Happy 40th, Nissan Z!

October 15, 2009

I confess-here at The Garage, Gary and I haven’t been exactly shy about our admiration of the Nissan Z, especially in its current 370Z and more potent NISMO Z iterations.

Nissan reveals 370Z prior to LA auto show

October 30, 2008

I have to admit something rather shocking. When the 350Z first arrived in my service department back in 2003, I was initially not overly impressed. In fact, I didn’t even give the car a second glance. Fed up with overweight, over priced Japanese sports cars of the Nineties, I expected the 350 to be more [...]
