Yes I did. It's great.

I had a local mod shop do it. I used the new NavTool for the 2010 Z to provide the interface. I am sure it cost more using the mod shop I did (they generally do very high end sports car work), but the job is perfect. It is invisible (the NavTool is behind the dash, where it has to be according to the installers). The camera is mounted above and to the left of the license plate. All in all, it looks and feels like it was a factory option.

There's a certain age range where you can get in financial trouble because banks are willing to give you more money than you should probably borrow.

If you are very old -- who cares if you make a bad financial decision you're gonna die soon anyway and you can't take it with you.

If you are very young, banks typically won't give you enough money for you to get yourself in much trouble -- you basically have enough time to make up for it if you mess up.

So the very old and the very young are golden -- it's us middle aged fogies that have to be careful!

I rally enjoyed the 370z.

age is just a number, you're only as old as you feel. Drive whatever floats your boat. Sounds like your friend is the stereotypical porsche douchebag.

What catagory did I fall in

36 (m) with 3 kids. I have the GI bill for their college enough furniture to choke a horse no house but I'm military and move too often buy a house.

Driving a Z at 52 is not old. Driving a Toyota Camry, Cadillac, or Buick at 52 is old.

Nizmo0533 · 10-10-2010, 07:58 AM

for the Z you are not ! For the Evo yes!

The fact that you're asking these questions says you probably are too old for a Z. Buy a Camry instead.

KillerBee370 · 10-10-2010, 07:00 PM

I see guys a lot older than you driving Z's all the time. Stop being ridiculous.

SophiaZ · 10-10-2010, 08:29 PM

It's your car and your money! do what you please...
But the Z is an awesome car for anyone..except for 18-20 yr olds, and 60 year olds....sooo buy it very soon! HAHA
HAVE FUN!

shadow2k · 10-10-2010, 09:30 PM

Yes, you are too old for a Z. You should have to suffer in an old person's car, like a Caddy CTS-V Coupe.

Jack370Z · 10-10-2010, 10:07 PM

I hope you're not...I'm 61 and this is my 3rd Z...had a 280 (back in the 70's) just sold an '86 300 (had just over 200K) and lovin' my 370...git u one...you'll have a ball but get ready...people will tailgate you to try and figure out what the hell that good lookin' car in front of them is.

My age was the last thing I considered when I made the decision. But, I've always been a car lover from the old days of running my '64 Falcon Sprint on the strip down to my current car. You can see by my siggy this is my 4th two seather. BTW, I'm 59.

Jordo! · 10-10-2010, 11:30 PM

No, but you're definitely too old to care about what other people think.

Get the Z if you want one.
