Arne Posted December 7, 2007 Share #13 Posted December 7, 2007 They are still relatively common here on the West coast. I see 2 or 3 a week. Mostly 280s, but 240s aren't all that rare, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzi Lon Posted December 7, 2007 Share #14 Posted December 7, 2007 I live on a VERY busy hiway and enjoy watching traffic. You wouldn't beleive what goes by my house! I hadn't seen a first gen in years until about two weeks ago within an hour of each other. A rather rough white one on an auto carrier headed east, then a very fast orange one headed west with a dealer tag and both occupants smiling big. There is a rotary 1st gen in town that has changed hands 4 times in 2 years, now down. On a sadder note, I also saw most of the damaged cars and trucks that went through the Greensburg Tornado, hundreds of them, some were classic. It was amazing the amount of damage to everything, not a straight peice of metal anywhere.Bonzi Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazdatsun428 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted December 7, 2007 Not to knock the young guys, but I also check out an rx7 forum on occasion. I find that alot of rx's in general are owned by teens and twentysomethings looking for a cheap ride and then they spend a whole lotta bucks in mods. I read one thread where a guy had like 5 of them, him and a buddy each took 1 out to check out the highwater situation in the NW US. Needless to say, 1 stalled in some highwater, the other guy chained up to pull it out but the 1st car started to float pulling both cars down the swollen creek. Not to laugh at the situation up there or for their personal loss, but what a sight that must have been! Whatever happened to common sense???

sblake01 Posted December 7, 2007 Share #18 Posted December 7, 2007 I also live in SoCal, like Antonio, but in northern San Bernardino. I don't see them as often as he does in Covina which is roughly 40 miles west and slightly south from here. But I do see them, at least 4 or 5 240Zs per week in my travels as well as about the same number of 280Zs. The 260Zs are harder to distinguish from a distance but I've seen them on the roads here also. I don't really focus on the S130s, Z31, 32, but those 350Zs seem to be everywhere.

lonetreesteve Posted December 18, 2007 Share #23 Posted December 18, 2007 Very rarely do I see 240Zs here in the Denver area. I see more 280Zs and even more 280ZXs and 300ZXs. I'm not surprised about the number of Zs in California, since there are more Zs there than anywhere else in the entire world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
