Howdy from Colorado

[BoulderZ]

Hey all,

A quick hello from Boulder, CO!

Through a series of horse trades that involved motorcycles and Mustangs, I'm now in possession of a slick new '71 240Z. Most systems in the car have been freshened up and it's really got a great presentation inside and out. Drives like a myotis-from-Hades.

I agreed to this particular trade because I thought the Z would bring a higher resale than an old Mustang GT (the Z-owner called this his $12,000 $6000 car).

I'd never given much thought to a Z before: mostly a pre-'65 Volvo guy. But something happened to me when I slipped behind the wheel of this car: something subtle yet exhilarating, like your second or third kiss on a first date. Somewhere between the test drive and pulling it into the garage four hours later, I fell hard for this car.

Now comes the learning curve, the "getting to know each other" stage of the relationship. This forum looks like a great place for advice and experience. I look forward to learning from all you Z-guys and Z-gals.

Cheers,

Aiden

Welcome! Yeah, for some reason, this car kind of takes ahold of you once you take notice of it. Congratulations on the aquisition.

Any pictures of her?

Hi Aiden, There are quite a few members here from Colorado. They will all tell you that now you have been infected with the Z virus. There is no cure so enjoy the ride. We are fortunate to have a lot of Z car roads on which to enjoy our addiction (Boulder Canyon, Poudre Canyon, Big Thompson Canyon, N.& S. St. Vrain Canyons, Peak-to-Peak etc.). You will find a lot of helpful advice on this site. Be sure to use the search feature. It will help you avoid newbeitis (asking questions that have been answered a few thousand times).

Also be sure to check out the photo galleries. There are some really great pics. You might also consider going to MSA's West Coast Z Car Show at the end of April. It will truly knock your socks off. I've been the last 3 years and never get tired of it. They are a site sponser and you get a discount on parts from them by being a member of our site. www.zcarparts.com.

Cheers, Mike

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I look forward to meeting you.

The front range canyons are truly Z territory. Before these last couple snows blew in I had my 240 up along the Peak to Peak Highway for some great curve carving. What a fun car!

Do you folks ever go out for spring/summer/fall cruises together?

Stay warm,

Aiden
