the old guy with a cool sports car! Lol
WHO CARES!!!
Pretty close the same as me. I was 19 when I got my first and only other sports car, a 1957 Triumph TR3 (small-mouth front). I'm now 65 and bought my cool looking '12 Z last Sept. Didn't want to fit the classic mould of "old white guys drive 'vettes and ride Harley's (I also ride a '74 Norton 850 Commando Roadster I bought new).

You & I are scary close. My first car was a 1958 TR3. I had a 72 (I believe) Norton 750 commando hi rider. I'm 68 now & loving my second Z.

2007 VFR RWB 25th Anniversary Edition. Full Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, A&A Perf Supercharger. Sold not long ago, a '03 RC51. Should have kept that bike.

I wanted an RC 51 at one time (my friend had a Suzuki TLR) but the local dealer just wouldn't get real with the price. There was talk of them being discontinued then they decided to add one more year. I was trying to buy it saying it wasn't something all that rare now that they were going to extend production. They acted like it was the last one on the planet. Went and bought a 2003 GSX1000R instead, then a ZX 10R.

Just turned 61.

My first car at 16 was a 1978 280Z that I worked two Summers to buy.

My second Z 1990 Twin Turbo I purchased in my late 20's

My current Z I purchased in my early 40's and is getting the FI Twins installed

Man, I wish I had extra cash to put some FI twins on mine. I might start hookering.
