I still get butterflies when I play softball or go to grid. I not able to sleep before opening day of hunting season or any other exciting adventure or happenings. I won't worth a crap once Seb tells me my car is ready to pickup and might even shed a tear when I do. Yes on one hand I want time to slow down on the other I can't wait for tomorrow!
WELL ZED, Bob.

I rally enjoyed the 370z.
You're 52 years old. Take some advice from a 29 year old: "Your money your rules".

Edit: LOL. . . 11 year old topic. Now I'M feeling old. At 18 I was partying, chasing girls, doing uni applications and determining what acne products are the best.

I like to use the rule of 37 for this kind of thing. If you are 37 years old or older, you must trade in the Z for a G37.

Just kidding, drive what you want to.

Never too old! Was cruising the other day & seen a clean white Z.... guess who was behind the wheel? Guy was at least 60-70! I just had to compliment his ride Small reasons why I love the Z community. Very diverse in the people who like these Japanese sports cars

If you want a Z, buy it. Enjoy life, and enjoy driving it.

If you have to ask, then, yes, you are too old.
