Am I too old for a Z

I plan on having fun 'til the day I die. I'll never stop driving sports cars.

I rally enjoyed the 370z.

Yes, you are! Now, please sell me your Z very cheaply as I am 56 and could use another. Thx.

I just saw this threat and couldn't hold back a comment. Check my old thread; I bought my 2011 370Z when I was 70 and still have it. It is my daily driver and has held up well. It makes me feel good and keeps me young. I am furious when I see 70-year old people referred to as elderly.

The only maintenance, other than fluids, was alignments. It seems to eat tires; 20K on the original Yokohamas and 32K on the Michelin touring tires. (To Michelin's credit, they gave me a nice adjustment on the next set.)

My husband wants me to get a new Corvette or a 400Z, but no, I am sticking with my 379Z.

your friend is a racist dumb asz and this is just showing a small side of it. I bet he is a snob towards anyone driving something other than what he drives.

there are more 50 yr old vette owners than any other age and TX has the most vettes in all the states cuz they have nice open roads and I think the income that most vette owners have is like 100K a yr.

I guess I didn't read the second part of the OP...I'm guessing a reference to only white people driving Vettes or something? :dunno:

ProfessorDave · 10-12-2010, 01:09 PM

OP hasn't posted after the 1st post.

That apparently hasn't stopped the rest of us from contemplating this very important question

(er, questions, since there was a ethnic/cultural/racial part of the OP).

kenchan · 10-12-2010, 02:17 PM

yah, i asked him if his friend liked cheese burgers.

At 50 years old I can't even get my Z started down the highway unless I've got Disturbed, Chevelle or Avenged Sevenfold on about 3/4 volume.

I'm with you! I never understood the "I still listen to what I listened to in high school thing". But, taste in music is at least as subjective as car preferences. So drive and listen on!
