How could I be having $20K-$60K more fun with another car?

Sweet.

I think my post will pale in comparison to a lot of the other posts on this thread, but the Z is so different from any car I've had that I'm noticing that I think it's changed me....and I just had to mention this.

So this morning, my very dramatic and kind of negative teenage daughter, misses her bus and needs a ride to school. Normally, I'd be slightly pissed (her school is the opposite way from my work), but then I think it's just a little longer time I get to drive the roadster.

So we get in, I drive to the school and drop her off. Once that's done I:

1. Put the top down.

2. Put an Eagles CD in with specifically this playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imhDevlc9OM

3. And then take a leisurely speed, while other cars zoom past me to get to their workplace.

Sometimes there are gentle sunny days in Indiana that remind me of when I was a kid in California. (BTW, growing up in CA in the 70's was magic...not sure about today though.)

I know that a LOT of people are taking prescriptions for various things...anxiety, depression, and so on. I can tell you that having the Z the past six months has relaxed me and put a smile on my face almost daily. And this morning was a perfect example.

One of the best and healthy purchases I've ever made.

You and I are close in age and growing up in California is nothing like it was when we did. I let my nephew (nine) outside to play while I watched over him. I had a loaded rifle near by. I still received criticism as he was alone 60-80 feet from me. I walked miles from home at his age.

I have no regrets buying my Z either. It is a stress reducer.

kenchan · 08-22-2013, 09:40 AM
