I just turned 52 and I bought a 94 back in 99 with only 32,000 miles. This car to this day is an absolute chick magnet as I can tell by the quick stare's and smiles from the lady's of different ages especially when I have the T tops off. My oldest son just recently graduated from High school and I let him use it for his prom night. He was the talk of the night with everyone including other kids with modern Mustang's, Camaro's. It's never been modified only the wheels that are Volk TE37 with a GoMex body kit . I just past the 85,000 mile mark this past year after all of these years and it still runs absolutely perfect a/c ect.. I wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world.

My very first ride in a "fast" car was around September, 1990. I was 18. A buddy of mine (also 18) had just received an inheritance and naturally, he did what any teenage boy with thousands of dollars did back then - he bought the fastest new car he could afford; a 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. I'll never forget that first launch I experienced on an uphill freeway onramp. The rush of power was nothing I'd felt in a performance car up to that point and I'll never forget it for the rest of my life. That Z is a very special car and not only am I glad you got to find it, own it and enjoy it but ever so thankful you brought us along for the ride. Hoping for the very best miles ahead for that Z. Thank you.

I was 16 when I rode in a 300ZX twin turbo, in Nov of 1991. And like you, it was the very first fast car I was a passenger in. I rode in Mustang 5.0 GT's of that time, but they weren't as fast. Again, similar to your story, the guy who owned it was "spoiled" and got this car brand spanking new as a 16 y.o....He grew bored of it after a couple years and also got the FD3S R1 brand new, after selling the 300ZX twin turbo off. I wanted to buy it off of him, but didn't have $18,000 30 years ago as a high school senior lol. Anyways, he was kind enough to let me the drive the RX7 a few times, and hard. Fast forward to 2001 and the fastest car I drove at the time was a brand new C5 Z06 with 385hp. A year after that, the faster car I drove was a 2002 Viper. Those are all my "exploits" with fast cars. I currently own a '95 300ZX twin turbo that I bought 3 years ago.

I had a 91 2+2 in highschool and I loved the rush of flooring it at 30-35mph crossing an intersection on a yellow light with a car full of buddies! it wasn't that quick but to us it was and the engine sounded awesome. Would love to get a TT someday as I do see myself collecting cars as time goes by.

@Dano-MX5 Год назад

I bought this exact car in 1997. It was a 1995 garage queen with 12k miles. Owned by an eye surgeon. In the 3 years I owned it I probably received more comments about it than any other sports car that I have owned.

@amirghorbani5443 Год назад

I’ve had a 1990 since new in the exact same color. It’s one car that I will hold onto as long as I can.

@ReconcileRedeem Год назад

It's a sad day... This car is the reason I started watching this channel. I bought a '93 300ZX (NA) five years ago. The car's time on the show gave me the encouragement I needed to ensure this will be my lifelong daily driver.

@EverydayDriver Год назад

Thrilled that you found us and glad to know the trips with this 300zx encouraged you to drive you own! Glad for have you with us!

@andreasbeaufort3594 Год назад

I got sad the second I read the title. That car seems wonderful to drive and live with and Todd make me NEED a 300ZX with his videos. Seeing him having to say goodbye to that car was really sad.

@eliasnava4851 Год назад

You will regret selling this car. Trust me. There’s nothing like it!

@L0rdVadr Год назад

So awesome. It’s weird to say but I’m actually sad to see this car go as well. Strangely enough this was my very first poster car as a kid. I remember when it first came out and the car magazine had a pull out poster in the center and it was this exact car in black. I even built a 1:18 Tomica plastic model replica which I still have btw. Thanks for sharing this car with us. We appreciate it.

@EverydayDriver Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@rosemont83 Год назад

I know how you feel man. I sold my beautiful 300zx twin turbo with 50k miles so I could make room for my 997.2 manual 911 turbo. Very bittersweet, loved that car and it was in excellent condition

@johnguanci2316 Год назад

So grateful that I get to go along for the ride with you guys. Todd, what an awesome car it is and whoever gets it, please drive it! Would be so cool to see where the old cars you guys have driven are now and how they are doing..."Where are they now?" episodes. Safe and happy trails.

@myfakeguuglaccount8307 Год назад

I've had my 19k-mile (yes, nineteen) TT since new. You don't get rid of a Z, you keep it and ADD to your collection. I don't think I've ever heard anyone who didn't get rid of theirs say they didn't regret it. Mine will be passed on to my son, so at least it'll stay in the family.

@NFawc 13 дней назад

You're passing it on to your son? ADOPT ME!! :)

@franciscomonterrosa7889 Год назад

That last statement. Gave me goosebumps and almost felt tears coming out of my eyes. thanks for making these amazing next level car enthusiast videos.

