fun... cool...

represents an empty wallet

In no order: it turns more heads than a set of cheerleaders, setting still it looks like it can do a 150, oh wait it can! and everyone can relate to this one.
i never ever get tired of pushing in that little red button...

and in its class which i define as a 2 seater sports car. hands down best bang
for your buck. sorry to ramble but to me this is important. i'm at 33,100
and no RATTLES..............:driving:

wife and I are Z people, garage just doesn't seem complete w/o one in there.

:iagree: Couldn't have said it better!

A piece of history. This 370z is a combination of speed, handling and power. Its elegant design makes it the most unique-affordable cars on the market.
Beauty in its heritage. From its birthname "Fairlady Z" to the transitional 240z all the way to the Fairlady Z34. Nissan has created a true sports car concept and heritage which makes me proud to own one.
Natural transition. Coming from the Skyline heritage fairlady was the next obvious step.
Freedom. There's something about a Z driven on a spring day with the windows down and my wife on my side. Or just taking this car on a track and taking it to the limit. It feels like nothing else in the price range.

This car means something different everytime I get in one. I just love Z/Skyline heritage.

My Z beats me and steals my money out of my wallet. :crying:

Is it your daily driver?

So true!! Lets see in the last two weeks: Post MAF tubes, K&N drop-ins, AAM short tails, Stillen front lip, 3/4 tank of gas each week... I get a reprieve this week while it is getting painted.

for me it is

The work put into the Z just reflects me, the personality and style. [shrugs]

:iagree: QFMFT

I seriously don't want to spend anymore money on this car. Doubt I'll be able to sell it either if need be unless someone would trade for a good condition '07+ TSX and pay off the loan. :p

:iagree: I see at least 4 mustangs and 3 camaros everytime I go to work. I can't say the same for the Zs.

^^^^

Ditto.

The car that came in second for me, a Challenger is even starting to get more mainstream now.

I love driving down the road and never seeing another 370. I also like how nobody knows what it is.

:iagree: I see at least 40 Toyota Camry and 200 pedestrians everytime I decide to go to work. I can't say the same for the Zs.

I hope someone sees this and comes up with his/her own version of doink statement haha

My Z means just about everything to me. Im absolutly in love with this car. I love its sleek, sexy lines. I love that I dont see one EVERYWHERE I go. I love its performance. I love the attention it generates. Most of all I love the smile it puts on my face day after day. Its almost impossible for me to put into words how I feel about this car.

Snazzy cheap commuter ....that I can drive on the track.

I'm not overly in love with styling of this Z but its a solid value and a car I'm not afraid to park in a big lot and get occasional door ding. It's a nice throw away sports GT car that i can rack miles up on beat on the track and not feel bad like i did driving more expensive sports cars. I feel much more comfortable using this car as a daily driver than my past Porsches. When I drove Porsches I was always paranoid about door dings, etc. the Nismo is just good cheap fun!

Honestly, I have kept track and there has NEVER been a single week that someone has not smiled at me, mentioned the car or given me a thumbs up sign!
The only time that has not happened is during the winter when I dont do much driving...

A reminder why I don't want to have kids.

It represents compensation for my genitalia.

Why not keep the more expensive "Porsche's" and just buy a used Z as a DD? Your comment sounds pretentious IMO. Especially that once you owned any car more than 3 years you stop givin a hay about dings n such. Especially since a porsche depreciates faster than I can take a Sh1t compared to other high priced sports cars.

Hell I dont dare tell my wife I just scraped both wheels and its going to cost me $350 to get them repaired PLUS the original tires dont last that long and it looks like in spring I will need to replace them ..another $1200...! Anybody got a place I can lay low for a couple of weeks next spring!

Is Porsche the highest in the automotive food chain you've climbed? If so, I'm puzzled as to why you'd refer to a ~$30-$40k+ car as a "throw away" and a "cheap commuter." A person who owns Ferraris would at least be financially-proportional to those claims if not patronizing... But a Porsche driver, who are you kidding?

Fun to drive
 

Great car. I only have 4000 miles after a year. My weekend car. I had a 1978 280z which was stolen in Bridgeport Ct in 1983 and prior to that an E-Type Jaguar.

The 370z represents an practical sports car with a guilt free price.

My dream cars however would be an E-Type Jaguar coupe with modern electrics and fuel injection or a Porsche 911 4S.

After driving a Hyundai Veloster, I'm not sure what the Z means to me anymore???
:eek:

Trading my car in for one sometime soon, and it will represent the same thing that this does. An escape from reality when I want to go cruising after a bad night at work, a symbol to myself that I am not living in my parents garage, and a piece of machinery that I thoroughly enjoy. I like things like guns, watches, etc. Find joy in technology.

All about mindset. My G20 is a throw-away car to me, but I maintain it and keep her running because she has utility. In some other countries, the president/ruling person would consider it his Airforce 1, lol.

Mindset and circumstance.

im going to be sharing the same car as the importcovert?

time to sell the Z... :icon17: haha

:bowrofl: that is IF he ever actually BUYS one.

Was buying today but the other dealership said the car was sold. Only one like it in the nation :( still, its 11 and the tsunami did hurt production. I'm not too surprised.

i think heard the french guy say on cnn he will be in full production by year end. :tup:

oh wait, that's :ugh2: in our case...:icon17:

The wife and myself worked our asses off since we got married. Put 2 kids through school. We've been married 37 years this year. I told her, prior to our 35th, that if we made it that long, I'd buy her a "sports car" and we'd drive Route 66. She saw a black cherry 370Z in a Nissan dealership in Florida, while visiting her mother. She fell in love with it. She said she'd never seen a car like it before. After looking at BMW's, Mazda Miata's, Corvettes, etc., she still wanted the 370Z. Had one hell of a time finding a black cherry one, but did a dealer trade from Indiana. Took delivery in April of 2010. Drove route 66 in August of 2010, our anniversary. I think she loves that car more than me!

that is an awesome story! congrats. :tup: :tup:

True, but I would argue that your mindset and ability to abandon the value of a ~$40k car would be limited by your wallet. In my opinion, I don't think owning a Porsche creates enough monetary distance between a 370Z to entitle someone to bill it as a "cheap commuter."

It depends on if they own a Porsche and live in a shack, or own a Porsche in a garage next to a Veryron situated on a nice $20M Estate.

Any way you slice it, nothing should truly be viewed as throw-away unless you soon want to find yourself wishing you hadn't.

Absolutely, that's why I have a lot of respect for the people who keep something like a 1995 Accord in pristine condition. That mentality is a rarity.

I was inbetween sports cars at the time and it looked like the best thing at the time (Feb 09) and by golly if it wasn't getting "best of" in every magazine at the time :eek:

Do you respect my flawless (for its age) 2002 G20? :tup:

In 2009 the 370Z slaughtered everything it its market. No Camaro. Mustang was slower and handled way worse. There was just nothing near it. That was the time to buy one IMO, minor supposed rare issues aside.

Haha definitely, I don't see many of those these days.

Represents deciding to do something with my life and finally making something of my potential. Went from a punk kid firmly ingrained in Daddy's $, getting kicked out of college because I didn't want to work I wanted to party, to a more mature married attorney to be.

Moreover the Z is wonderful because it represents my youth granted 30 is sooner than later. My Z is extremely loud, stands out amongst a crowd and has its supporters and detractors. Just like me :)

And now your the370z.com's own personal lawyer :D
