Welcome to our family!

Congrats & welcome from another senior, living just a little south of you.I also had a 73 240Z, green with tan interior when I also lived in the NW GTA area. There's been a few mods over the years to the new ones.

welcome aboard, nice to have another old fart in the mix...we need to keep these young whippersnappers on a straight path....we've already made our screwups and have learned from it.

Guess this is the right place for me to post also. I'm older with a 2016 nismo in eastern Canada. Yes, it is stored for the winter. Great forums for anyone with questions about their z. Mine is Red and I do have a question. Can someone confirm that all Nismos in Canada are built with Nav and Bluetooth, the features that our friends south of us are calling a Nismo Tech? Thanks

Another old guy (60 years young) checking in. Just picked up a new 2018 magnetic black auto trans base model in September for a pre-retirement gift to myself (35 years of teaching Geometry as of next year and I'm going to "graduate" one final time!!). Agree with other posters that I feel it is an unbeatable car for the $. Still took 17 years to save up ( yeah, teachers salary) so I could pay cash and just drive it home. Looked at a bunch of possible choices over that time, but the 370 always captured my imagination and interest every time I saw one. A friend got one a few years back and I was hooked ever since. Hoping to add a set of forgestar wheels in polished copper, but may be awhile before I can swing 'em. Think they would really shine on the mag. black. My baby is tucked away for the Pennsylvania winter right now. Only got 750 miles on her before tucking her in. Sure looking forward to springtime. It is amazing how driving it does make an old fella feel a bit young again and so glad I finally have one to enjoy. Hope that all my fellow "old timers" are doing so as well!!!!

Yeah,im 69,,,found it works better if I take a Viagra before going for a spin.

Well, I guess I should chime in. I may be the oldest 370Z owner on this site. I will be 75 in a few months. The 370Z Sport Tech is my 6th Z. It still is a blast to get behind the wheel and feel that steady range of power and the design to handle it well. I hope that I still have many years of Z enjoyment left and I wish the same for all of you.
