1. Autotrader.com
2. 2nd one I called on, first and only one I went to look at
3. Just under 2 hours to get there. Maybe an hour to get back
4. Pops had to drive it out of the parking lot since I'd only driven a stick in my Z31t up and down the street (I was 16, no driver's license) and dump trucks at work (landscape designer at the time IBCollegeboycomments).
5. First drive was interesting. I was pissed that it only had a tape player, and I had no tapes. Had to stop at a truck stop to buy one. Turns out it was an edited tape, so that pissed me off even more. Pressed stop in protest, then realized the car sounded pretty good
6. I did yard work for a guy and he paid me by buying his neighbor's Z31t for me. Loved the car, drove it up and down the street every day (remember, not of legal driving age yet - had my brother's license with my pic on it, so I got to drive it where ever when my parents weren't home). One day at school, a girlfriend's brother came to pick us up for lunch in his Z32. I never saw one before and loved it, besides the color (pearl white). A few months later I had enough money to try getting a loan for a Z32. Somehow I got approved (at 17 for $12k), and there I was. Sold the Z31 after a month or two of owning both (had to drive it for a bit since it was my first car)
