Although I consider my 2017 BRZ my first real sports car. I did have a 78' Datsun 280z which my dad bought and restored for me at the age of 9. I ended up selling the car with the help of my dad and purchased what I thought was the modern equivalent of the classic Z car I had come to love. I guess you can say my dad instilled the love for JDM sports cars at a young age.
