48 here but I feel younger. I actually think the Z was meant for the older crowd when it was concieved. For the longest Ive only seen older guys in new Zs until a years ago when they started lowering the standards for loaning money. Now that banks are back to being picky you might not see as many younger guys buying them likke you did a couple of years ago. But the Z really is a car for all ages. I think the older guys wont mod the looks as much as some of the younger guys.

Why is it that younger folks even get the idea that senior-aged life is meant to be spent laying down and living either a meager existence or dying? Because I age am I supposed to stop enjoying:

- looking at the beauty of a well-shaped woman's body?
- having sex?
- eating?
- spectator sports?
- sports cars and settle for a Hearse?

The preferences a person develops for certain things stay every bit alive in the senior years as they did when conceived earlier by that person. So why the more youthful folks of society ever assume this rediculous thought is beyond me...

The extra desire is the miracle of modern med ala Viagra. Kidding man.

On a serious note I agree that passion in younger years stay with you until death. To our younger members please be considerate.

You're absolutely right. At 18, I was cruising around in my Mustang, blasting Chuck Berry through the speakers. Today, at 62, I still enjoy cruising, now in my beautiful Z, still playing Chuck Berry singing Johnny Be Good! It was all so good then---and it's even better now! Go Johnny Go!!

Crap! All you older guys have yellow Z's like me, does that mean I'm old? Also, I'm almost 27.


To contribute, my father who likes sports cars a lot(he's had numerous vettes and an SRT-10 Viper) is seriously considering getting a 40th anniversary Z. He's 55.
