I pull in the driveway about 20min ago and what do I see parked there, but a Datsun 280ZX turbo, in what looks to be mint condition. I can't find the keys right now but I should have a full day with it tomorrow before it goes to the dealer to be sold. I'm stoked. I can't/wont drive the shit out of it, but it'll be the nicest "performance" car I've ever driven.

WOW! Thats awesome. Down the road, maybe even after the glory of the tib ( fing02.gif ) I want to pick up a 77 or 78 Z and restore it. Have fun with it man!

Took it out for a spin, very nice. Alot louder than I expected, not engine loud, but just road noise. Of course it probably has the most visibility out of any car I've ever driven in, glass T-top and all. The car is original, 107k miles. Anyways, it's gone now 02.gif

It was nice to be in a car that turned alot of heads, and you know that you're driving somewhat of a legendary car. Something I wouldn't mind getting in a few years after I buy a house.
