I last posted on the forum in April when I turned 75. The Z has been running well. Only repair involved replacing the struts on the rear hatch. I bought them on line for $70 and replaced them in 20 minutes. I took the car on a run to the International Auto show in Phoenix last Sunday. That's a 105 mile trip from Tucson and it was a smooth trip with the cruise control set on 80 most of the way. A 78 year old friend and I are driving the Z to Los Angeles at the end of the first week in December to see the LA Auto Show. It will be a quick trip, one day driving, one day at the show, and return to Tucson on the third day. Haven't checked the distance yet but I figure 7 to 9 hours driving time with us sharing wheel time. The Z has 71,000 miles on it. I still love driving it every day and look forward to having the car at least until I turn 80. If there are any 350 Z drivers on the forum older than me I stand corrected for calling myself the oldest in the title.

Congrats on living life so well. I'm not too far behind you (I'm 69) and also love cruising around in my Z.

At only 62 I can only hope that I will enjoy many years of motoring in my ZR. It sounds like you have a great road trip planned heading out to the LA Auto show. Living on the east coast you now have me thinking about the NY auto show for a possible road trip. Enjoy your drive and the auto show.

i seriously wish there was a subforum for members 35 and up, all the way up i guess lol.. far better talking w all of these guys than the newbs.

BTW, Congrats OP. I thought it was cool/horrififc when i got a FB request from my 63 year old ( and very Clint Eastwoodish lol) father this year.. imagining him in a Z and posting online at 75 is crazy.
I think thats simply awesome.

59 years old. Loving my 2007 Enthusiast / HR! Had Challenger and Mustang, but they are too common. Around here Z's are somewhat rare. I appreciate a sports car over a muscle car, any day! The old guy section on my350z sound good to me!
