What does your Z mean to you or represent?

First new car and the best car I have ever driven!!!!

I like it's phatazz and its aggressiveness.

USMCram · 11-28-2011, 11:34 AM

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

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.

another notch in the headboard.....or....garage door....or whatever...LOL

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 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.

kenchan · 11-28-2011, 12:41 PM

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.

a blast of a backroad cruiser

TheGreatOne · 11-28-2011, 02:21 PM

Heritage...loved all the Z's

Personally...accomplishment...working harder, making some good decisions to finally get something I've really wanted and thought I couldn't...as a car enthusiast...getting from point A to B in "whatever" doesn't excite me....the Z does it for me

A gift to myself for graduating college and getting the job i had been aiming for for 3 years. right now i dont have a family or kids, and there are very few times in life when you get to be selfish. this is one of them

A move from hectic experiences with European cars
