Well you may be on your last leg, but you have good taste!

Check out Dope if you haven't already.

I'm 66 and can't get the grin off my face every time I get behind the wheel. Get that Z and drive it like you stole it.

Heck no you are not too old for a Z!

My dad is 73 and he bought himself a BMW Z convertible with a manual tranny last spring. He loves it. Almost as much as I do my two Nissan Zs.

BTW I tried to get him to look for a Nissan roadster, but he was set on getting a BMW.
