Default I can't believe I went 5 years without driving a Z.

I got my 1990 300ZX back 5 years ago when I was 18 years old. My Dad sold the car a couple months later when I started college.

When I graduated, I bought a 2008 Honda Civic. Great car... but just nothing special about it (and slow!).

I drove the Civic for 2 years and kept reminiscing about my 300ZX. After a few weeks of contemplating a 370Z, I bought one Monday.

Here's my prom picture:



Here's my current 370Z!

Yup, it was pretty fun in High School (the car was only $5,000 when I bought it). Having a 370Z at 23 years old is pretty cool too

I'm not sure, I just got a standard tint from the dealer when I bought it. I took the picture on my cell phone so I don't think the windows are that dark.

Sadly I don't have many pics of the 300zx. Here's another one though.

Congrats man! I have a 90 300zx too still. I loaned it out to my friend while he's working on his LS1 powered RX7. I should be getting it back next week. The 370z is a HUGE step up from the N/A 300zx. Both are fantastic cars, but I'd trade my Z32 for a Z34 any day. (Who knows, I might.)

Enjoy the new Z. But be careful. Cops in AZ don't mess around! (ask me how I know. )
