I said it's going to be awhile. While it was 7 months to the day. LOL Growing up, had a couple of 426 Hemi's, a 440 6 Six Pack, couple of Trans Ams (455 SD + 6.6) and a bunch of motorcycles. Retirement is 6 years or less. Depends on how well I do in the stock market.

:ugh2:

Glad you're dealing well with your loss, though.

Thank you. It was tough. You find out how short life can be at times. Here today, then gone in a few minutes. With that lesson, I want to make the most of what time I have left. My daughter is a big help. She tries to keep me from going overboard on some of the things I do. My bucket list. LOL She says it tough trying to raise a single parent. LOL

Now that my kids are 16 and 15, no more mini vans, I will let them drive the old Accord and I now have my Z.

Amen to that!

I think the Z has a very broad age appeal. The 240Z came out in 1970 so anyone born early/mid 50's who dreamed about getting a Z while they're in high school or college may think about finally getting a Z they loved when they were teenagers. I'm 50 and had a '83 280ZX and a '93 300ZX before I got my 40th Anniversary 370Z. It reminded me of the first generation Z's so I got it for sentimental reasons.

I'm 6 years old, literally. :)

Turned 74 last November. On warm summer days it's a toss up whether to drive the 370Z or jump on the 09 Harley Dyna Low Rider for a day in the wind.

I'm 23 this year and I'm glad that Z is loved by every ages! :)

We see plenty of 21-30 year olds bringing us their 370z to work on . :)

I'm 23, but can't afford a 370z yet.

It is a car I'd like to own in the near future. coupe, nismo, or roadster .?.?...

I'm 32. All my previous cars were used VWs. Once I could finally afford a new car, I test drove the new GTI and told the VW dealer to put me on the waiting list for the new R (R32). But the wait was too long. I thought, screw it, I'm going all out. The Nissan dealer was next door. And the rest is history.

People told me I was crazy to buy a two seater with a 2 year old and a 4 month old. I say they're crazy not to! :happydance:

I've always loved the Z, it was just never attainable before my 30s. I don't know how you 20 year olds do it.

29, first Z

I'm 27 and just got my 09 base sport 6spd. I love this car it reminds me a lot of my 91' 240SX which brought me a ton of great times.
