And, with the Z, you don't need a factory trained mechanic on retainer for most maintenance and repairs. Dennis

It will be interesting to see if there's much of a drop off in car ads as a result. Dennis

Me too - for over 50 years. I guess I'm lucky to still be alive. Dennis

Missed the diesel torque question. Dennis

Aftermarket wheels. May have had fake wire wheel spoke inserts originally. Dennis

Trust me, Nature isn't the only one. ? Dennis

I'm hoping to be Mr. Roomba. Just charge me up and let me go! Dennis

Very slick car. I was driving downtown yesterday and saw the Spider version with the retractable top just after the driver had parked and was raising the top. It looked good both ways. Dennis

Found several and ALL the sales fell through? What's the problem? Dennis

AAA Card. That's a serious drive in an unproven old car. Have it checked by a mechanic when you get back to Sacto. Good luck! Dennis

The "leather" boot attached to the shift lever attaches to the opening in the center console with clips. Lacking those clips, you can use small paper clips like these: https://tinyurl.com/yxcl27rc They're hidden, so it won't matter to anyone but you. When you upgrade to a 5 speed, the later style inner rubber shifter boot is bolted to the floor with a metal frame. Dennis

That would have been nice to have. Dennis

Cooled by a 4,000 rpm brushless fan or an external heatsink according to the write up. Must get quite hot. Dennis

Not to play "Can You Top This", but 1972, Topeka Kansas, gas wars, 23¢ a gallon. When the gas stations weren't trying to put each other out of business by selling at rock bottom prices, the price would go back up to about 32¢ per gallon. Dennis

$35 for 10 minutes...cheaper than a trip to the casino and more fun. Dennis

Have you checked all wiring, again? the manufacturer's write up says you can connect to a computer for set up. Did you try that? http://www.123ignition.nl/product.phtml?id=220 Dennis

Fun video, but after listening to the song, I'm kinda glad he wasn't driving a 6-speed. ? A version with subtitles would be interesting. Dennis

No apology needed. And you're correct. No harbor Freight in Palm Springs. I have to leave town to shop at one. I can relate to going stir crazy on a rainy day. The rain here last Thursday wiped out the only three roads leading out of town to the interstate. Nine inches of rain locally. Stay dry! Dennis

Harbor Freight has a 90 rivet set that contains 50 5mm rivets for a reasonable price. https://www.harborfreight.com/90-piece-pom-rivet-assortment-67611.html Dennis

I used cotter pins as replacements for the pins. The looped head of the pin sticks out of the rivet and makes it easy to pull out when it's time to pull a panel again. Dennis

I've always said, "Long cold winters are the Mother of invention.". Having spent my first 22 years in Northern Wisconsin, I know from experience. Dennis

Yup. Signed in 10/15/14, last visited 10/21/14. I sense a lack of commitment. Dennis

A trip down Memory Lane. I attended an aircraft safety school course at Lowry about 1976. Spent a little time around B52s as an aircraft maintenance officer at March AFB in California and K.I. Sawyer in the UP of Michigan. Hard to believe the B52 has been around since 1955 and the planes are now older than the people flying in them. Thanks for the time trip! Dennis

Just more proof that idle hands are the Devil's workshop. Dennis

Not sure if this program cover has been posted previously. If it hasn't been - Enjoy! If it has been - Here it is again! A Porsche friend sent it to me because of the 914 pictured, not realizing I also have a Z. Dennis
