RE: Your First Car...
Bought my firstcar, an orange Nissan /Datsun 280Z in an ancient military town down in camp Lejeune. Raciest car I've ever driven (125mph).
When it was time to drive him home it took3cases of Castro, 10w30, to get him from NC to MN.
1 winter in MN did him good, no dang heater in a NC car! Frozed my **** off.
Come spring some of therubber gas nozzlestook turn spraying the windshield.
Summer came and I can fill up theentireneighborhood block with plumes of beautiful white smoke of coolants out the rear.
So much for 1 year's worth of driving a car I bought for $1600 from NC.
Best and fastest clutched car I've ever driven....clutch was worn to shiiit so it waslike less than1/4 (if one can measure seconds) of a second between shifts per gear.
40mphon 1st gear...jump from1st to 3rdto 70mph.
