Just an observation

HEK

Before when I didn't have the Z I would look at every new model that came up every year and would wonder how it would be like to own it, after the Z entered my life I still get the same feeling and all I need to do is look at my car and the feeling goes away....funny how after almost 3 years I still like to drive it and more so look at it..

I must be more sick in the head than you cause I cant help it and still drool over and dream about getting a new car.

I still enjoy reading and daydreaming about other cars. Sometimes I even go test drive them. Then I go for a drive in the Z and forget all about them! I think this feeling will be enhanced when I install my FI exhaust this weekend!!

There isn't anything I can actually afford that I'd rather own, so I'm good for now.

I daydream about owning and driving a faster, more expensive car, but as soon as I drive the Z, everything in the world seems right. Don't get me wrong, given the opportunity, I'd trade in the Z for a 991 or even a 997 Carrera S, but the Z is plenty of car for the enthusiast in me.

None of my dream cars will be affordable to me in this lifetime. But pulling up to a dealership in the Z gets some interesting reactions sometimes.

The VW sales guy was like you should go somewhere else
The Honda sales guy didn't want me driving his test cars like a Z - I just as my wife got in the driver seat.
The BMW sales guy asked to drive it
The Subaru sales guy asked for a ride in it - I obliged and he gave up trying to sell me on an STI

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has these thoughts...thanks for your replies

I should have waited until I got home from work as today as I came to a stop light and a CRV driven by a middle aged man and a female passenger pull next to me and he rolled the window down to tell me that my car was "handsome" and the woman game me a thumbs up...If he was alone I would have thought something else but I'm glad she was in the car...my response to them was...it's my mistress ..as my wifey calls her since I spend more time with her than with my wife...just kidding the garage tends to keep me from doing the honey do list that's why, ok 'nough

There's always going to be newer and faster stuff out there but when you find the one that does it for you none of that matters. After over 2 years of ownership I can still go out to the garage and stare at my Nismo the same way I can go out to the garage and stare at my Ducati (6 years and counting). And when I'm driving/riding it's like nothing else on Earth matters. I still find it ironic that a Japanese car would have that intangible "it" factor that's lacking on virtually all of their motorcycles. Usually it's Euro cars/bikes or American stuff from the 60's that does it for me.

I used to ogle everything new on the road, and I still appreciate seeing other sweet rides that are coming down the pike. But, NOTHING stirs my soul like my pw 370z! I can't park it, and walk away with my back to it. It beckons me back! So gorgeous to look at, so fun to drive.
Almost every time I take her out, someone will either shout out at a stoplight, or comment in a parking lot. My wife laughs because she knows I'm eating that up with a spoon!

This.

I feel the same... Just the other night I found myself just staring at my Z, drooling over every angle/detail for almost 45 minutes! Driving it is my favorite thing to do... I can't get enough. And, for me, I absolutely love the rarity of the car... You just don't see that many, which just adds to the appeal.

Op I dream of other cars. I respect well built performance cars. But I know where you are coming from. After driving this car and stepping into other cars they don't have that excitement level
