That's one fine lookin' Z car. I had a 300 ZX that I absolutely loved. When Nissan...
... reintroduced the Z I always admired the car. Yours is a particularly good looking example.

My '81 Gran Prix was called "P-O-S"! And it was.

My old 1972 Chevy Kingswood Wagon was "the Titanic" because it usually had far too many people crammed into it.

My wife called her '57 Bel Air "Jitney" (small bus???). OH, WAIT. Scion xB = Toaster...:-))
And my grandkids called the T&C van the "Big Red School Bus".

I once had a '76 Toyota GT Coupe that literally was a "P-O-S"...
I sold my '74 Dodge Charger to get it, as I was going to college after serving in the USN.
I soon discovered that this particular car was the front 1/2 of "car-A" & the back 1/2 of "car-B" grafted together & permanently afflicted with a front end shimmy that could never be permanently repaired. Each alignment I gave it lasted about a month before the violent shaking began again. I persevered with that beast until I graduated & then quickly bought a new vehicle once I landed a job.
I should've kept that Charger - it would've been cheaper to pay for the gasoline in the long run...groan, groan, groan!

Our 1975 Valiant was, of course, Prince Valiant. My wife, however...*PIC* ...preferred, "Unmarked Police Car"
