I haven't had the Z out for much more than commuting in the last few weeks, been far too busy, and the weather was just lousy to put the top down, so she sat in the garage a bit too much.

Took her out during lunch to run errands, got into a coversation at both the bank and the gas station. Met a couple of nice people who are car-nuts like we are. I get the "nice car" pretty often, but I forgot how nice it was to be standing around at a gas pump and talking about performance cars with someone else. I've met the owners of some pretty nice stuff over the years, including a couple of Supra's.

Just had to post this up after a damn good day in the Z.
Oh yes, its nice that people recognize them....

Ha, there is a Corrado for sale in my area, seems to be in good shape too. Dont see those too often...
