It was definitely passion that turned into obsession. However now it's more back to passion. Originally I started off collection Z31's, then 300zx's in general, then pretty much all things Z. Went a little nuts and next thing I knew I had a huge collection. Then 5 years ago I went to med school and pretty much put my collection on hold. Since graduation I've resumed collecting but only to get my hands on a few 370z's. Now that I have my house and a room dedicated to my collection I just need to find the time to actually unpack and display them. Not sure I'll go back down the path of obsession again but I'm definitely not going to get rid of what I have either.

is that by Tomy Takara?

my wife got it for me while visiting Japan.... yodobashi camera or some store she went to. the nissan catalogs my pops-in-law picked it up at an actual nissan dealer in Japan.

Edited in Final Cut X, in, something like 10 minutes.

I asked for a life sized Z toy, complete with working engine and touring package. Sadly, Santa did not comply!

Seriously, I am either given a toy version of my cars or I pick on up. I have a 370Z, RX-* and MINI Cooper, all in various sizes displayed in my office.
