Message :Where you found it (ebay etc.)?
Autotrader

:How long you were looking?
About 1-2 months

:How far away was it?
400+ miles (NE to OK)

:The test drive..
The test drive went well, the clutch was slipping - but the car was still faster than anything I had ever driven. Barely knew how to drive a stick, so good thing I could just nearly dump the clutch and have it slip and then go. Couldn't figure out the AC pod - kept hitting the fan button which kept the air on ECON. Previous owner parked the car on the grass, couldn't figure out why until after I had bought it and parked it to get gas. It leaked a little oil - bastard!

:Your First drive =)
After I got the clutch changed and learned how to DRIVE a stick I took it out on a twisty road just outside of town. I was impressed with the almost go-kart handling the car had stock (it is much more fun now after a few suspension mods) - in addition to its exceptional speed for an NA. Still haven't driven a TT but am going to complete the swap sometime soon since I keep hearing how great it is.

:And any other details you would like to share of when you bought your Z.
120K, 92 slicktop - kinda disappointed at the time but happy for it now, I had only seen one Z in person ever but knew that it was what I needed ever since seeing that "Barbie and Ken" commercial in the early 90s.
