It's just cool to hop behind the wheel and think "Man, I could be sitting right here back in 1953/1955/1964.5/1969 when this was just getting started..."

I get all nostalgic and emo.
I' m not old old enough to remember 240Z era, but in history articles is described desperation of buyers. Too many buyers and limited production caused, that dealers became stealers. You want second mirror which came from factory with car? You have to pay for it, just like these carpets, stereo and many other parts of car were uninstalled for later install. Just for raising price and profit. Same it was with Jag E-type. Both cars were cheap in its time, so it was bargain.

Tradition is what I don't like about GTR. I want Skyline GTR. I know, that GTR R35 is first worldwide distributed Skyline, but where is Nissan's pride about this legend? Just like Z is legend after decades of great cars with soul and it's own way of philosophy how to make sports car.
