50 or Older Z Owners Take A Bow

Who Knows · 03-18-2010, 08:00 PM

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?

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!"

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.
