Oh I def bought it for myself. It could look anyway it wants. If its a Z Im in! Just a bonus that its an eye catcher. I care much more about performance.

lol...
wanted to buy a new...
And i wanted a car that fits me and I am asian =)...
so i told myself i mma buy one of the following: evo X, sti, s2000, or Z...
called my buddy and asked... for a 350z and he told we dont make 350z no more...
i was sad=(... and then he told me we got 370z though...
googled 370z on the spot...
loved it... next day asked a friend how to drive a manual transmission...
day after that went to pick up my z =)...

PS... Picking up my Z was the scariest drive of my fvcking life!!! Was happy that i didnt stall =)...

I've told this before but your Z06 scares the heck out of me. I test drove one and it's a serious monster.

Memorable experiences last a lot longer than material possessions.

They sure do, too bad I havent had that opportunity yet, although if I could somehow make my Z to swim or even fly hmmmm

Birdman ur Z flys right? I dont think its called Zuprman for no reason.

It does fly ... low with the help of super concentrated Tiger blood mix, gives some extra umphhh to the car too. As far as swimming, slip in $100 to the guy in charge for beer at both maritime ports and you could be on your way Z cruising top down in Tuscany with a fancy Italiana mamasita raving about you all day long even though you have no idea what the h*ll she's talking about but it just sounds so sexy to your hears

Let's see why I bought my Z....

My E92's oil change (out of warranty) was $400 (oil + reset) - I like my stuff
done at the dealership.

The car I wanted was an E89, the best price I could find at the time I was
car hunting was $54k. Saw my cousin snatch a used Z33, liked it, found
myself grabbing a Z34 (with an amazing price tag) and became a sucker
for its red interior and calipers.

AND! AND! Oil change was just $100. I can live with that. Looks, maintenance,
cost, performance - its a winner.

Sounds like a win to me

I was working too much and making good money but wasn''t doing much else. I always loved the 370z, the 350z was eh to me. I was reading up on it a lot then went to a friend's bbq where 2 of them had it and I loved it more in person. I figured it was now or never. I could afford it and I was young enough to enjoy it still. When I buy a house in the future, I may never have enough disposable income to get something so impractical, haha. I didn't want to become one of those old men who drive their Porsches below the speed limit. Broke my gf down by talking about it all the time and got her blessing, so I got it. Great blend of looks, affordablity, and performance. I do miss the space and comfort of my 07 Altima 3.5 sometimes though. Wish I could have had both. I am sure after I get her on the track and maybe drop in a mod or 2, I will love her even more.

Cool Bruce, looks like you thought long and hard and planned for your Z

it always takes me some readjustment with parking, driving when switching to the Altima. Such a boat compared to Z.

Zaggeron · 09-02-2011, 12:45 PM

Drove it in Forza 3 and got a itch to get one for real. The past two Forza releases have generated in me desires for a new car. And within months of those releases I acted on those desires. Let's hope my wallet weathers this upcoming Forza release in a month or two

Time for a new girl. I can see a wife trying to regulate the toys, but just a gf?

I'm sure she's really nice though. Pics?
