One thing I really wanna do next is get a different hood, that doesn't have as much of a curve to it; that's a personal preference. EDIT: Oh and a roll-cage too!

I'll be 48 in January and I just got my 2014 370z last month.
As far as it being my son's car when I got my Infiniti G35 6MT Coupe three years ago so I was 45 at the time. One woman at work said why did you get a 2 door you must be going through a mid life crisis, how fast does it go, did it come with those wheels etc. That's freaking envy dammit. When I was buying sport bikes a few years before that I'd hear the same crap, people are going to talk mess no matter what especially those that are envious & jealous. I did not get the 370z to regain my lost youth, pick up chicks or to look cool. I got it because I've always wanted a Z since I saw the 280/300 Z's when I was younger. I like the level of performance for the money spent and it looks amazing. I have a SUV so if I need to haul people they can climb in, the Z is my toy. Its fun to drive, moves like a cat and roars like a lion. If I go for a leisure drive in my SUV its like drinking flat beer, I'll jump in the Z get on a road and drive just to see where the road goes. The level of excitement and relaxation I get out of driving the Z is very close to when I was riding motorcycles Yeah I'm going through a midlife crisis it started when I was 25.

Are you kidding me? My 370Z is my fourth Z and I still have my original 1974 260Z. Forties too old to shift? I'm in my 70's and on a good day can still figure it out!

I drive my wife's 2014 Lexus IS every once in a while and really enjoy the luxury look and feel of the cockpit. That is until I get back into my Z and the overall fun of it trumps the Lexus feel..... I do however highly recommend Lexus cars.

^^ I want to get my wife a Lexus but she still sucks at driving. She's only had her license for a year so her 2013 Sentra has more scuffs than my work boots.

Good luck on the choice and purchase OP. I'm older than you and bought my Z because I wanted a driver's car. That's what I like to do. I really don't care what people think. I bought it because I enjoy driving a performance car on twisty roads and I love doing mechanical work out in the garage. I like the heritage of the Z and I like researching and executing tasteful mods that improve an already great platform. It's a fun hobby.

I'm 63 and drive a stick in Chicago traffic everyday. I don't see the big deal....half the time I'm just rolling along in neutral. I've haven't owned an automatic since a '58 Pontiac in High School. I've always owned either sports cars or manual sport sedans and I don't see any reason to stop just because I'm getting older. What I really want is a 25 year old babe and then people could really talk.

You definitely got one hell of a deal. Very little depreciation! I've had both Lexus and Infiniti and both are great. Good luck!
