I have owned a long list of cars by now, only two of which can really be considered 'sporty' -- the 1970 Opel GT and 1980 Mazda RX7. Other cars came close, but these two were the only honest to God 2-seaters with more fun than practicality in mind.

I have been drooling over Z's since the 300Z came to the US in the mid 80's. How did I get along without one? Easy. Motorcycles. In spite of the fact that my daily driver had to be practical, what with having to drive around small children and all, I have dabbled in bikes for years. I am a card carrying member of the Iron Butt Association and spend well above average time on a 2-wheeled intercontinental ballistic missile every year.

I am hoping that The370Z.com forum provides me with the information and support I need to find the right Z and enjoy it to the fullest.

Thanks for listening... Mackeroni
