Never! Until 3 weeks ago I came across a 2010 Black roadster with 5k miles. The guy traded it in for a vette. I happened to drive by he Chevy dealership and saw it out of the corner of m eye. Price was great! DONE!

i was the same way about 10yrs ago. nowadays not so much. i think it's about buying something you really want instead of buying subsititutes.

you need to save up and get a car you really want.

hah that's true. i really wanted the 370z, but i guess it wasn't exactly what i wanted. i'm quite content with my setup now, i think i have everything i need for a while.

The age distributions are pretty wonky. Lots of young owners, drops off some, then starts to tick back up at 40-50+

No, they designed it just for you, ken.

i doubt that. my j-arse did not fit very well in the car originally. had to get slimmer side mirrors and raise the seat a tad so that i could see out over the side mirrors...

never had to do this on any of my j-cars.

it was designed for a 35+ yr old american dood of 6ft 1in and slim healthy build.

so i dont know why mr.k was saying this gen Z is 'not a z.' it's definitely designed for an american, not me.

That's me, except only 31. I am almost too tall for this car and it's tough to get my legs in under the steering wheel in a tight parking spot. Oh well, still love it once I am seated.

I'm a little under the age but can say that i don't think it was designed with a tallish person in the car. I'm 6'2" and have about an inch of space between my head and the roof lining. Still love it once i'm seated though. The bolstering of the seat is almost perfect for me.
