COVID-19
Unless of course you're filthy rich, then you can just breeze right through, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/liz-uihlein-covid-19-diagnosis-1.5801118 The area where I live in the province of Ontario is right on the verge of a lockdown at the moment, we hit 1600 new cases in one day last week. They say once we hit 2000 per day then the Bell curve takes over and then it will just skyrocket. I'm just going to have to kick the breathing habit.

Future of driving a "classic" car
That's one of the reasons why we're heading back to the moon, despite the agreements that were signed 60 yrs ago about no country claiming mineral rights or territory on the moon, you can bet your life that if a cost effective way is found there will be mining.

question about carbon parts quality/fitment
Who makes that panel and why on earth would they put such a badly fitting piece on the market? It's not like it can be fixed or modified to make it fit either.

What do you see here?
Something to do with the windshield? Maybe a rock pit in the windshield?

Z's on BAT and other places collection
I did, they are Appliance wheels as I remember. The car is in Cali now so who needs wipers? It certainly had the original wipers when it left me.

[2020] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
With the hard top I think it is just stunning, as elegant as a Jag, but as a convertible the B pillar wrecks it for me. It looks clunky.

how to sell original series I 240z?
Yes this is all doable and if you were going to keep the car for yourself to enjoy it for years to come then you would see people saying "Go for it". But as you are prepping the car to sell it then it really it is best not to mess with the originality. Carl's advice above is rock solid.

Cody's Goon
So I'm not sure these pics will be of much help to you, I'm nowhere near ready to cement the seals in yet so I can't replicate what is happening to yours. But I wonder if it isn't as easy as lubricating the seals a bit so they don't crumple but slide over the paint into the right position or maybe put the seals the way you want them and then keep the door closed for a week so they can take on some memory?

I I have new door seals, I'll pull them out tomorrow and install one to see if I get the same results.

C’mon! Own up ...
Uummmmm, every 2-3 months, I make like 3-4 calls on it a month. Absolutely, gas station maps have really taken a dive the last few yrs. The Rand-Mcnally large map books are pretty good and they don't fall apart the second time you open it.

C’mon! Own up ...
Unless of course you don't need those "capabilities", in my case they are just more useless features, that's why my flip phone is good enough for my needs. I turn it on to make a call and turn it off when I'm done. Paper map users of the world unite!

"Brand new" 280Z
When you sell your 280z it will be bought by a collector, he'll drive it around the block and park it next to all the other cars he doesn't drive.
