My Stepmother had a 1982 Datsun 280zx which was the most awesome car out at the time. It was a trending thing, ...small Japanese sportscars. Hers was a lot of fun. It was fast and responsive with a 5-speed stick-shift.

Mostly, I rode around in "the boot" (trunk) but there were a few rare occasions when I had the opportunity to drive that thing a few years later when I had a driver's license. It was a privileged experience that only a few of the kids ever got and it was pretty rare. I've always had a great fondness and appreciation for that model car because of my stepmom. She had great taste in things. My younger brother has some stories about her car and he eventually bought one just like it many years later. I like Z's.
