i drove the zx on its first road trip since i got 2 yrs ago. it was only 150 miles round trip to see a small car show in wyo. last saturday. my 13 yr. old son and i drove to the show. it was a guy road trip and we had tons of fun. didnt take the camera ( wife and daughter were taking pics of flowers). we saw some nice roadsters and a few camaros and mustangs but no z s. still had a fun day and the zx ran great with no problems!!!!
my son is just starting to get into cars and im trying to incourage him as much as possible. i was a car nut at 5 yrs old!
by the way my son said he likes my zx best out of all the cars!

Good trip! But, does he have good taste or is he learning diplomacy at a young age? j/k..I know it's good taste. I would like to go on a short one like that, but it's lovebug season here..not good for cars...

My youngest son has had his 83 ZX for several months now and his love of Z cars starting by helping me work on my 78 a couple of years ago. We have made several road trips together this summer and we will be driving both cars to our Z club meeting in Knoxville tomorrow night.
When we are spending time together with the Z's, life seems a little easier. We may not always agree about music, friends, sports, or other teenager topics. But we certainly can always find common ground with our Z cars.
Keep using the car to spend valuable time with your son, you will really appreciate those memories when you are left with just the Z.
