Default 60th birthday present from me

I turned 60 on 09/01. Had surgery on 09/05. Got up early on 09/06, took my pain meds and bought an 06 grey roadster with 3700 miles and a healthy price cut. I took more pain meds and waited for my wife to get home.
I owned an 82 280ZX and an 88 300ZX in the past but this is the best yet.

Happy to be here.

That is great. Hope the surgery went alright. I pretty much bought mine as an early 34th b-day present for myself. I have been thinking of a car for the last 18 months and thinking about a Z for the last 6. Bought my Silverstone 6Spd on 9/2....too much fun! Congratzzzz!

Happy belated birthday, glad your surgery went well, and congrats on your puchase....welcome!!


Your story sounds like great material for a "Z" commercial......"patient in a doctors office....doctor writes a prescription...."get this two seater and call me in the morning"!!!!!.........

I did something similar, I was in the hospital for 6 days with a blood clot in my leg which broke and went into both my lungs, was not pretty... After that near death experience I went out a week later and bought a Roadster, figure its time to have some fun in life before it ends...

Enjoy the Roadster...

WOW.. that's awesome! I'm on some pain meds as well... but it doesn't really have much of an effect on me other than relieving the pain eheh. Time to go get soup!
