Age of 370Z owners?

You know I was just thinking. When I got out of the Army in 87, yeah 87! I bought a brand new 87 300zx and got the sh*t from people then too. I was 23 and had traded in a 78 280z. You just cant stop that Z love I guess.

Ever hear of the expression "Once a man, twice a child"? It's a saying I came across years ago when living in the province of Newfoundland.

20 years of age, saved some money for about a year, paid a good lump sum and financed the rest through the in-house financing. Now I'm broke.

This is definitely a classy forum...people actually referencing material from Shakespeare.

From Hamlet, Act 2 Scene II, Rosencrantz says to Hamlet about Lord Polonius:

"Happily he's the second time come to them; for they say an old man is twice a child."

Turning 50 in November. Just a birthday present to myself. It's my 3rd Z, my first being a 1972 240 Z when I was 22. The color was that blue/silver, I put on a Bob Sharp air dam, true spoke wheels with knock off caps, blacked out head light lens, window tint, louver on the rear window and an a## kickin stereo. I wish I could find a picture of it and post it, she was a beauty.

Just turned 24, this will be my second brand new sports car. I never drove a beater/used car.

KillerBee370 · 07-15-2009, 11:51 PM

^^ Well that's a shame. You actually missed out on a few things. Since you never drove a beater you wouldn't know what I'm even talking about.

As for me, 36 here and this is my second "brand new" car that falls into a "sport" or "high performance" category. My 5th brand new vehicle so far (not counting my wifes new vehicles).

And for the record, I've had a number of "beaters" and a few "used but alright" cars.

codpet · 07-16-2009, 12:03 AM

I've driven rentals, I've not owned anything less than a new car.

If I drive anyone else's older car, I can't cope with how it handles, or how it accelerates.
