Before the 370Z was out, one of my sons and I were out running errands on a Saturday afternoon. We were driving by a Nissan dealer, so we decided to cruise the parking lot and look at the 350Z's. Oh yeah, I was driving my 71 240Z.

We were in the lot, stopped and sitting in the Z, looking at the cars and a salesman approached. I cut him off immediately by saying we were just looking. He took a step back and said "You have a nice car" (or something like that). I said thanks and then he asked "Who makes it?".

Amazing. I have Datsun badges on each fender and one on the trunk lid, plus the Z emblems where they belong.

I told him it's a Nissan, badged as a Datsun. He said, "Really?". I said "Get away from me" and did a 3500 RPM clutch dump to drive the point home.
