Thumbs up Rented a 350Z, wow it's nice

Hey all, just joined this site.

I own an NSX, and used to own a 240SX back about 10 years ago.

Anyway I've been looking to have a fun car to drive for a day, so I rented a midnight blue 350Z from Hertz for about $125 a day.

Even though it's auto, I gotta say I really enjoy it.

It's not the same racing feel like my NSX, but feels very sporty.

One thing that's a little unusual is that I feel like I get as much attention tonight in the midnight blue 350Z as I often get in my NSX. Although it could be because people were scratching their heads at the fact that I was able to rent one from Hertz at the rental location.

I must say I really enjoy the engine notes and the exhaust sound. I may have to pick one up as a second toy.

I hate that you can rent a Z. I always liked making fun of the mustangs by saying that I wouldnt want to own a car that you can rent.
