The Z has cleaner lines. That weird serrated thing by the back of the window is something that's a little weird. But my emotional connection is admittedly with the ZX. My dad had one when I was young and then my best friend in high school bought one.

True JB, we won the War and Japan floods the US market with these rice rockets. When my brother bought his 1973 it was already 10 years old. Young kid, no cash, it served its purposed. Added Duel Webers, it flew!

240 Z US sales:
1969 = 3
1970 = 17,005
1971 = 40,219
1972 = 60,025
1973 = 51,332
------ Total 168,584

My favorite car was this one



It wasn't overpowered but damn it handled beautifully. Fun to drive especially with the roof stowed.

In 1966, the year I entered Michigan as a Freshman, I bought this used car, still one of my favorites, for $4500.

........ and this 67, in 1969, for $6700 after saving up from two summers of night shifts at $14/hr in the Corvair Plant in Ypsilanti. The UAW had it going on in those days!

My current All American, 2007 C7 Coupe. A sweet driving machine.

..... and just so there is no question with regard to my love for American Automobiles and no particular preference for GM, my wife, Ann's, Mustang convertible on the right:

Get those cars off the lawn!!

My current All American, 2007 C7 Coupe. A sweet driving machine.

That would be a C6. The C7 is the new one

Definitely, off the lawn! The Santa gnome deserves to have a bit of space around him.

[Jeff Buchanan]

That would be a C6. The C7 is the new one

Whoops ..... right ...... 2007, C6.

Cars on the lawn ..... I tried to make a Christmas Card from that photo. It sucked, just like the picture does.

I remember when you rolled up to the Masters in Augusta in that baby, thought it was Tiger Woods pulling into the wrong parking lot. Didn't you have a red fastback Mustang or did you cleverly "sell it" to Ann?

If only you still had that 1967 Stingray!

The first car I bought was from my mother at 16, a Monte Carlo for $500 bucks, embarrassing. However my second, while in high school was a Sexy Dago, the 1985 Alfa Romeo 2.0 L, I used to fill that car full of girls.
