49219 miles. Two trips to the east coast in 2008 and 2012 for HS and college 50th reunions; a few to the Texas coast to visit snowbird cousins; and several trips to Austin to COTA for the first three USGP's there; otherwise mostly local trips. Want to ride along from the windshield GoPro in...

Report on Nissan offer: Walked in with the letter, filled out a questionnaire, got a $10 Target gift card, and spoke to the sales manager. Long story short, he said they couldn't do any deal now because they didn't have any official info on the 400Z. I have his card, and I said I'd...

You can quote me on this. At the Z Club of Texas meeting last Thursday night, Mad Mike Taylor announced that it would be from ZCON in Colorado Springs.

I lost my z-virginity on 26 January 1972 when I got one of the first 50 thousand Datsun 240Z's ever made; #49788. Bought a used 83 Nissan pickup in 1988. Bought a new 4wd Nissan King Cab SE pickup in 1997, and sold the 83 pickup soon after. Got the first GT-R from my local dealer on 29 August...

I went to the Z Club of Texas meeting in Dallas last night, where Mad Mike Taylor announced that the actual August 17 Reveal would be at the ZCON convention in Colorado Springs, followed by the annual Texas Chili Party hosted by ZCOT.

Yeah, but in the long run, I might not profit from it. Hey, I'm 80! I still enjoy being a block ahead of other lanes before I hit the speed limit if I'm in the front of my lane, but mostly I drive the GT-R to the grocery store. I'm thinking something new might be fun, even if I lose 6 to7...

Thanks, and great minds think alike.

Maint costs, mostly lube and tires. Fluid change every 18k miles about $13-1400 at JoTech in Garland TX, much higher at dealer. New tires ever 9-14k miles, about $1400-1800. Depends on how sticky you want them. First three sets in 27k miles with Bridgestones [2] and one Dunlop, the higher...

Asking for advice, but I'll decide on Saturday. In the mail today I got an offer from the same local dealer to buy back my first-delivered [29 August 2008] Nissan GT-R, one day only on Saturday 17 July 2021, for $60,950 regardless of condition (!), which is about $18,000 more than a recent...

I currently own a 2009 GT-R [delivered 29 Aug 08], and a 1997 Nissan 4WD SE pickup. The only other cars I've owned since January 1972 are a 1972 Datsun 240Z and a 1983 Nissan pickup, bought used in 1988.

Bought my 1972 Datsun 240Z in 1971 with a $300US deposit, got it in Jan 72. Bought my 2009 Nissan GT-R in March 2008 with a $5000 deposit, and paid ONLY $15,000 over list price of $71,900, but got the first one from my local dealer on 29 August 2008, and it was STILL a great deal. Two of the...

Whether to trade my 29 August 2008 bought GT-R in for a 400Z, now that I'm 80? Decisions, decisions. I could maybe go for a 1:1 price trade...

I love my first-delivered from local dealer GT-R on 29 August 2008, but if the price is right [ aka trade-in covers it], I might be tempted. After all, I'm 80 now, and don't need a top speed of 193 anymore. I might accept a bit slower 400Z for my grocery runs. Maybe. Of course, it would...

I have a 2009 GT-R delivered 29 August 2008, first from my local dealer, probably worth about $50,000 today. I'm 80, and maybe I could trade in my GT-R for a loaded 400Z? Close enuf for government work, and then I could re-join the Dallas Z Club of Texas as a full voting member rather than an...
