I used to think station wagons were lame but when subaru decided to make one with a turbo charged boxer engine and a stick shift I began to change my mind. A lightly used forester makes a great family car. Very reliable, roomy, quick and often found under 25k.

I love my 79' but is it me or is the 79' the black sheep of the Z world?

Ok, how much did the engine/tranny cost, and also how much did the parts for converting it cost?

I also own a 79 zx. I had major leaks all over the place. The hatch was the biggest leaker.

How much did that cost?

If s130 panels were available I would be interested.

Now I see back seats in sports car as a disadvantage. You can't enjoy the driving experience with an annoying backseat driver. Plus its just more dead weight to carry around.

No I don't mind at all. In fact I agree it probably would have been something I would have said about Datsun 40 years ago. It never occurred to me when I was writing about Hyundai that I was forgetting automotive history.

I think Hyundai should stick to doing what they do best and make cheap economy cars. On paper the Genesis looks good and even in person it's not so bad. Here is what's wrong with the car, it's a Hyundai. IMO people are not going to spend $30K on a Hyundai. Even if the car is a steal new (which it seems it is), most of the buying public is still going to view it as a Korean knock-off. They sort of tried this before with the XG350 and they did not exactly move a lot of them.

Graphics are pretty poor but not surprising given the games system requirements are "Windows XP or Vista, Mouse, Keyboard and a Desire to Drive Insanely Fast!" Does not look like much engineering went into it. I would expect that lack of polish in a freeware game but not one costing $30!

I have a tube that goes from the block to the bottom of my intake.

Please don't! I have seen more then one honda guy do that and its just hideous! The Z deserves better then that!

Well since you are obviously already spending big dough so why dont you get a nice custom fiber hood, will give you plenty of clearance and lose some weight at the same time.
