I think I remember what being 22 was like, but I'm except that I was 22 when I bought my Scirocco.

Simply remove all reason and accountability from your current state, and there you are.

Half a lifetime of beatings through various live and learn moments adds a bit of grit and perseverance as well.

I love the 300zx, always wanted one and likely always will.

Is that a manual?? I really enjoyed the orange R Spec I tested but my feet didn’t really fit in the pedal box.

What size shoe do you wear?

I wear a 12 in case future daughter in law would like to know. I'm sure I fit the "pedal box" just fine.

Yes, on legroom, I haven't driven it yet

12, nothing crazy. My shoe would catch on the kick panel above the pedals with every shift. Certainly drivable but would be quite annoying day after day.

That’s a really odd miss on their part

Reviews indicate that it was some assembly error with a harness running under a bracket instead of over it. It'll likely be a 20 minute TSB on early cars and fixed on later ones.

That is kind of disappointing, I think I would’ve preferred it to the BMW in most other respects,

I haven't driven one yet, but I probably should have bought one. Orange + with 100k warranty for $20k would be pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see how long I can handle the boring car, gotta last at least another year for the wife's car to be paid off.

Don't wait until the driveshaft fails. You'll be fukt then. My dad's co-worker had a '12 and the driveshaft went. They had it towed to the dealer to trade it in and the only offer the dealer gave them was to call a tow truck to bring it to the scrapyard for them.

You mean the front - rear one in the MKZ? Mine is new, it had already failed when it went to auction. The little here put a new one in, cleaned it up, and sold it for a profit. Should last awhile.
