Yeah no question your much better off having the Z over a Buick, Lincoln, or Cadillac

Nissan Motor Co. was and still is very well built automobiles. If properly cared for they will keep going and going. You'll get 200,000 miles easily out of it as long as you take really good care of it. The L series motors in our Z's are practically bullet proof.

Thats good you got buddies to give you a hand. Remember all of us here at Classic Z Car Club are always willing to help you out as well if you get stuck. Who better to ask about Z's than us??

Sounds like your Z got a good home with you You said "I'll just play it by year, and replace stuff as the need comes. I'm a paranoid driver; the minute something even sounds 'off' I check it out or have it checked out." Repeat that to your Z and she will love you for that and take good care of you in return. I'm positive that she wont give you any headaches

Take it easy man and enjoy your Z.

It feels really good to have my logic validated.

Thank you!

With any luck I can pick the car up on Monday night now. I have to wait for the checks I deposited in my account on Wednesday to clear before I can get a cashier's check made, so yeah.

Maaan... this is gonna be awesome.
