I was 25 years old in 1976 when I purchased my copper colored 280Z 2 + 2. It was a sad day when I sold it due to a new baby and responsibilities....

The babies are grown and gone and I'm happy to say a Z is back in my life! I just bought a 2005 Touring Roadster in Daytona Blue with light gray leather interior and I love it! The thrill of real driving (6 speed) is a wonderful feeling.....

Nice to find this forum........looking forward to lots of good advice and info.

Hopefully I'm not the oldest person on this forum....

 

wrong forum grandpa. lol, welcome to the site. glad to see you got a 6speed.

 

As soon as I sent my post I realized I should have posted in "New Owners".

I'll get better.......

 

Welcome and congratz, I think our oldest member is like 70 something.

 

Well, it assures that I don't hold the "oldest person" spot now. Welcome!

 

welcome!!!! i think im still going to be driving a Z when im your age too....

 

Welcome back to the Z family Tom. Your story is similar to mine, 280ZX -> 300ZXT -> babies -> kids grown up -> 350Z. My Z-less phase was only 16 years though.

 

Welcome Z brother!!!!!!!!!!

I will love to help answering any question that you might have related to the 350Z. The Roaster it is a true beauty. This was my 2004 automatic Twin Turbo (APS TT). Now I have a 2006.5 350ZR 6sp.

 

Welcome to the forums.

davidv will find this thread.

 

Thanks everyone! Look forward to lots of good stuff from you all!

And by the way, I don't look my age........and now I feel like I'm 25 again when I drive my awesome Z.......life is good again.......

 

There are a lot of young bucks here over 50+. Congratulations and welcome to the forum. You'll like this site. Wisdom is appreciated here by many.

 

Hey Tom, I'm about the same age as you too! And I don't look my age, either.

Also started to like Z's way back in my mid-20's. Never owned one then but a roommate's boyfriend did; he so loved that car that it got me started buying Nissans. Took me a while to work around to the Z, though. I've had mine for a little over a year now.

Anyway, welcome. We oldies have to balance out the forums here!!

 

Welcome Tom. Several of us on here have you beat in the age thing.

Enjoy the new ride!

 

i hope so. otherwise, i'm going to call in the clown to unleash his mighty load on you! you mischievous little devil, you!

 

Congrats~ You will feel a lot younger after browsing some threads ppl post...hahah

 

I can tell your a great group .......... one of my favorite sayings is........."If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be?"

The Z exemplifies this thought..........

 

I'd be 39 forever! ;-)

 

congrats on the '05
welcome to the forums...

 

This thing doesn't shift quite the same as my old '67 Mustang with a four speed Hurst but I'm getting used to it.....very used to it!

I wonder if you can "speed shift" one of these?

 

Welcome to the forums! I love the Daytona Blue!
