Even though my computer auction probably isn't going to go as high as needed... which car should i get:
1977 280z:

or 1986 300ZX Turbo:

280z = easier to work on but harder to find parts. bad ass inline six. lightweight. no t-Tops...
300zxt = not bad to work on and easy to find parts. turbo is lotsa fun but hella expensive. heavy. T-Tops!
280z looks more... bad ass imo.

Get the 280z, that car just looks badass and plus its got an awesum inline 6. If it was a little newer 300zx I would go with the 300zx but that pic made the 300zx look even more like a very old 300zx. That 280z looks cool, surprised they had cars in the 70's that looked that good. Like to see the back end of it though. But cool cars. good luck

the new 300zx's are expensive. 6k for a good used one, 15k for a good twin turbo. the 280z's are bad ass though.

Yeah they are expensive. Thats why I dont have one. :mrgreen:
I do have a 2001 honda accord ex 5spd and been happy with that since i bought it. Just cant wait to pay it off cuz these payments are killing me. One other car that I would really really like is a 94-97 Chevy impala. Very sporty powerful car and endless potential for being a four door. Well simpsons is on. l8r

here is what i have, 1976 BMW 2002. not a superfast car, but it gets the looks. mine isn't this nice tho...however, it is the same color. you can get resto'd ones with turbo for around 6-10k depending on how original and how well restored they are.

Sticks usually are for those who want their arms exercised more. You really don't need to upset you drive an automatic. People get in car crashes when they get in a brain freeze on trying to switch gears with the stick.

I never had a brain freeze before on driving a stick shift. And if someone has to think to hard when shifting then they shouldnt be driving a stick and/or a car period. :mrgreen: And as for giving yourself an arm exercised, its more a left leg exercise, specially if you are driving through a parking lot like austin, tx. When i first bought my car a couple yrs ago I thought I would never get use to it but you be surprised how quickly and how u dont even think about it when your shifting. l8rz

A brain freeze!? WTF I know a lot more automatic ppl whom instead of concentrating on the road are a lot more occupied on picking they're nose changing radio station or checking they're hairstyle then driving
the brain freeze are for those young Punk’s that doesn’t have no experience whatsoever of the road going 90mph in a 30mph zone with the BOOM BOOM BOOM "usualy in a civic" they are the one's with a permanent brain freeze IMO
Oh yea to be on topic one of my friends has a 280ZX 1981 and it's a beauty that’s the one I would choose
