We didn’t get out except for this empty turn out. I saw people going to hike in places they shouldn’t, not sure what the cops and rangers are doing. There are empty parked cars around.
You could see the Farallon Islands today.

Would you take me for a ride in that car someday? After the hoax has passed?

Yeah no problem, I’m always up for a drive. My wife kind of hates it! Noise, stiff suspension, random fuel fumes. She wasn’t thrilled. It’s actually kind of a problem since I don’t know if she will ever ride in it again. Sylvie went to sleep in the bed in back.

I failed to adequately appreciate those cars 40 years ago when I had the chance.

My aunt was telling me how she remembers the first one she saw, I guess they were pretty memorable, I was born in 78 so I don’t know!

Y our car looks fantastic. And one of my favorite S30 colors, too. I don’t know why I don’t see more S30's with the headlight covers - I think they really add a nice touch to the front end.

Thanks, well my covers are real and hard to find so not many people in the US have them . They were illegal so the US didn’t get them, so Zs are cars missing parts. I used to live in Japan and my wife negotiated the purchase for me. Other than that you can’t buy good ones, only the cheap ones with a rubber strip around the edge like I used to have before restoration :

I did not know that. Interesting. I swear I've seen an aftermarket solution that doesn't have the chrome or black rubber though. But maybe that was an aftermarket assembly

I drove a guy’s 280ZX one time in 1986 or so, and rode briefly in an earlier Z-car once in around 1982, and a friend of mine owned a 240 or 260 that we rode around in around 1987. Pretty specific, eh? But it's been a very long time. Certainly nothing I can think of compares to those cars in any way.
