remembering the time when i dreamed of owning a Z

Aardwolf · 10-23-2014, 03:23 PM

I wanted my Z since high school, when the 350Z's were out. Then when the 370Z debuted, it improved on everything I liked about the 350. There was no way I could settle for a 350 so 5 years later, countless hours spent drooling at thumbnail pics and opinionated posts on this forum, and the frugality of an oyster, I'm in z-club. For me, the car is and will remain a classic. The lines, the stance, the uniqueness synergize to elicit emotion like a car 2 or 3 times the price point. I go look at my car at least once a day while I'm at work to confirm it is as I left it, and to generally lift my mood. Not too many cars out there can evoke this quality of life.

i remember i used to look at photos of the 370Z nights after nights. my heart ached everyday just dreaming to own this car. i think this iteration of Z will age very well, unlike how people thought it wouldn't when it first came out. I don't think any other japanese cars capture the original DNA and heritage this well as the Z.

I remember the first time I saw the 300z, I had to go touch it. I said to myself that one day I will own a Z. I have a 09 and still people give the thumbs up when they see this car. The other day a guy ran up to me and asked if this was the new Z, I told him it was a 09 and he couldnt believe it, I thought, maybe, he just got out of jail.

Ha, I get that all the time. Mine is an 09 and people think it's brand spanking new.

Well it is a baby, got her with 22k miles on it. She's still a youngster
