Hi, z maniacs. My name is jorge i live in San Bernardino, CA. Im' 19 and a member of the Empire Z Club.

Well it all started when I seen the commercial for the new Z32 it was instant love. I new when I got older I had to get one, you could say it was my dream car. Well my wish came true in 1999 after graduation, well actually 6 months before graduation. I got my graduation present a little early. It was a 94 2+2 I was really going for a TT but all the TT were in bad shape. Then my dream became a nightmare when my Dad couldn't pay for it anymore and I had lost my job so I was out of luck. The car got repo in 2001, but then the 1st gen z caught my eye.

Then on day while visiting my girlfriends step Dad who was a car sales man . I spotted that he had several Z's in his lot, but one in particular caught my eye. It was a 75 280z. He old me that the car wasn't his, but he would ask how much the guy wanted. He phoned me the next day and told me the guy wanted $1000 for it. Well i told him that was out of my price range. I was a little down cause I really wanted the car, but I got good news the next day. My girlfriends step Dad told me that his friend was selling a 75 280z for $500 with tags and running. I told him to call the guy and I'll take the money to him in and hour. Well I got the 75 and for some weird reason I like this car more than the 94 z32.

I've had 3 more Z's after the 75 buy all Z31's ,but theirs something about the 1st gen Z that i love more than the others.

well that's my story. Oh one more thing my first car was a 88 Maxima. You could say I'm a Nissan guy cause that's all that I've owned.

Congrats on the car!! I also acquired a '75 280z earlier this year. Unfortunately mine wasn't running, so, I have to spend some cash on it. But, I agree that the older cars are sure a lot more fun.

Have a good time with it and be careful not to wrap yourself around a tree.
