A vast 40 year distance, making life good along the way with my Z's.

The original 1971 240Z, my Redwing, turned 100,000 miles in 1976. We celebrated with a toast of wine. A good day, life was good.

Forward 40 years later to now, a 1976 280Z, my RedBird, turned over 100,000 miles in 2017. So we celebrated in the 40 year style, we toasted with a water bottle instead of wine. So I am now 40 years older too. Another good day, life is good.

Thought you might be interested in this bit of trivia, my beautiful Z cars have/are carrying me thru a good life. Nice eh?

:wub:

If I live another 20 years there'll be one of these in my Z. LOL

I don't see how you do it Jai. Getting in is easy, just fall in, but climbing out is tough.

Desire is a powerful force.

It keeps you young at heart to, desire that is. Jai will out live us all.

I like to think I'm keeping mine as "low mileage" as possible but actually I'm so lazy I jump in my Camry instead of removing the car covers on my Zs. LOL

Well, I for sure will never grow up. I'll mature, but never get o7d. (Don't even want to type that nasty word.) Hahaha...

Thank you for your sweet words, I love it! Love folks appreciating my lifestyle!

Thank you Mark. But when I am stopped anywhere, by men wanting to eye caress RedBird, they are so full of her that I'm ignored. Hahaha...

That's ok, I don't want to meet anyone with improper thoughts...

The beat goes on,.....yesterday a fine young man was so excited to walk around her and eyeball her beauty, he almost salivated. It was so cute.

Your desire to drive Redbird as a daily driver has been astounding to me, you always come up with a plan that works and saves money.
