I rally enjoyed the 370z.

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:

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).

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

I had a local mod shop do it. I used the new NavTool for the 2010 Z to provide the interface. I am sure it cost more using the mod shop I did (they generally do very high end sports car work), but the job is perfect. It is invisible (the NavTool is behind the dash, where it has to be according to the installers). The camera is mounted above and to the left of the license plate. All in all, it looks and feels like it was a factory option.

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!

Well you may be on your last leg, but you have good taste!

Check out Dope if you haven't already.

I'm 66 and can't get the grin off my face every time I get behind the wheel. Get that Z and drive it like you stole it.

shadoquad · 10-20-2010, 05:06 PM

No such thing as too old for a z, bro. Go for it!

Zsteve · 10-20-2010, 05:09 PM

youre only too old for the Z if you cant drive it like you stole it.

I am 66.. just dont try to pick up 50 year olds as they will accuse you of robbing the cradle!!

ZPirate · 10-20-2010, 05:26 PM

Heck no you are not too old for a Z!

My dad is 73 and he bought himself a BMW Z convertible with a manual tranny last spring. He loves it. Almost as much as I do my two Nissan Zs.

BTW I tried to get him to look for a Nissan roadster, but he was set on getting a BMW.
