But have loved my Hondas and Toyotas, and once had the rare Datsun 810 coupe. Fun car, but it was getting eaten by rust.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m here now because I just acquired a cream dream machine!!!&#8230; A 1991 300ZX 2&#215;2. I will never forget the first time I saw one of these out in the wild. I was driving north on the I-5 from San Diego to Pasadena, and this magnificent car passed me. I normally kept up with the goings-on in the industry, but somehow, I missed the relaunch of the Z at the time. I saw the car, a black one, and wondered &#8220;what the hell is THAT!!!!&#8221;. And now I have one!<\/p>\n<p>I owned a pool business. One of my long-time customers has had this car mothballed for the last 9 years or so. It had some sort of transmission problem, and they decided to get another car. I think they intended to fix this one, but never got around to it. It has been in the garage, covered, ever since. At least three or four times a year I&#8217;d ask &#8220;Hey Cindy, when are you gonna get me that car?&#8221;. Well she finally decided to let it go, and I got it for a song!<\/p>\n<p>Because they had originally bought the car out of state, the car has a &#8220;non-transferable&#8221; tag on the title. Also, they have no idea where the keys are, or where the pink slip is. They can&#8217;t find the keys, the battery is dead, the T-Top keys are also missing, I&#8217;m betting I&#8217;ll have a stuck injector or two&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>These are all solvable problems. Still, I won&#8217;t be doing any serious wrenching until the pink slip is in my name. But, the car is now sitting pretty in my driveway! Possession is 9\/10ths and all that! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ecstatic to have this car, and look forward to a good drive to the coast when I get it up and running.<\/p>\n<p>PS. Yes, that IS a Subaru BRAT back there&#8230; And, no, it doesn&#8217;t have the rear seats in the bed. (will be for sale soon)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/?attachment_id=8832\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8832\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8832\" src=\"http:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23519147_10210416033012638_3367875278405899700_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"638\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23519147_10210416033012638_3367875278405899700_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23519147_10210416033012638_3367875278405899700_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23519147_10210416033012638_3367875278405899700_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/?attachment_id=8833\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8833\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8833\" src=\"http:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23559696_10210416032892635_895518369921852778_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23559696_10210416032892635_895518369921852778_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23559696_10210416032892635_895518369921852778_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23559696_10210416032892635_895518369921852778_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"My%20New%20Car%21%21%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>As most of my friends know, I am a loyal Subaru guy.
