Default The Z is..... (sniff... Tear...)

So it's come to my realization while preparing to get my car ready for storage that the next time I take her out (trying to hold back tears) my baby will be 10 years old... Where has the time gone. Granted I picked mine up in 05, but feel like the original owner cause the orig owner was a friend of mine and I got to see it all the time/ride and drive it.

Sorry, had to share my story...

Dammit Greg I thought I was opening another totaled thread, glad that's not the case. MN Z days are numbered for sure, esp if this weather keeps up.

Bought mine in april 03 brand new.

I know the feeling. She'll be turning 10 in 6 short months.

Feels like I drove her off the lot yesterday.


It's the longest I've ever owned a car.

It's only a car! I have a Porsche I've owned for 14 years, but then again, I only drive it less than 500 miles a year. Oh yeah, it's 1 of 3 ever built, and the last one remaining. The Z is a toy, no collectable value based on the number built.

Any car is just a car, it's the personal value (not talking dollars and cents or production numbers or rarity) of any car that makes it special to that person.

Real automotive enthusiasts don't base how valuable a car is by something like "collectible value based on the number built".

GTFO and go go back to your private yacht douchebag.

And no Z is as worthless as you make it sound. If you really feel this way, please get out of the Z community. It's not "only a car" around here.

Next month will be 10 years from the build date of my Z. Can't believe it. I still sometimes think it's a new-ish car.
