Hey man, I remember those, I bought one in 1977.
Thats not the same car.
Oh well I don't see them much anymore.
I think one reason is a bunch of people left them to die in their backyards. Makes me mad, how hard is it to cover something if you can't do anything about it at the time.
The other big one is, "I used to date a guy who had one of those" Lots of ladies approach me with that, I can see their expressions remembering what took place in the Z...

They always mean a later one and they don't know. Some people think its a 280ZX or what they remember of them. A few knows its a 240 and say things like, "I was from Montana and this guy got one in 197o, we never saw anything like it!" But they are rare.

I've had a few middle aged women who look like they are down with reliving some memories, they get in your personal space!

That's one of the cool things about owning an old car. They really do bring back memories for people, but you have to be ready and willing to be bothered all the time.
I remember when I had my Super Beetle - it was like a wasserpumpen magnet. Every time I left it in a parking lot, I would come back to find at least one of the new retro Beetles parked next to it.

I have had other Datsuns park next to it. I get notes all the time, I am collecting them. I'm starting to think about how to go back in time and get a Z because it clearly had an impact on some chicks. One lady was so wide eyed, she said she knew a guy with the exact color and she was touching my arm. There is just enough space in the back to be a shaggin wagon. In my case the dog loves it, he turns around and looks out the back like a TV. I have to keep a harness on him and tie him to the roll bar so he doesn't bonk his head on the window.

I had a guy FOLLOW ME HOME FROM WORK last week to talk about my Z.
He pulls in my driveway right after I back in. It freaked me out. Hopped outta his truck and ran over to me. Really freaked me out. Knocked on my fucking window and said he liked my car. Ok dude.
I got out, made some small talk and he told me ALL about how he used to date a girl named "Sally" that drove a 240Z. His literal words: "Man. Sally. Those legs. That chest. She really knew how to drive that thing." I swear he had a half chub by the time he finished reminiscing.

Yeah thats one of them, one guy stalked me across the home depot parking lot. we actually have a lady who is the original owner of a 72' and she has an auto, asked me how she could restore the interior and get black, she had tan. So I told her they make kits etc...

Ya there's a ton of people who like the car and want to talk about it. I like to say that it's a middle aged dude magnet haha I enjoy talking about it, but that incident was borderline creepy.
I don't own a 2002...yet. Hopefully in a few years! My avatar is a picture that I took from a 2002 Turbo though. Good eye. The guy who owns it pretty much only take it out for C&C and the European Auto Show. It's not out often but it's always one of my favorite cars at these gatherings.

Yeah those are rare, I'd still drive the shit out of it. There is a guy here from S.America who went to Germany and brought back two fast back 2002s, they are all set up nice now, pretty cool.
