In 1977, I was on a work trip to San Francisco, finished the job, and had three days until I had to fly back to Atlanta.* I rented a new 78 280Z (had to convince Budget, as I was about 21 and did not have an American Express card).* Drove to Reno, Tahoe, Muir Woods, etc.* Great trip, except I was by myself.* Got back, my 77 Corolla was not so great anymore.* Went to Datsun dealer, 280 was way out of my league.* Years later, 1988, buy 77 280 2+2, fix it up, enjoy, kids got too big for back seat, sold in 1996, bought BMW 535.* Expensive parts and everything else.* Kids grown, in 2004 buy 78 280Z 5 speed. Going to keep this one.
