I'm also a Nissan nutOriginally Posted by tnt525i
My first car was an `84 Z31 300ZX ... fell in love with it, even though it's under powered, it handles nicely. Still have it, even though it needs a great deal of body work ... DAMN DEER! Practically bullet-proof engine 215k miles!
Had an accord, from my girlfriend ... going from the Z to that was painful, no power 4cyl, horrible turning radius ... blah, but it was good for transportation.
2000 A4 ... piece of CRAP, water pump went before 50k, replaced air bag controller at $800, it's got electrical gremlins and a total pain to work on because there is no room and other disassembly impossibilities. It's an over priced VW, though I haven't had one, friends have and I firmly believe that VW's are also garbage! I'm working on her to get rid of it.
My parents have had a variety from a Road Runner (my first drive when my mother left me unattended), Cordoba (big car with a big ass engine), Toyota Camery (blah good for transportation), to an `73 MG midget ... made up a lot of new words working on that ... fun little car, when running.
I love my e34 because it gives me the semi sport feel I've been missing (but more practical than the Z), the look and wrenchability.
