Wow, you guys are great.... Living in the midwest can be challenging at times with the weather, but I fully intend to drive the car (unless there is salt on the roads). I understand what happens to the bodies of older cars if you are not careful. That being said, I really would like to add some of these "Creature comforts" to the car over time. It sounds like I'm in the right place to learn what it takes. I know it's going to be a long haul and I accept that. Why else would I sell a car that is already in that place for one that is not? You'll be seeing alot from me on this forum, and I'm sure my questions will be elementary at first :paranoid: but I hope you'll be patient with me... .

Free is a great deal! Good luck!

First off, hundreds of early 70's Datsuns sit in garages for years and years without anyone caring about them. 6-7 months in a garage is not the end of the world for one, especially if it is cared for. Secondly I NEVER said salt would ever touch any part of the car. Neither my car nor my husband's car has ever seen salt. They are clean and comfortable in the garage while it's cold and ugly outside. The Cube is sad yes, it's the daily driver, but that's what it was bought for. Why do you infer that my husband isn't on the same page as I am? Thanks for the advice, but I'll decline it. Love, The evil car

Well spoken and advice taken! Thanks Dave!

, Hi Jessi! I'm in the same situation, except for the free car, I may have some knowledge about cars in general and work with my husband doing (brakes, coilovers, re-upholstery, other various "modifications"), but there's a whole lot more to learn and much more work involved in restoring an older car. I'd say do it if you have a passion for it. I'm sure at times it may be intimidating, but once you get past those times, you've learned that much more. If you do decide to go for it, I'll probably be on your heels (no pun intended!) Christine

Yes, I agree. The rx8 is not a daily driver, especially in the weather we're having now. But no, it's garaged in the winter, never seen salt. I've had a 72 Monte Carlo that I actually enjoyed even though it didn't have all of the special little conveniences that modern cars have. We do have three cars, A Nissan Cube is the dd. see ():

Hi all, I was referred here because I'm looking to buy a z (prior to 76). I've got a lot to learn and until I get my hands dirty, understanding some stuff beforehand should help. I currently have a 2004 RX8 which is in the process of being sold. I try not to count my chickens before they hatch, as they say, but I'm too excited about the prospect of owning one of these beauties. My husband has a 370z which is going through a little reform too. Anyway, if you want to check out our cars, I have them on my blog www.jdmgallery.com. Here's one pic of my current car: Otherwise, I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know that I'll be stalking... Christine