@Swermie Год назад

End of an era! I’m excited to see what comes next.

@griffsmotorthings Год назад

This car suits you SO much. Definitely sad to see it go. As a fellow Z owner, I can ultimately feel through the screen the tiny itch to keep it. But hey, there's always another one, and another car. Thanks for the amazing videos with it!

@EverydayDriver Год назад

Glad to have this resonate with other Z owners. Thanks for watching!

@StuckOnAFireHydrant 5 месяцев назад

Its sad to hear this car is leaving and remembering all the episodes of you absolutely loving it. If i was in a better spot myself I'd bet on it, but alas, I'll have to wait before i get to experience t-tops (which i will definitely do ine day!). I think your next project should be owning a 3000gt vr4 the competitor to this car. It'd be interesting to see both sides of the coin from someone who's had experience in both. There's a vr4 sitting outside a mechanic shop for the longest by me and if its still there in spring i think I'm ponying up and asking the guy if the owners willing ti sell it. Never hurts rlto ask; after all, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take!

@OceanLake66 Год назад

I’ve never owned a 300zx but I really empathized with you at the end

@rjkStudios Год назад

Sad to see this car go, but thank you so much for sharing it with us! I found EverydayDriver because of this car, and your road trip adventures with this car are my all time favourite RU-vid videos. Happy to be sticking around as a now regular EverydayDriver viewer, and looking forward to seeing what's to come. 😎👍

@EverydayDriver Год назад

Thrilled you found us thanks to the Z! Thanks for being with us and enjoying what we do!

@kayilacin6808 5 месяцев назад

I have had a 95 nin turbo Brit racing green back in 1998 in college. Such reliable and fun car to drive. The color was not exotic but it was different. I was amazed how such a sporty looking car was so comfortable on long distance trips

@petermacklin7870 Год назад

A wonderful tribute to your "origin story" car. I hope the new owner gets as much enjoyment out of it as you, your son, and Paul got. Cheers!

@LotusOwnersOfTexas Год назад

@mkei8973 Год назад

Good bye, from Japan!! The car was so nice. It has shared us many shiny experiences by completing each 4way trips!! Thank you. Many chipped damages are the evidence the car has done great drive experiences. Thank you, Todd!

@billtaylor8655 Год назад

Good luck with the auction! I’m excited to see how high it goes.

@jza80king Год назад

Todd was gracious enough to let me drive his Z when we were shooting the 90s JDM legends episode. Whoever buys your car is going to love it.

@EverydayDriver Год назад

Thank you, Edward!

@brandonroberts6471 Год назад

So very sad to see this go, I do wish I could bid on it however out of my range. Love the good bye good luck to the new owner!!!

@bryanlatimer7653 Год назад

That is an amazing gift of experiences that you have given your son....my fondest and first memory of the joy of driving was riding with my Father(R.I.P.) on a Sunday afternoon spontaneous drive thru the back roads of Arkansas in a Porsche 914 with the targa top removed as I watched the sky and my father row thru the gears.....that's were the joy of driving began for me. I now take my son to car shows often.

@zmarko Год назад

As someone who was so excited when you got this (I owned the exact car--except a '90), I'm sad to see this go. A great looking car.

@thirdpedalnirvana Год назад

I feel like there is no other car Todd can get that is more Todd than a 300zx. But I expect if this is going, something really special is coming.

@ryanfarrier3052 Год назад

Thank you for including us on your journeys with the Z.

@stephenjablonsky1941 Год назад

I had a 1991 ZX and then a 1995 and loved them both. It was beautiful inside and out and was a pleasure to drive. I still miss them.

@DanG90 Год назад

The best part of this from my perspective, is that you enjoyed it! You took it on long road trips, gave your son a new experience and showed us as the audience it can be something we could do too! Have really enjoyed the ride with this series, it's amazing how much of a lasting impression a first sports car can have. I can't believe its been 2 years 😮

@EverydayDriver Год назад

We’re thrilled to hear the road trips resonated, and we thank you for watching!

@revnto7k Год назад

Great watch. I love the Z32 so much, it's car I've loved since I was a young guy when it came out. She is nice and clean. Hope the new owner cherishes it.

My goodness Utah is beautiful!! Might have to move there after my parents pass. Beautiful views and beautiful roads!

@KenanTurkiye Год назад

In 1995 I had a '76 model muscle car, and a friend bought one of these in red. I always admired it ever since.

