Pic of my first Z

Found this today and had to show. This was my first Z, a late '71. Taken in '74, before most of you were born. Nothing to this day compares to the sound of my Z drifting through a 25 mph curve at 60 in second gear. Wish I had her back. Expect this to happen to you.

must be nuts finding that old picture. i remember when i thought i had lost all my pictures of my 300zx and then found them on my sisters computer (go figure) and then missed it so much. then a little over a week ago the guy that bought it from me almost 2 years ago e-mailed me asking about a motor i sent with it then telling me all the crap that went to **** on him then he tried to play it off like im some sort of shady bastard.

This only proves that Z cars are female. If you dump her she punishes the new guy. You have to choose her new owner! He probably thrashed her the first night. You need to kick his ***!

no kick her *** it's a car,an inanimate object we just grow so emotionally attached to the car that we imagine it having female properties. she is not punishing the new guy it may be due to his inability to solder well or something else. don't act like cars are going to get mad cause they are not.

Oh yeah? So who's Amanda? Why do you say kick HER ***? I know it sounds weird but I design and build machine tools and every one has a soul.

I'll say anyday that my Lady(260z) has a soul, and shes the only lady that i can seem to get along with for a long period of time. Shes like a nympho, always up for it and always fun.

I'm sorry to say Tons, but i'm afraid you are either an extreme novice, or not a true Gear head. Z or otherwise. I love every machine i work on. They're like a wife. You can complain about them all day, but when you lay down at night, who are you thinkin about? That machine. weather its gettin to play with it tomorrow, or what parts you still need. that machine is on your mind.

My first Z was Rumble(280zxt), and he (yes HE, Rumble had *****.) was a blast. Bought him as a 350 SBC swap car and just couldn't do it. He was too much fun.

No, I didn't have the new camera set. I have the '70 and the '77 in the garage. The '70 is getting cellulite reduction and a butt lift. Hav'nt driven her in a year but I touch her every day. The '77 needed part of the firewall and inner fender replaced down to the frame rail and the rear valance pounded back out, new engine. If I just had more time for them.
