Question Who is the oldest Z owner?

I had a "late life" crisis and bought a used '05 Z. I haven't had so much fun since, well, you know. Just passed 66 in years not mph (yikes!).

So 'fess up, how old are u?

At 53, I'm definitely at the older end of the 350Z spectrum.

Divorced, no kids... no need for a minivan!

I'm two months short of 41 and no, it's not a mid life crisis car. I always wanted a Sunday car but would never buy one unless:

1) I was paying cash.

2) I would have a garage for it.

3) I would live in a warm place where I could drive it all year, top down.

That day came last year on Oct, 15 2004 when I took poss. of my PPW ZR.

I've been loving it ever since.

Do a lot of racing at 66. You go, you've got nothing to lose.

I have often wondered why old people drive slow... "Come on.." "Get going.." You’re running out of time!!

BTW I'm 42.

Oh and welcome to the group!

No, but YOU might have something to lose. Your car and/or your life, esp if I lose control. And, I'm pretty busy, trying to lose control. FYI.

I bought my Z last year at age 52. One of my kids delayed their college education so I had some extra funds, I needed a new car and I saw the Z at the dealership and everything just fell nicely into place.

Born 1949. The 350Z is such a thrill that I take along an extra package of Depends.

BTW I believe that the senior forum member is ZRA.

51. Bought this Z to replace the one I sold when the first of my four children was born. Only one home now so time to treat myself. But now I have met a new woman and she has a daughter at home. If this gets serious I may have to let the Z go and get a CTS or A4 Quattro.

Please, god, don't let the Z go. It's not worth it! Work it out, work it out.

The gentlemen who recently bought my Z was 74 O_O
It`s a little weird, yet refreshing at the same time.

The BIG FIVE O, and a man is entitled to as many mid-life crisis as he needs. Certainly one wouldn't be enough.

63.

I rode bikes for 30-some years but gave 'em up a years back. With the kids out of the house and the "need for speed" comming back I thought four wheels was probably wiser than two.

Plus I thought the Zzz had the best lookin' butt since I've seen since a GF in the 60s!

I bought it because of a mid life crisis last year. The big 50! Today I am 51! and I still love it. I've learned that I can't drive it everyday at this age. So I bought a Kia Rio - damn that will make you appreciate the Z even more!
