How Many Zs have you owned prior to the 370z?

I'm 45 years old and I have owned quite a few cars in my life (over 50), but the one car that I have always loved is the Z .

Default How Many Zs have you owned prior to the 370z?

I'm 45 years old and I have owned quite a few cars in my life (over 50), but the one car that I have always loved is the Z. My 1st car was an 81 280zx turbo back when I was 18 and joined the Marines. Loved that car so much even though it was horrible in bad weather! Total Zs owned are:

81 280zx turbo (Automatic) Totaled
88 300zx (Automatic) Traded
03 350Z (6 speed) totaled on 2/26/16 with 195K miles and only major item replaced was the clutch at 110K. Basic maintenance after that.
83 280zx Turbo (5 speed) still own
10 370z Roadster

I know we all love the 370z but did anyone own a Z before that and if so, what was it?

I'm 20 years old and have owned 26 cars. Last year I purchased my first Z which was a 2004 350z. I purchased it in May 2015, totaled it in November the same year .

I recently just purchased my second Z in March 2016. That one is a 2010 40th anniversary 370z that I'm in love with

I'm in CT as well, I think I recognize that yellow z32 and the 350z. Do you know a guy named Bobby G? I also have a 40th, pretty cool to find another one in CT!! Let's get together and cruise this summer. Check out CT Z Car Club!

My first car was a 300ZX turbo I got it back in 2013. Still have it, and love it to pieces. Bought the 40th 10 days before Christmas last year. Also love it. Don't plan on ever selling either one!

What wheels are those?

And how does someone age 20 have already owned 26 cars? Did you own multiple at a time? Or use them for a week and then move on?

It was a hobby for me I would buy a car like it for a little while then get bored and trade it off or sell it and get another one . My shortest time with a car was a few hours . Literally bought it, brought it to a friends house to clean it and his uncle bought it for triple what I bought haha .

The wheels are cosmis mr2 wheels 18x9.5 et 15 18x10.5 et 20
