My ZZs

I bought a 1971 240Z in October 1970, and drove it for years. Life got in the way, and I had to part with it, but I always missed the fun of driving it. Well last March, I remedied that with the purchase of my 2012 Touring/sport MT coupe. The fun has returned, and I always seem to have a smile on my face.

How do they compare?

Well I lived in Napa, CA back then, and driving around Lake Berryessa was a blast. There wasn't much straight road. I live in GA now, and the roads aren't as curvy where I am, but I search them out and enjoy. I'm still breaking it in, and getting it ready to take to Roebling Road so I can get some track time on it. Probably later in the summer. Oh, the 240Z had half the power that the 370Z has, so now there is a little more spirit to the drive.
