I could sell a couple of cars to come up with the cash. Unfortunately, it's just not practical to daily drive a racecar

Best wishes for your future endeavors. Please stick around and share them with the forum

I've got the Fairlady Z (blue lettering) white strut bar and matching engine cover you did for daisuke way back when - my absolute favorite cosmetic mod and always an eye-catcher

I get it when your passion kind of runs out. I'm older but new to the track scene. I used to have a bass boat and tournament fish, had 2 or 3 bird dogs. No bass boat and my only bird dog is 15. Still love to hunt and fish just not rabid about it as used to be. Good luck and stay in touch.

Sold the car and trailer last weekend. Was kind of sad, but also kind of nice to see the new owner thrashing it at Road Atlanta for ZCON today.

Life moves on. Things come and go.

You still doing powder coating?

No, I retired that business a bit more than a year ago. When I was promoted to Captain at Delta, I started to cut it back, but realized I had to be either in business and committed to it, or not. Had to start it due to the pay cuts after 9/11 and Delta's bankrupcy, but have fully recovered from that now,and then some. For about 10 years I worked 28-30 days per month between both jobs.

You do what you have to do to pay for your hobbies.

You should hook up with Onzedge. He flies Delta about twice a week.

Good luck to you with your future plans.

Don't be a stranger either.

It’s a manual, with a copy of Nissan’s first ever SRM!

Does it work like what's on the Z?

Thought Porsche gave up on the manual.

Is it a 2019?
