After 10 years in a Z, I am saying goodbye...

elmz · 07-19-2013, 08:10 PM

Like the title says, I spent almost 10 years in a Z car. I had the privilege of owning a 2005 350Z and a 2009 370Z. Both were awesome cars! I have a lot of fond memories in both. They always brought a smile to my face whenever I was behind the wheel. Even after years of ownership, that "wow" feeling never wore off. That is a good sign of a great car. But neither was without its flaws. The 350Z was really lacking in the luxury department and the 370's road noise was starting to wear me out. I was craving something a little more luxurious with less road noise. I am now a proud owner of a 2014 Porsche Boxster. So far it has been an amazing car. It reminds me of the first time I took delivery of my past Z cars. I hope you guys enjoy your Z's it truly is an amazing car. See you guys on the road!

Here are some quick pics of my Boxster.

I'm more of a 911 type of person. But I can respect it. Congrats, enjoy and drive it hard. It does look pretty sick though.

Nice looking ride. The color combo is pretty cool...and it's a roadster.
