What is your first Z memory?

/Angelo350Z/ · 07-17-2013, 05:37 PM

As a child in the late 80s, I saw a black 300ZX Turbo on the street for the first time. I wasn't even into cars yet so I had no idea what it was. It wasn't going fast, just making a left turn on a busy street and we were on the other side. The shape and lines of the car ignited my passion for the Z. In a sea of Tauruses and Accords, the Z32 took the prize. I've been in love ever since.

It would take another 20 years before I could finally own the car of my childhood dreams.

My dad drove an XKE and I wanted one as well. In no way shape, size or form could I have afforded one then, so I bought the Jap copy, a 1978 280Z. A wonderful decision that has allowed me to have a Z story every day for more than thirty years.

Thank you Mr K.

Went to the lot with intent to purchase a 350, but was swayed to the 370 with 10 miles on the odometer. During the test drive I couldn't help but enjoy everything about it, especially the outward view with the triple gauges. Can't believe it has been three years already and I still enjoy it.

Loved the 240Z's back in the early 70s but couldn't afford one. In mid May of this year I was taking my my daughter in to get her Rogue serviced, got a look at the white NISMO sitting in the showroom and was hooked. Had to have it.
