Growing up, I had a neighbor who had a 260z & 280z when they were new. Never thought too much about it, but thought they were nice. Then dated a girl in high school that had a ratty black 240z that had one of the worst over-sprayed & runny paint jobs I can remember & she use to go on & on how great her car was when I thought it was a total POS that felt like it was going to rattle itself apart going down the road.
Not the best of memories, but you asked for the first.
