Default My mom wants a Z lol

So, in november i picked up my 2004 Redline Track Z with only 15,000 miles. i absolutely love that car to death. I saved up for two years even though my mom didn't want me to get one, and i searched around and kept an eye on the local market until i found exactly the Z i wanted. My mom was apprehensive about an 18 year old driving the Z, but, still allowed me to procede in buying my dream car.

Now its May, and my mom is selling off her 2001 Lexus IS300. She wants to get a newer car, but is trying to save money and wants to buy a 2005/2006 Z. She is 52 years old and wants a Z roadster. Any suggestions on what level? Im thinking enth. cuz she wants leather, and VDC. she doesn't need the brembo's.

Do you think the car would fit her?

Enthusiast = no leather

Have to get a Touring for that.

Is she gonna race the car? No one really "needs" the brembos...

I've seen 70-something looking ladies driving around in a ZR. The car, as you should know, handles and stops well...much better than most on the road. The problem comes when you try to push the car...

when given a choice women want the touring with all features such as leather, heated seats, and Bose. Plus you guys are in Plano. You can't cruise around in cloth seats.

I agree. I think most women would be happy with the touring trim. Who doesn't like a little leather and some decent sound? If she is looking at the older models, the Touring has the 18" rims too. They are better for making her friends jealous.