@jrbuch Год назад

It's a shame to see it go, but the road trips you've provided us have been great. I felt for a moment, personally attacked as my Toyota Soarer twin turbo (1JZ, RHD, 6speed manual) sits in the garage at the moment, in perfect condition. But due to little kids, it barely gets used anywhere near like it should. Life does change, but I know if I was to sell it, I would never get another one.

@NbaMed Год назад

Sad to see the Z go, loved the road trips!

@omgthedonny 11 месяцев назад

I owned a 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo and it as an amazing car but damn they are a pain to work on and fix yourself, but loved and missed mine :( had to find a specialist as most Nissan dealers won't even touch the car and required the small amount of techs that have has experience on it. when I blew he engine I got the Nissan 300ZX huge official Nissan book and with that it still took me 4 months to pull/rebuild the engine and make sure the maze of vacuum limes and what not were all correct and even then still had issues, like the Super HICAS system that was always breaking and had to be disabled lol so many stores can go on and on about but and the end of the day it was worth it and such an amazing fun care and so many things ahead of its time in the car, was just so awesome.

One of the most beautiful designs and a great sports car.

@pressley10r Год назад

You guys have made some great vids and content with this car. I remember how cool these were as a kid growing up in the 90s. Sadly, I don't think the styling has aged as well with the z32 like it has in the FD or NSX or 911 or even the supra among others. Still a very cool car. Hopefully the next owner will have some fun with it.

@SvenQ45 2 месяца назад

I know how it feels to drive a car (not a Z) for the last time. And the last short time was great. Had to go after 17 years (was 26 years old). And it was still my first car.

@ianhart8101 Год назад

I know the idea is to make some money, but I secretly hope that the discord group is SO good, that they know who the biggest fan of this car is. and that they coordinate to let him buy it for $1. The guy they know will keep it, love it, drive it, rinse repeat.

@treeskier802 Год назад

Wow. What a gear video. I watched it twice. I really enjoy the Everyday Driver videos. There are so many fantastic car reviewers on RU-vid but you guys really are my favorite. It’s too bad to see Todd have to part with that car. It’s one of my go to cars in Forza Horizon. And the 928 I know from Risky Business. But I now associate the 300z with Todd and the 928 with Paul. I’d love to bid on this thing. To own Todd’s car would be awesome. But I bet this car sells for like $31.5k. That’s my prediction. I bet a fan will pay for that great history and rightfully so. I wonder what car is next for Todd. I can’t wait to tune in to find out. Keep the great content coming. I’ve started the process of really researching to hopefully get something someday that I’ll enjoy (the RAV4 hybrid is reliable but man I miss having something fun). This site is the go to for me to help me decide. Thank you and I look forward to the next chapter.

@Slays_Media Год назад

I just rewatched all of your 300zx videos this week and I've been considering selling both of my Z's as well. They're neat cars, but they just don't have the performance or practicality to justify owning them longterm. I'm looking into another Porsche, but I worry I may get bored of that too quickly as well. 😩

Nicely done! Thank you for not titling this “Exit Interview”.

That's a hard pill to swallow. Having to admit that you can't keep your car, the car that you've always wanted, the car that you kept looking for, and once you had it you have to let it go...I don't know if I'll be able to do that one day. Maybe if I risk becoming destitute, I might.

@RemmikRotus Год назад

I don’t think I would ever sell my 1995 TT. Black beauty and almost completely stock. Definitely original staggered wheels and original radio. Not even tint on the glass. Just needs a paint job for sure. Post 1994 are the best years and 1995 is the last year you want for a TT. Can anyone name the reasons for post 1994 being best and especially why 1995 is the last year you want a TT version?

@mshahedhussain Год назад

I have a 1994 NA Coupe (not T-Top). The dual airbags, B-pillar seatbelt mounts, and the keyless entry are the main enhancements.

@myfakeguuglaccount8307 Год назад

If you're keeping it stock, the year doesn't matter, other than newer is always better (all else being equal). I wouldn't argue that 95 is the best. The earlier years are lighter, so there's that, and the aftermarket is friendlier to 90-95, though 96 can be modded as well if you know what you're doing. 96 is also the last and most rare, so it's not like you're going to have a lot of choices anyway from that year. Later models had better PTUs, fuel injectors, and electric HICAS, but earlier years had some better-quality materials and features in a few spots (the trunk "carpet" in late models is a joke). A lot of people put a lot of stock in their mods, but when I'm shopping for one (which is right now), I'll pay more for a stock, garaged Z32 regardless of year. If it's modded, I'll likely pass on it unless the mods are tasteful, minor, and can be reversed easily. No garish wings. No dumb fender flares. No poorly-sorted, problematic engine/electronic mods. That's just me.
