Graduated in 2000. When I was 16, my dad bought a used '90 Z32-TT auto (still owns it). I didn't know much about Nissan back then since it was all about Honda. However, the car I was learning on was an '87 200SX SE-V6 (S11 Silvia), which I didn't know much about either. We did find an immaculate '94 Z32-TT manual with very low miles, and the owner wanted $23k for it. I would've loved to own it, but I wasn't mature enough to handle and care for one. Although the owner wanted us to test drive it, neither of us knew how to drive a stick and I was still a noob at driving. I did envy the guy who had a fully kitted 300ZX ("rich" parents), and he was picking up girls at my school (he attended a different school).
Anyhow, popular imports at the time were the rare Type-R Integra, S2000, and Civic Si. There were lots of Honda fanboys, and I was a wannabe since I didn't know much about cars. Dad's Z32 changed my perception. That's when I learned of the RX-7 and Supra.
So back then? Nissan all the way baby.
