Of a 1978 Datsun 280Z. It now lives in my garage.

I plan on writing up a little story on my trip and drive back. Short version is, I had a grand time this past weekend.

I talked a lot to GhostZ on here. I decided to go with the 280 because of the 5 speed and strong R200 rear end. Also it's a little more beefed up in the body. This is the first car I've had with a body style like this and so far I really like it. I haven't driven on any twisty roads yet. Hope to late this week. I drove it home 8.5 hours and stayed cautious to make sure it'd get home.
