: Well, I think I almost made a big mistake and I'm now trying to correct it. If you remember, I was trying to sell my nice '72 to buy something with better gas mileage etc. Well, I've been trying to sell it for 6 weeks. In the mean time I borrowed the cash from my parents and bought a VERY clean '82 Nissan 280 ZX Turbo. :) I really like it, but today I drove the Mav to fill the tank (Y2K prep) and I fell in love all over again. I turned heads and some guy even wanted to buy the car. :) Kinda ironic that just when I decided I want to keep it, people want to snatch it right out from under me! :) I think what changed my mind is that I've been chasing a vacuum leak on my new Z, then I opened the hood to my Maverick and saw the familiar THREE vacuum hoses and it reminded me what cars should be like. I've spent way to much time and money making my Maverick MINE and I don't want to give that up. So now I need to try to dig myself out of this rut and ditch the Z and hopefully pay my folks back. I want to thank all of you that tried to talk me out of it awhile ago. It didn't change my opinion any then, but after I had a couple weeks to see the light, it all sank in. Ahhh, it's good to be back. Wish me luck trying to convince my parents that what I'm doing is right! BTW, anyone wanna buy a 280 ZX? :)
