50 or Older Z Owners Take A Bow

VCuomo · 03-18-2010, 01:35 PM

53 and really enjoying my PG coupe - so far it's been the best car I've ever owned!

IDZRVIT · 03-18-2010, 06:25 PM

Double nickel here. Bought my first car mag when I was 11 or 12 and have been hooked on cars since. Technically, the Z was my wife's treat to herself on completing her tour at KAF but she lets me think it's mine. She's a fine woman! The wife too!

Another Old Guy with Coupe---last car was JDM tuned Yellow Saleen SC
This is my second Z-Car, first was 260Z. I've had lot's of strong cars over
the years but this car is my favorite---Spaced wheels out, have springs
and adjustable upper control arms and rear lowers to go on when I can find the time. You just don't get tired of this car !!!

I'll be 55 in June. I've always loved cars. I learned to drive off road in a Meyers Manx dune buggy at age 14. I have always owned some type of performance car and hope I always will. 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

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

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

tommyguns · 03-18-2010, 08:57 PM

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.

...or worse yet a station wagon like my neighbor! I just shake my head every time he drives past, saying to myself "ughhh, how boring! What a waste! He just doesn't know what fun he's missing!"

DirtyDave · 03-20-2010, 09:48 AM

58 here. Sold my 04 Corvette for the Nismo. My wife said I was going to regret the decision but hey, she's been wrong before too. I like the Z much better, especially through the twisties.

Zaggeron · 03-18-2010, 08:30 PM

only 45 so I can't take a bow yet ... how about 3/4 a bow like the CEO of Toyota

kevin.z · 03-18-2010, 09:03 PM

to Dwight Frye: I agree! i think they are called "MILF" by us kids. haha
I am definitely going to drive a fairlady z when i am old.

Zsteve · 03-18-2010, 11:05 PM

So OP you need to add a poll to this so we can the the numbers.

Jack370Z · 03-19-2010, 01:46 AM

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...

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.
