Chronologically nearly 65, but Sport Z Magazine is just beginning its forth year so that makes me young at heart.

49 here. I'm gonna get one for my 50th birthday.

I would have killed myself if I had one of these when I was younger.

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!

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.

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!

I'll be 60 next Friday. Another decade passed. Unbelievable. But I don't feel a bit older than when I was 18.

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

Cool. Good to see the car can be enjoyed by the young and, well, the more chronologically enhanced among us.

Engineering Manager and a spry 28 and counting......

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!

Uh oh, the cat's out the bag now! 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!
