Greetings to the Forum. My Z is a '73 240, all stock inside/out with original 3spd. automatic (drinking coffee while driving to work is impossible with a manual... as I've learned from personal experience. ), 119K original miles. A very fun ride, indeed. I'm looking forward to learning more about the vehicle and the culture from the Forum, since this is my first fun car.

Welcome. This is a great place to learn. I disagree with one thing however. I drove to work with coffee and 5 speed for many years:)

I think a better argument for an automatic is the terrible traffic during the rush hour(s) here in Austin. I rarely try to drive anywhere between 7-11AM and 2PM-7PM, I always end up waiting through multiple stoplights or idling on the freeway!

Welcome fellow Texan. This forum is a great source of information and very helpful, knowledgeable folks.
