And then there was one...

Well, the mighty Z32 was more of a burden than I could handle, it was going to take too much work and distract me from finishing my 280ZX... Not to mention that the HOA was all up in my grill about the thing sitting in my driveway. Someone with a good reputation as a Z32 guru expressed an interest in taking it off of my hands and returning it to it's glory.

I no longer have to entertain any thoughts of selling the 280ZX as it is now my ONLY Z car. The Z32 has gone on to a new home where it will be properly loved and cared for. When the time comes, I will buy another one. Most likely a TT that won't need a major overhaul before I can drive it. I'm gonna miss that car but I know it's in a better place now

Check the sig and avatar...

Nice to see you've left the dark side of the force Rod. That avatar you were using was throwing me off.

Man, that sucks. I atleast hope you kept the tradition of that car alive. The guy I got the car from, got it for X amount, then I got it for the same amount, and you got it for the same amount as I got it for. So I hope you did not break the tradition.

Scared me with that thread title for a sec. Thought you got rid of the 280. Good riddens I say. If you cant stick your entire arm down inside the egine bay you dont need it.

That poor Z32 was such a ****. And she just keeps getting passed around. We need to come up with a really good slutty name for her.

That car was definitely the town bicycle... No doubt. It was cool though. At least I got to drive it once . That's more than some folks around here can say about their cars . I still want a Z32, but I'm going to take my time and find a newer TT that's ready to rock when I get it. I don't want anymore long term projects for a while. I still have "Visitation Rights" for the white car, so it will be interesting to see what happens with it.
