Z once again

Z-agin · 11-05-2010, 04:45 PM

Hello to all

First I must say it is so rewarding to be driving a Z again. Held on to my 78 280Z up until 2006, I missed the car.

Here's what happened just the other day. My wife and I went in for an oil change for our Maxima not intending on purchasing a car, and every time before she would go and sit in one of the Z's, back 3 years ago she did this when we were purchasing the Maxima, just as before always saying its just too much or its just too impractical etc, etc.

Well, here she is sitting in one of two 2010's left, one gun metalic 6 spd manual coupe and the other a red 7 spd auto roadster.

We drove up in a car you needed the state of Montana to turn around and we left in THE RED ROADSTER!! Im still shook up

Man these things have changed since 1978!!!! Im freaked out bad, its an animal!

Anyway I had to share this story and what better place than here,

Good to be on board

PS:
She's already set to use it in a homecoming parade this evening, life's good

beautiful car

Thanks to all for the compliments. I must look up the new owner of my 280 to see how the car looks today. He was supposed to do off the frame restoration, I mean even the spare tire was original never used

It would be nice to still have her, however you know how circumstance come up. This red one now I believe I must keep
