What does your Z mean to you or represent?

Mt Tam I am

It means continuing with Datsun for 30 years. It means that sports cars can be practical daily drivers for years, not just before you settle down.

I have a different view of driving than a truck driver or econo driver. I want to get past anybody who wants to drive slower than I , and to pull over for anybody who wants to go faster than I. Sort of like the "Golden Rule": do unto others as you would have done unto you. which is a metaphor for my life too.

It means more to me than just this too. Perhaps I'll edit this later.

A boyhood dream...come true.

It doesn't give me attitude like the rest of the world. So I'm at peace when I'm in it.

It's like an achievement. I made sure my family had all they needed and some of their wants before I purchased my Z.

1st new car..... All the hard work added up to something.

I like it's phatazz and its aggressiveness.

USMCram

It's the culmination of all my 5 years of school and everything I've given for my country.

My first new car. My Dad had a 370Z so it was an awesome father/son commonality (besides genetics, haha). I've always admired the Z cars. I remember how happy I was to unlock the 350Z Concept Car in Gran Turismo when I was a kid. Little did I know I'd grow up and drive a 370. Also, my car is my girlfriend.

It puts things in perspective.

You have to work, and I work to pay for my hobbies. I went through a tough past 2 years personally and job wise and to know that it all helped pay for Jezzabelle makes it that much better every time I see her.

For a first new car at 23, it turned out ok if I say so myself.

My daughter thinks it's my "mid-life crisis". To me it's a toy, nothing more.

It will be my reward for focusing on what I wanted and getting it.

Something I'll say is all my own, and that I worked for.

because i can.

For me, sadly, it represents devasting loss. I absolutely loved my Z. It brought me joy every time I saw/touched/drove it. But in 2010 I lost my job, then my wife divorced me, and I lost everything including my beloved Z. I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to own one again. Those of you who know me know I have tons of vids up on YouTube from all my mods (I dyno'd everything and shared it with the forum). I can't even watch my own videos anymore. I get too choked up.

The thing about Z's is you can always get another one. I've had many,many Z's multiple 280zx, 300zxt, 350Z and now the 370Zs. I lost my 350Z when I got rear ended and didn't have the dough to get another one for 3 years. But, now I have a 370Z which is even better than all the others. However, I would own any one of my past Z's all over again. It's a very special bond.

You'll get another one. Just visualize what you want and how you would improve on it over your old Z (or and newer version) and before you know it.... you'll be lovin' a new Z remembering the good times in the old ones...
