Any other old geezers out there?
31 years young here.....hell alot of the guys on my cycling team are in thier late 40's early 50's and can still woop on alot of the younger guys around.....its all how old you feel....
Hey, hey...48 ovah here..last sports car was a 1984 RX-7. Had to give it up in '89 cause I couldn't strap the baby seat down with the luggage straps in the back. Daughter took up the passenger side. Now that she's in college, my son is at the age he can't be seen with the parents...the Kawasaki is back running, the boat is cruising, and I got me a 'Z' after 15 years!
Another old geeser here will be 59 in Jan 04. Have owned nothing other than Sports Cars since age 29. Three Z's 280, 300 and 350. Two RX-7's 1984 GSL-SE, 1993 RX-7 Twin Turbo and a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT. Currently drive 350Z and 1993 Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo. Twin Turbo is my everyday car and 350Z is driven on weekends.
Soon to be 51. Picked up a 04 Redline touring AT w/Frost and Nav on Sat. Today it snowed so hopefully we will get some more nice days before it has to take a long winters nap.
One daughter who is a senior this year and is trying to get into a Optometry school somewhere.
I am a computer technician for Xerox Global Services.
Enjoy the ride for now. Can't wait for next spring already.

I'll be 53 in March - looking forward to buying an 04 SS Touring 6sp in June (oldest daughter get out of school and starts paying us back). My first car was a new '72 240Z that I owned for 16 years.
52....I've avoided mentioning my age thinking I was the only one - it feels so good to "come out!!!" (only on age tho - definitly hetero - not that theres anything wrong with the other lifestyle!)
I'm definitly forever 18 in my driving tho!

ronnie: I know what you mean. A while ago a pickup drove by me on the freeway and then slowed. Girl in the passenger seat pulled up her T-shirt and then looked at me. Only then did she realize that I was a bit older than she...like 40 years. I smiled-she smiled.
I kept this little memory to myself; until now
No regrets about the car

49 (for a couple more months) here!
I'm on my 2nd Z--the first being THE '72 240. After 35 years, still drumming in a rockin' blues band...though, Electrical design and fabrication is my day gig!

A true Zchick @ 52! And I never act my age! And I never will!! Zchickz.com has many an older driver and some really young ones too!
My Z is my first. It's my husbands fourth! He just found the keys to his Fairlady. They are beautiful keys! A true piece of art! Wow, I wish the keys looked like that today!

Thanks for the props, though!Well, in a way, I'm glad to see so many of those 50+...I really figured this car would appeal more heavily to the generation that owned the original Z, but until now it's seemed to be mostly early 20's.
I certainly hope that I'm like all of you in 20 years. My only prayer in life has been for my toys to get faster as I get older. For what I payed for my Z I could have got this car right here:
But I figured I'll stick with the trend, otherwise I'll have to move to F1 before I'm 40!
Hey zcar, it must be a real b***h to drive Seattle! I remember my home town in NY, very hilly. And I was to Seattle last year. My brother lives there and so does his son. The hills are great! Oh my clutch!
55 … Here! Sold my 97” Mitsubishi 3000GT to move up to the 350 “Z”!! Loved the 3000GT but Love the 350”Z” more!!! Son 31 Daughter 30 - 4 grandkids (oldest 10) I am an Operations Manager and travel all over the country for work.
