Another New Owner

OldGuy · 12-03-2009, 08:05 PM

Hello Everyone,
I'm "Old Guy," having just gotten a brand new red base 370Z coupe for my 62nd birthday! I may be not be the youngest guy here, but I am one of the most thrilled to own this wonderful car. I traveled 4 hours to get a "Black Friday" special deal and it was worth it---just the car I wanted. I've always loved cars and also have a beautiful classic Miata I've owned for 14 years as well as an Altima Coupe, which is my daily driver.
This Z is a thrill to own and drive. It is quietly powerful and quite refined. I have far more confidence in its reliability and trouble-free future that I would in a Porsche or Audi TT.
I'm not a tuner but I am buying after-market accessories like a spoiler, license plate frame, etc. to make the car personal to me.
I look forward to owning and caring for this wonderful car for the rest of my life. I'm sure it will keep me young at heart for many years to come!
I hope I can learn my way around this forum. I love cars far more than computers!

Woah, more than computers is a hard one for me to say.... Then again I work at a datacenter

Grats on the purchase, sir. You sill love it! I took mine on a nice road trip this last weekend and got EXCELLENT gas mileage and was a blast to drive the whole time!

Oh and have fun on that auto-trans. They did a great job on them for the 370 though I'm still in that "gotta have manual" age.

congrats and welcome dude! It's nice to see old guys on forums and owning a Z as well. Most of them (350Z Dudes) don't even go to forums, they just use it as a recreational car. But good to see you here and welcome to the community! Your heart is still boiling for sports car

and young of course!

Welcome and congratulations! You'll find good people both young and old enjoying sharing their Z experiences and knowledge. Now the fun really begins!
