Yes, once we are hooked, we stay hooked...

The new technology is just incredible...I am 53, so i grew up driving on square bias ply tires. Before Radials were invented, haha....Once you can race on those, all this new stuff just makes it that much more fun to drive really hard....Of course on a closed track.....

I had huge passion for my 77 280z which I traded (It was terminally rusted out) for a 94 Miata. That car was fun to drive but was a bit underwhelming and soulless. I had it for 18 years!!! Wow. Time flys.

Now I have returned to the Z family and of course wonder why I ever left. In retrospect I wish I would have gone from the 280 to a 300. Those 18 years might have been different I think. Ah well... My wife gives me grief about having a car I can only haul 2 ppl in, but I'm not making the same mistake twice. I love my Z, I've always loved Zs and I will always have one waiting for me on the garage. (Right next to a minivan if she gets her way

)

My crrent dd

old trusty. 98 volvo s70 t5m (about twice as rare in this country as 458 italias... no really.... 361 ever imported)

for anyone who ever wants a reliable heart breaker on the streets, go for the volvo

170,000 miles STOCK CLUTCH, stock turbo, and runs like a champ

Yeah, I guess it's just the sentimental value. It was the car that got me into imports and modding in general, so it'll always have that special place haha. Needless to say I tend to forget about it every time I crank the Z though!
