I had always liked the 280z's but around this time you could get the newer generation for about the same price. I thought it was nicer but in hind-sight, I should have got an 82 280 like I had wanted for a long time.

My 300z was an anniversary turbo edition and that seemed like a good thing at the time. It had computer controlled suspension and digital everything, ...which was very prone to failure! I put a nice stereo and alarm in it and it got me by for a couple of years. It was comfortable and fun. the worst part was when the heater got stuck in the on position all summer long. Instantly turned California into Arizona! When I got a much better job, I sold this car to my brother on payments so he could come work for me. A couple years later it got sold a few times. One day I got a parking ticket and bill for towing. Apparently nobody ever registered it. They sold it at auction and I never heard from it again.
