All I can say is I’m ‘over 50’, and I want my new toy!

dont hate @trackratZ

I'm 33 and I'm still getting carded. I have people walking up to me and asking if I was 14 and where are parents.

the z may end up being the import version of the vette...

except its gonna be old oriental dudes coming out of the woodwork wanting to re-live their younger days on the wangan...

 

[H2O_Doc]

thing about it, a cool car will definitely make you feel a lot younger...


...just ask all those old dudes buying vettes

The Vette forum is a cranky place. It’s not as crazy as the Jeep forum, but it’s damn close.

My first and only was the Z33. Ever since then I've wanted to build a 240Z. One day...

Nice! If you do build a 240Z please DON'T put an LS in it! Stick with true JDM roots. My RB26 has been reliable and plenty of power already even with just a light tune.

100% would stick with a Nissan engine. Probably a VQ37VHR. If I'm feeling froggy I'd jump for an RB.

It used to bother me, too, but now I take it as a compliment. Perspective is everything

In my head I still feel in my early 20s, I’m always disappointed when I am rudely awakened by my mirror reflection….or when my knees tell me the rain is coming ?

I feel this so hard. Between that and a bit of imposter syndrome I always feel like I don't have the knowledge or the life skills I should for someone my age. And I feel like that's only going to get worse as I get older until I either die or just don't care anymore.

I do see it from that POV as well. It can just be annoying at times. A few years ago I was at the movie theater with a friend and I forgot my ID at home. The employees wouldn't let me get tickets for a R-rated movie. I was like, "I'm 29". He replied with a "sure you are, no ID, no tickets".

Hey this is why you'll get behind the wheel of the new Z, bring some of those early years back!

younger and thinner.

29 now. New Z will be my first brand new Z. Bought CPO 2012 Z when I was 22. Drove my uncles 350z and 300zx prior to that many times and got into VQs when I bought my 05 G in 2009.
