...

Nice gesture to take a bow, but whatever you do, please do not take a bow in front of Frost...lets just say he has "sticky fingers"

I seem to recall a poll of that sort a couple of months back. Showed percentages by some age levels. Let's look that one up first.
