Ya, that's why I didn't end up purchasing the 300zx when I was down there. I am going to sell a few toys before I buy another one.

Luckily someone is interested in my Roadster and my motorcycle is for sale in the Cycle Trader. I'm hoping to get those out of here soon.

I'll drive down and pick up the 300zx as soon as I get those things out of here.

Uhhh yeah I forgot about the little Roadster..

Can you list all the cars you currently own, and also where do you keep them?!

Anyway, guys I didn't buy that 300zx (Z32) over the weekend.

I decided to hold off until I sold a few toys first.

I will still try to buy the Z32 I saw at the show. But, I might not get to see it since they are selling it now. It all depends on how fast I can get rid of these other toys.

The Z32 I have in mind is a very nice white twin turbo. It's got Stillen exhaust and a Stillen body kit. I will post a picture of the car when I get to work in the morning. The pictures are in my laptop and I can't get to it at the moment.

Here's my list:

And I thought I had too many vehicles.

How and the heck do you deal with Insurance on all these cars?

[Mike]

Well, not all of them are insured.

I only insure the cars that I use regularly.

[2ManyZs]

Now we know why you can't finish your Z, you just have too many vehicles to play with. You have to many other toys to keep you from the one that needs your attention the most.

I'd have to vote against the last two on the list, too many nuts on the road today, a lot safer in number 1!

Okay, here's the final story on my Z32 experience.

I was walking around the show and in total awe at all the sweet rides. After I sat down near the CCZCC area I noticed a good looking stock 300ZX TT sitting in the parking lot behind us. So, I went over to take a look.

It was for sale. So, I called the owner and asked him to come back so I could take a look at the car. The car itself was in pretty good shape (except for a broken part of the front valance). I asked one of the CCZCC members (can't remember his name right now) to come take a look at the car with me. Since he owned a red 300zx tt, I figured he would be a perfect person to help me out.

After I started the car, he said that blue smoke came billowing out of the right rear tailpipe. It remained blue for a good period of time before it cleared out. This led us to believe that the turbo seals were going out and would need some work soon.

Too bad, because the car only had 51k miles.

Anyway, he recommended that I continue to browse through all the cars in the show. He saw a good looking white '91 sitting somewhere on the West side of the street.

So, I did... I continued to walk and take pictures when I came across a very clean white '91 with a Stillen airdam. Man, I loved that car. It looks very clean and I managed to talk with the owner of the car for a few hours. To make a long story short, I found out that this lady has owned the car since new and babied it through the whole life... every time a part needed to be replaced, they would use NEW parts because they claimed that remanufactured parts are just not good enough. I also discovered that they have a few show cars and take very good care of their entire collection. She was getting rid of this car because she wants to buy a new car to haul around her grandkids.

The car has a new Stillen airdam and body kit. Since the paint didn't match quite right, they had the whole car repainted. The car has been garaged and never wrecked. I also have some interior shots and everything in this car is absolutely beautiful.

I've always wanted t a 300zx tt to drive around as my main mode of transportation. And, I thought this would be perfect.

I couldn't buy the car that weekend becuase I didn't have my financing in order. Plus, the wife wants me to sell a few other toys before I go get another one. So, I put it on hold.

I really want the car and I'm going to buy it just as soon as I get rid of these other items. Luckily for me, I have a few bites on the Roadster and the bike should be gone within a few weeks.

Here's a picture of the car:

Mmmmmm... nice...

As a matter of fact, I have this black 300ZX with the same stillen kit on it on my calendar right now!

Is a good kjit, but I'm not too fond of hte way they have done the indicator/fog light housings...

Good luck

It's a sweet car Mike why fight it.
