I got a phone call that my 2005 Ultra Yellow 350Z track model had arrived, and would I like to come down and help them unwrap it?
Well duh, yeah!

3 miles on the odometer when I drove it off the lot. 105,000 miles later and she still brings a smile to my face...

Picked up the first 2003 Daytona Blue Z that hit the lot at my local dealer back in early '03! Been 7 years since I picked up the HR! Time flies.

Picked up my 2003Z Super Black Track Model in 2003 also. Drove into Nissan just to look at the new Z's. I took a ride in it with the General Manager's Sister-in-Law. I just looked at my better half. That was it, I drove in with a 740i BMW, and left with my Z and told them to take the BMW as a trade. One and only and still having a great time with it, and FI Strong...

I bought a new 2003 Redline Performance model. Eleven years later I still have the car and continue to enjoy the drive.

A couple from last year's SCCA Solo Packwood National Tour.

Yes, I still get it out on an autocross course, and it still does incredibly well -- when I don't "cheap out" and try to make tires do a few more runs than they're capable of...

Hard to believe how long it's been since I bought my Z. Coming up on 10 years now. Good times.

Nice work PDX! That's fantastic that you're still motorsporting in her too. Many years to go, given there's plenty of 240z's out there fanging around tracks.

Had my 350 since new, 10 years, and almost one month.

It sure is amazing feeling, just realized my 10 year is coming up. Amazing how time flies by!

I even shipped her with me to Germany. Let me tell you, she handles very nice on the Autobahn!
