Who's our oldest Z driver out there?
Who's our oldest Z driver out there? Nothing to be ashamed of among other car people. I'm 45 with 2 kids and my family thinks I'm nuts! That's all right. At least I'm a happy nut!

Just another "antique"!
Guess I am in the running here. I traded a 3000GT in for this Z and I am 63 yrs. old. Just a couple of antiques I guess! Still act like a kid cause' the Z makes me feel that way!

Not me but...
I am 42, both kids grown and off to school.
The dealership here in Oklahoma City where I bought mine received two touring models that were not pre-sold. I bought the Le Mans Sunset.
The Silverstone was sold to an 85 year old lady who traded in her Lincoln Towncar the same day I bought mine. The salesman said she was having a blast during the testdrive, she floored it to take off from the dealership and it pushed her head back into the seat. The salesman asked if she was alright and her response was, "I'm just feelin the G's baby, just feelin the G's".
You gotta love her.

Oldest Z Driver
I think I am the oldest I have heard of. I am 68 and driving a CS Touring with AT, which was ordered March 13th and arrived August 27th. My wife and I love the car. We live 10 miles east, up the mountains from Sonora, California where the roads are hilly and curvy...just right for the Z.
