Are we overZealous?

Hey Everyone. I'm starting to wonder if my wife and I have issues. In 1976, I bought a 280Z. In 1991 my wife and I bought a 300ZX and in 2004 a 350Z. In 2023 we couldn't wait any longer for MT so we bought a AT Performance. In 2024 we traded for a MT Performance. In 2025, at 71 years old, we decided we needed to act our age so we traded the Z for a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. I started to get itchy about another Z a week ago or so, but fought it off. My wife told me she wanted another Z and pushed me over the edge. She saw a sign in the sky. See photo. How could I argue? I drove 475 miles to buy a 2026 Performance MT yesterday. All Z's were white.
I'm starting to wonder if we have a medical condition, maybe we're hypoglyZemic? Or maybe a mental issue, OZD? Or are we just overZealous?
Anyway, it feels so good to own and drive the Z again. Glad to be back in the family. Best wishes. God Bless

Welcome back!

Can't argue that combo in the garage, either...

Love the cloud. Like you I've had a few 'z's' . But my definition is a little more loose. I had an original 69 model 240 in my teen years around 77 to 78. I had to sell it because of too many speeding tickets among other things. I had 2 240SX's, both 94's, bought new. First one got rear ended and totaled after 3 months. Just got another new one with the insurance settlement. The 2nd one got rear ended and totaled a few years later, 4 car pile up. I had a 2008 Altima coupe for awhile. It had the 3.5 VQ z engine and a 6 speed manual. I thought it was basically a 350z but trunk and back seat, more practical. Unfortunately it was front wheel drive, main difference. Great car, but the engine bay was TIGHT. Just got my 24 MT performance heritage and loving it.

You're gonna love it - if you don't already. Great color by the way. I'm impressed every time I drive mine. Just hope you don't catch "mod-itis" like I did. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks to you all for the kind responses and for not saying we're crazy. As far as the love from the dealerships and salesmen, their love reminds me of the love I got from my first wife. Once I signed on the dotted line, it didn't last very long. :) Good to be back with you Zealots. Take care.

Life is short, get what you want, pay what it is worth to you and don't sweat it!

Congrats on the new ride!
Yes, sir. Make the most of your ride and live your dream. I love my Z.
