why did you buy the Z

I honestly never considered the Z until the 370 came out. I absolutely can't get past the styling of the 350. It looked like the back end was longer than needed. I like the 240-280Z models but not so much the 300. When I saw the first Car and Driver review of it (oddly they didn't comment on oil or brake issues lol) I knew I wanted it for my next car. So when I found out I was deploying last year I decided now was the time to get it. I went to the dealership before I deployed so i could take it for a test drive. What a blast! It reminded me of how my mr-2 felt. I also think i made the salesman crap his pants driving down a nice windy road lol! While deployed I started emailing dealers trying to find exactly what I wanted. Talk about tough, most would return my email with a Z that wasn't even close to what I wanted and all but 1 refused to talk price before I got home. I nailed it down before R&R so that once off the plane i went straight to the dealership and picked it up. I haven't looked back since and it's looks never get old and it is a blast to drive!
