Also, the buying demographic for those cars has aged into their 70s and is unloading and downsizing. Transient collectables tend to lose value when the buyers/enthusiasts age out and younger collectors aren't interested. Dennis

I wonder what Megan and Harry will bring? Dennis

All international conflicts should blow over so easily. We vaporize your General, you shoot off a few rockets that are beyond their "Best If Used By" date and both side declare themselves winners. Dennis

Not sure what HER annual salary is, but I don't think it was six figures based on conversations over the years and what she drives. She referred to the cut in pay as "a house payment". Dennis

The Infiniti branch of Nissan is feeling the hit, too. The last time we took ours in for servicing, the deanship was like a ghost town. The service manager who has worked with us for 10 years at the dealership mentioned having to take a $1,500 per month cut in pay recently to keep the job. Dennis

But, now, he's got Dog The Bounty Hunter to deal with. Should make a good episode - especially if his compound is guarded by Hezbollah militia. Dennis

My 4/71 Z which I've owned since new has the ash tray and lighter in the center console like the one pictured above. No lighter in the dash. You likely have a replacement dash from a later Z. Dennis

Actually, Earth is an oblate spheroid. ? Dennis

Careful "BRO" you're stepping on my reality. Dennis

My wife, who is a psychologist, taught me that lesson over 35 years ago. She told me that we each live in our own reality. Keeping that in mind has helped me in dealing with many of the foolish things I've heard people say over the years. Enjoy your reality, but realize everyone else has one, too. Dennis

Welcome!! As the owner of a '71 since '71 I can assure you you're in for good times. Looks like the previous owner really liked white paint. Dennis

So, all good! What's the next adventure? Dennis

Parts for your new purchase shouldn't be a problem - except maybe the cost depending on your level of replacement. There are enough sources of new, reproduction, and used parts that you could probably build a '71 from scratch if you had the time and bank account. Any particular parts you're looking for at this time or just anticipating need? Dennis

Perfect for tailgating before a football game. Dennis

Can't go wrong with new spark plug wires, points, and plugs. You'll want the ignition system to be in good condition. If you want to get really thorough, add a distributor cap, and new rotor to the mix. Then, head out on the highway looking for adventure. Have fun with your "new" Z! Dennis

I'd buy one if they decided to build it. Dennis

Great looking Z and it appears the bidders agree. Dennis

Well, that looks easy. ? Dennis

Visual proof that your Hoover sucks. ? Dennis

Their web site ( https://szrpro.com ) lists social media links. You may want to post your experiences on those links as well as on Yelp. Not a lot of options, unfortunately. Dennis

Canadians...everyone likes Canadians. When on a military project in Peru, we would usually tell the locals we were Canadian if they asked where we were from. Seldom mentioned that we were USAF. All was good because everyone likes Canadians. Dennis

Thanks for the kind words Cliff. Keep on babbling. And all those years I thought I was just keeping the World safe from Communism. ? Dennis

Is there a state licensing board to complain to? I’d be interested in seeing the service procedural checklist and summary sheet. If they have one it probably looks something like this: Replace plugs, wires, points, rotor, condenser, & cap Set timing Check brakes for wear Check brake fluid Check tire pressure Adjust clutch Change oil & filter Top off radiator fluid Check to see if owner is in the waiting area Drive it like you stole it

I've printed your comment and passed it along to my mechanic to use during my next maintenance interval visit. It's good I still have the tie down hooks on the rear so he can easily attach the chains. Dennis

Be thankful they don't run into stationary objects to test the seatbelts. ? Dennis
