Some of the old school members may remember me; I had a black '93 2+2 that I sold in 2002, and an aztec red '90 TT that I sold in 2004.
Here's the latter when I sold it:
I basically regretted selling my Z ever since since I sold it, and always planned on getting another one.
Well, that time has come: I picked up a cherry red pearl '90 TT this past weekend down in Ohio. Rented a car to drive down, returned it to an Ohio Hertz location, and drove the Z home.
Bought from the original owner, it's got 55k miles on the clock, and is all stock except for a Stillen exhaust, aftermarket headunit and an integrated "Cobra" radar detector.
The car came with every maintenance record since day 1, the OEM bra, cover, titanium key, even the original brochures and FSM. Full 60k was performed in 2008.
Here's some pictures. The rental (I got upgraded!). 
Me with the original owner when I picked it up: 
I pulled over at a park nearby to the owner's house to snap a few pictures (yes I know, wheel police). 
When we pulled the owner's plate off the car, we were surprised to find these numbers chalked on underneath. Dealer numbers maybe? 
All buttoned up ready for its journey home: 
And back in my driveway! :) 
It runs and drives EXTREMELY well; I had forgotten how terrific these cars are. It feels so nice to be in a pure-bred sports car again after being so used to a souped-up economy car.
Although the car was always garaged and only driven in nice weather, the paint is in dire need of a professional wheeling; I'm confident the paint can be restored to like-new condition but it will take more work than I'm able to do. I will probably wait until spring for that.
I've been browsing the forum fairly regularly for the past few years, so I'm up on most of the new innovations, but I'm sure there's a lot that I've missed and I'll still have lots of questions to annoy everyone with.
For the time being, I need to focus my funds on a daily driver, but of course I can't help but have many plans for the Z.
Anyway, I'm extremely happy with my purchase, and am very excited to be a Z'er again; just thought I'd say hello! :)
