My old 280Z (who doesn't wish they sold a car?)

Kind of implies a sequence...

You old dog...

It took a V12 Ferrari to get my present wife to go on our first date!! (and she has been worth every bit of effort too!).

Carl,

I picked up my wife for our first date in a 3-speed 1965 Mustang. It had 110K miles on it when I bought it during college, and 235K miles on it when I sold it. I think it was the only car that I've owned that I sold for more than I paid for it ($400 > $750 ). I later found out that she had a car that her grandfather bought her for college: A 1974 260Z. I fixed the vapor-lock problem for her. She finally agreed to marry me, almost 8 years later.

Neat memories...

I agree!

..it sounds like it's time for you to get a 240-Z for your next trip to the beaches...

I am still looking. A nice 1970 240 isn't easy to find.

I've found that "a little rust in the doors" means that the door is about to fall off.

I'll post track pictures of the Macau 240Z in three weeks.
