How old were you when you bought your z

birdmanx1 · 09-19-2011, 12:41 PM

Glad to hear.

23. Just finished school and paid my school loans off before I graduated thanks to a internship with the Gov't, working at the local course and landing with Lockheed Martin while my last year of school. Was fortunate enough to get a good job now that will keep me afloat, as well as having amazing parents that let me stay at home for the time being.

Paid half the Z in a down payment, and financed the rest. Meanwhile keeping half my savings. Im very happy and lucky the way it worked out and smile everytime I see that beautiful blue Z. Kind of does make those crappy days working worth it.

First car was a used superrr old Benz, then switched to the evo x mr until quickly dead even trading it for the z at 22 with some help from my parents after I saved some college money through USAF. Bro has '11 sti which we trade off evenly throughout the year. Setting it up for snow rally by this winter!

21 years old when I bought my first used Z in '85.
(Oh wait, that was an '82 Z-28 Indy Pace car, sorry.)

I'm 47 years old & got my first 370Z 6 months ago.
(Yeah, I'm old enough to be yo' momma!)

Now regarding insurance, you guys are gonna choke.
After doing the math, I pay $354.04 every 6 months, which is $59 a month.
Insurance company...Farm Bureau.
(Clean driving record, on paper that is, & bundle insurance package w/discounts.)

What can I say, guys...sometimes it PAYS to be the "older woman"?
Yeah, that works for me.
