On a side note, be nice AND listen to older people. Their experience may be your survival guide.

When I bought my Z in 2014 I wanted one last fun car. I figured I would drive it for a few years and then trade it for something sensible. The hell with that! Now I'm thinking this might well be my last car.

There is something about the Z that keeps people drawn in. If someone sells their Z, seller's remorse usually kicks in soon after and there is a good chance they will come back later down the road.

Old is a state of mind… much like insanity.

Sorry. My aging eyes didn't see the property line.

Aww, who am I kidding? I've never really been fond of boundaries

Default Am I too old...

I originally responded to this post a long time ago but I saw two emails on the subject this week. They make me smile because I still use the car as my daily driver and have no plan to replace it. It has been surprisingly reliable and requires little maintenance. The biggest expense has been tires.
We live in a semi-retirement community and I venture that only about 10% of the people who live here could even get in it much less drive it. I can vouch for the idea that it helps keep you young even if you don't drive it hard. It's all about lookin' good makes you feel good..

I liked my MT 2018 so much that I bought a 2019 to see if an auto transmission version would drive differently. It does but I like them both and kept them both. I use each of them every other year during the spring-summer-fall season and plan to keep them both until I die.
