You picked some great weather to run in! High pressures and relatively cool air make for some nice times. Good luck.

Very similar to the formation of cumulus clouds that form thunderstorms, only much lower. Get out of its way!

I dont want to mount a radio or speakers the car. I would like a ready-to-play, amplified, full range, speaker box that I can plug into either 110v inverter or 12volts directly. I want to strap it in the hatch when I want the tunes. I want it to be able to play MP3's from a generic MP3 Player with cable or Bluetooth. 40-100watts for the amplified speaker system is enough for me and I want a 2.1 speaker box. 2 full range speakers and a small built in sub is ideal. Any ideas or suggestions? I don't want or have the room to mount a head unit in the center console. A remote controller would be a big plus. Boom boxes are OK if they aren't gaudy and huge. I want a nice clean look and a single, compact package that can sit comfortably strapped in the hatch area. I like the Parrot BoomBox but I can't seem to find anyone reputable that still has them. Thanks!

What's underneath all that carbon fiber? Sleeper, no more!

Every day I like the 280ZX more and more! I just jumped about 365 days ahead!

No engine required. Inject fuel and ignite!

I made my own rig.

"Manageable" has been pushed so much further up the list than "talented", that the latter is often overlooked. I don't think I can ever work for a typical big corporation again, at either end of the spectrum. I have become just too bitter. I'll never forget when my new "boss" hired a consulting company to come up with some innovative product ideas to drive some products into the pipeline. After the initial studies and concepts were ready to be revealed, he organized a big limelight meeting to shine onto himself while presenting all the concepts. Surprisingly, I was invited. As he passed the concepts around the room, I noticed that at least half of the 40 or so that were being shown were almost straight out of my dated lab notebook, with credit to him and the consultants. He was well aware of my notebook. At the end of the meeting, when we had to comment on each of the concepts, I couldn't just sit back and hold it in. I stated my case and opened up my notebook showing the similarities in a non accusatory way. I basically said that I had already shown a lot of these concepts a couple of years ago but that revisiting them now would be a good idea. His comment was, laughingly, "I need to burn that notebook." This is in front of his senior management! A few months later, I am laid off and he is still there kissing arse. Nice. from my 12 years with that company, I can give you many, many situations that exemplify this. To the original point, he gets away with it, because his managers let him, because their managers let them,...and so on. In the end, they keep their fat checks rolling in, and see no evil, hear no evil.

Have him send the agent and give him photo of the car to take back unless he pays. Tell him you were only selling a photo of the car, not the car. lol.

The typical scam is where they send you a bad check for too much money, and ask for change.

Ask for cash....send him pics that are honest and legit and show all defects so he can't say you lied about the condition of the car. Again, if he pays up first in cash you are good.

If it's not a scam, just take the money and bank it. Then hopefully, someone will show up for the car. Charge him for the Paypal fees too. Once you have the money (CASH) in hand...who cares. Maybe I missed something but what can go wrong if you have cash in hand? If you don't have cash in hand...(not a cheque)...no deal.

I should be there around 5 or 6 tonight. Save me a seat! Got any White Castles in the area?

Damn, sounds like Joe needs some help over there. Joe, should I bring my own chair? BTW: Clive, don't forget that the wires I soldered in the rear quarter could be crossed. If your tail lights don't work right, you need to swap two of the wires (black w/ red stripe) I think.

BIGPHL is not available....darn.

See if you can throw $500-$600 at him for the whole car. It will be worth it in the end. Trust me. Hydraulic head or not ....76 tank would be handy too if it's not clogged with internal rust.

My Z came with those wheels when I bought it in 1989. I never could get rid of the shimmy until I got new wheels, not matter how many times I balanced them. Not to say they are bad wheels....they just bring me bad memories.

Should be out of paint jail in a few days. Updated photos.

I just bought an AWESOME tripple chromed, perfect, rear bumper for $400...non-euro. The chrome on it looks amazing.

What about Z's with Camaro engines?

Publicity Stunt. +1

Hagerty did everything they could to NOT total the car. They pushed the body shop to lower his cost until the car was within range. They looked at all the photos on my site and the photos taken by the body shop and made sound judgement calls. They were on my side the whole way. Never ever, giving me a hard time. It was my fault for only having $8K on it, but they worked with me to settle it all out. Needless to say, I am going to stick with Hagerty and raise my coverage level significantly.

I would think they are bright enough for turn signal lights only if you separate them from the headlights. When the headlights are in your face, you don't see the LED's very much. If they were in the grill or on the spoiler, they should make nice turn signals or driving lights. Buzz, is going to try to set four amber strips up in the front grill to use as driving lights and blinker combos. He is eliminating the stock 280Z grill lights and installing a 240Z grill. The nice part is that when the strips are turned off, they virtually disappear because they are black.

Nice positive rear camber!
