Here is a video of my son Taylor (techfracture) navigating his 1982 280zx around the cones at the Volvo Auto-X last Saturday. This ZX was one of mine once and he converted it to a turbo. Let me tell you this: It was incredibly difficult for me to hold onto the roof and operate the camera at the same time.

..and here is my other son Colin in his 1983 Volvo 244:

Funny -- those were my criteria for women when I was younger. As it turns out, it is not such a good approach always.

yes, the CS mirrors are nice, but they are manual mirrors with lockable pivot point so not sure if you want to use if your car is a dd. something to think about. for me my Z is my hobby car and noone but me comes close to the car so i dont have to worry too much about bumping the mirrors. i am careful not to bump it with my big head while QD-ing...

Good info, I may just hang with the OEM mirrors as the Z is my DD. Thanks!

my G's been having this issue off and on. it's not all the time but some times she literally can only fill up to about 90% due to the angle of the pump nozzle. some times she is full, but the sendor shows she's only 90% full and so on. i just reset my trip meter after each fillup and use that as my backup guage.

Mine registered just fine before it went into storage. I filled the tank to the brim and out the cover on it until spring. Both times I filled it up after storage, the fuel gauge gave me problems, not registering full. So I'm not sure if keeping a full tank is going to help at all, but doesn't hurt. Good tip using the trip meter. I do the same thing.
