Imagine yourself in a position to test all the possibilites presented in
this thread with the woman of your most lustful thoughts and the temptation associated with performing/not performing those said deads. Take that temptation and multiply it by 370 (gotta keep it 370Z related you know).
I've just been put in that position (the x 370 one - or is that 370ZX ;P ) A 1972 240Z complete ground up restoration to its original condition from its 1973 race breed (a little history there but it had/has tripple Mikuni carbs, header, ported/polished heads, LSD - rare!) along with some minor tweeks (new 2 1/4" header/exhaust, cam, etc). I can go on and on but lets just suffice to say its essentially a new Z car from 1972 teleported to 2009. The guy is asking $11K. BUT I just bought my 370Z less than three months ago and while its no financial burden I'm trying to be finacially responsible pay the mortgages down, etc. I keep trying to push the thought back in my head that I'll never see this kind of car for sale again or that there are lots of nice tricked out 240Z out there......
How the heck do I walk away from this one? What makes it worse is my wife says go for it. ACK! Opinions welcome.... sigh....
