Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I live a bit east of Seattle and for the last four years have been driving a Prius. I bought my last Prius (2010) in July 2009. Recently, I realized that driving stopped being fun. I did like 45 mpg, but the driving experience was boring.

So, this past Saturday (9/4), I test drove a 2010 370 (touring with sport package and navigation, 7 sp. auto) and fell in love. Years ago, I had one of the first 240Z's ever made (serial number 11035) and I drove that car for six years loving every minute. Since this is the 40th anniversary of the 240, it seemed that fate was telling me to get back to a Z.

Over the years I was active on a Prius forum and I know that this is an ideal place to learn and keep up to date. I have only clocked 250 miles on the Z so I won't pretend to review it. All I can say is that it is incredible looking (black with black leather), fantastic fun to drive, fast as hell, and the best cabin tech I have ever seen.

I have a ton of years driving sports cars (Porsche C, Triumph Spitfire, 240Z, MR2, and now 370Z) and my new Z is the best experience yet.

Glad to join!

Bob

Bob, congratulations and welcome. I can only imagine how much of a relief it is to be back into a sports car again and a Z at that! Well, now is time to enjoy the driving experience again. You'll find lots of great people here on this forum with tons of experiences and knowledge to share. Have fun and again, welcome back aboard the Z train!!
