Ha ha! Right on!!!

I remember them. A buddy of mine had a Monte Carlo that had them.

The Chevy Laguna S3 had a swivel seat on the driver's side. I thought that was pretty cool... :tup:

I would need the jaws of life to extract me from your car. :icon17:

Actually, I’d never be able to get in to begin with so, crisis averted. :tup:

LMAO, I have lost 20 pounds just to have a chance to get in and out of the car. I actually practice doing it so that people don't laugh to hard at me.

I turn 50 this year and that simple 1" drop feels like a 6" drop on my sore knees. Doesn't stop me though.

So you also do the thing where you kind of fall out of the seat and then roll your way to a standing position?

Age to own Z
 

I am 83 and still making mods to my 2013 Z. Age is a state of mind. You want to be old, act old. Be young, at least in mind, do your own thing. I am probably the oldest Z owner on this forum. And really enjoy living the life that I live while I can.

You are the man!!!!! You got to be one cool cat Mr. Nighttrain! I bet you played or play a saxophone in jazz band.

My guess is Mr nightrain is a guns n roses fan or a Harley guy.

:iagree::iagree:

After 22 years as a combat air crew member in the Air Force (3 Vietnam tours),
and 20 years working for a aerial survey company, I spent the last 19 working for a Harley dealership. And yes had several Harleys. Would still be working, but covid shut the dealership down. So forced into retirement. Guess it was time. Been working since I was 12 years old.

Amazing and you still like to play..... thanks for you service in Vietnam
:tiphat:

Had a 06 G35, ‘10 G37, and now a ‘14 370Z I got in 2019. At 45 I’m having fun with the Z and it doesn’t break the bank!

My respects Mr Nightrain. Thank you for your service.

My wife grew up in Las Cruces and my son went to the university there. Welcome!

My uncle was a navigator on BUFF during 'Nam.

:tiphat: sir.

You've been productive your entire life, and I salute you for that. Now it's time for you to enjoy life to the fullest. Thank you so much for your hard work.

I believe there is something to this. If you just quit and get cars that are easier to get in/out, then you're going to get older faster. You need to do little things every day that keep you limber and keep up your muscle and giving up one thing after another will just make you old and tired.

That's awesome Nightrain. Thank you for your service.

I'm not a Facebook fan, but caved in after coaxing to try Facebook Marketplace to get rid of an old hottub. Wow, it's active. It didn't sound like you were quite ready to retire so if you're ever bored, throw on an ad in FB Marketplace for your HD services and I bet you'll get the chance to turn some wrenches again. Plus, you get to take jobs as you want or pick and choose the ones you want.

Best luck to you.

You are only Old in your Head. You are never to old to enjoy life so Enjoy your Z. I am 62 and loving it every second I drive it. Is my Toy car for the Weekends only.😎

Who cares about what society thinks/dictates as "too old" for anything?

F*ck what anyone thinks, and you do you. The good thing about the Z is that it's a very universal and is an all-age friendly vehicle, and gets better with age.

^ Agree.

I don't give a fvck what people think about me. I do what I want. Too many people live their lives based off of other peoples ideas of them.

I hope NOT!!!! I am 68 years old and still love my Z. I have to admit, I don't drive it as aggressive as I used to but on occasion, like almost every day you just "need" to!!!!:driving:

60 years here, and daily'd my '16 MISMO until about 6 months ago. Now I daily the beater and run Mitzee about once a week. You're only too old if you FEEL too old!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9095e9a52.jpg

67 next month. :tup:

On a side note, be nice AND listen to older people. Their experience may be your survival guide.

I've got you by 8 years. Bunch of damn kids in this thread :tiphat:

When I bought my Z in 2014 I wanted one last fun car. I figured I would drive it for a few years and then trade it for something sensible. The hell with that! Now I'm thinking this might well be my last car.

There is something about the Z that keeps people drawn in. If someone sells their Z, seller's remorse usually kicks in soon after and there is a good chance they will come back later down the road.

sounds like me, but I'm turning 70 in april, a bit behind you... :tiphat:

Old is a state of mind… much like insanity. :icon14:

Get off my lawn!!!:rofl2:

Sorry. My aging eyes didn't see the property line.

Aww, who am I kidding? I've never really been fond of boundaries :hello:

Am I too old...
 

I originally responded to this post a long time ago but I saw two emails on the subject this week. They make me smile because I still use the car as my daily driver and have no plan to replace it. It has been surprisingly reliable and requires little maintenance. The biggest expense has been tires.
We live in a semi-retirement community and I venture that only about 10% of the people who live here could even get in it much less drive it. I can vouch for the idea that it helps keep you young even if you don't drive it hard. It's all about lookin' good makes you feel good..

I liked my MT 2018 so much that I bought a 2019 to see if an auto transmission version would drive differently. It does but I like them both and kept them both. I use each of them every other year during the spring-summer-fall season and plan to keep them both until I die.
