Rare and exotic are two different things. Relatively speaking, our car is definitely rare.

Not many, maybe one every few weeks and its always like "omg, there goes another one" lol

Even in our VQ Club I'm often the only 370, if its not a car meet...its rare. That must be why when I am next to a Porsche at a stop light, I get more looks. True Story.

VERY true! just like having a COOL car, and a PRACTICAL car... A BMW M5 is a COOL @$$ car just like a Z is a Cool car, but if you have a family which one is the most practical? THAT is why the Z is not seen as much as a lot of other cars, 2 seaters are NOT a car that a "responsible" set of newlyweds that plan on having a family would think about buying, I've outlined my reasoning on this subject so many times on this board that i'm not even going to go into it again, its very obvious "when" and "why" you can afford to buy and daily drive a 2 seater, lol.

Ya thats a BIG factor, especially in this area where most people store their Z for 4-5 months a year. Not everyone wants or can spend 35-40K on a car that can take one passenger, drinks gas and use 70% of the year.

I'm lucky, I talked my wife's ear about this Z so much that although we had a huge wedding and have a 5 month old son now...selling the Z is NOT on the table

The Z is 100% rare. I travel a good amount and trust me I try to spot them and don't see many or any at all. I do see many 350z's though.
