I can't believe it's been 26 years since I last owned a Z(a 1969, rusty, but amazingly fun-to-drive 240). Now that I have one again, I wonder why I didn't

I can't believe it's been 26 years since I last owned a Z(a 1969, rusty, but amazingly fun-to-drive 240). Now that I have one again, I wonder why I didn't consider buying one sooner.
I ended up finding the 370Z due to a typo; I was DuckDuckGo searching for drivers for my AMD 280X (video card), and the "suggested correction" image results were, you guessed it, images of the 370Z! ![]() I was enthralled, and after a bit of investigation on the Nissan web-page (332 HP! Sexy, sexy little car!) - and buttering up the wife by taking her out for breakfast - she and I popped over to a Nissan dealership to test drive one. As we approached, I wondered, would she really be okay with me picking up a two-seater? It had to pass the CFO test - as all married men know. It turns out she loved the look, and after the test-drive - the Salesman gave us the keys and let us take it out on our own - she had a huge smile and said "just get it." She didn't have to ask twice. And now, a few weeks on, I can say I thoroughly enjoy driving this thing, especially coming from the Acura TSX 6-speed manual I had as my daily driver. Oh humble Z, you've come a long way since 1969! I look forward to learning all about the car: DIY section, here I come!
