Z Car Club of Colorado
Being a former club member from way back in the early 1990's, while stationed at the late Lowry AFB, it puts a smile on my face to know this organization is still going strong. Here's a blast from the past. My Z is the green one.

How to clean the console
The best method I found to restore a badly sun-damaged console was to remove it carefully out of the car. Then give it a good scrubbing with a soapy solution. Let it dry for a couple of days and finally spray it with something like Krylon satin clear acrylic.

Replacement seat covers-QUALITY??
Here's part of a thread that I contributed to over four years ago (where has the time gone!) showing a comparison to DI seat kits compared to the my orginal seats.

Leather steering wheel cover recommendation?
My 1993 Toyota MR2's steering wheel leather was cracking. I sent it in to American Stitches back in Feb 2005, and had it recovered for $279.00. Sounds like a lot, but the quality of their work was worth it...IMHO. The steering wheel is still holding up great today.

'73 240z with 6k MIles on Ebay (Again?)
Well, the car didn't sell this go around. I'm kind of shocked that the best offer the seller got was $14,100. It might be smart to sit on the car until the economy improves and Americans discover the next bubble.
