It always looked amazing from the outside, but even better in the inside.
I've finally bought a Z and found the one I've been looking for. My criteria was something that fit my budget but worked flawlessly and looked as good as possible. Through my search, I met so many people that have gone out of their way to help me out, give me advice and offered to look at cars for me. I couldn't have done this without you guys, and I really appreciate it.
However, there is one guy that stood out tremendously. +1 to Chicago Z'ers, Daryl Ludvik(awesom-o) He was basically instrumental in helping me make a decision and I just wanted to give you a shout out! Now on to the damn pics cos I know you guys get ancy without pictures.Trip: Saint Charles/New Lenox, IL - Staten Island, NY. 860 mi. of sh** weather. 17 hour trip(explained at the bottom) Weapons of war, $10
 
Locking yourself out the first time - $75
 New headunit for a long trip home, $184
 
Gassing up 1
 2
 3
 4 times. ~$130
 
Meeting some great people,
Driving the best 900 miles ever and more to come,
Fulfilling a dream,
-Priceless **Rants and comments**
I know I know, I broke some Z commandments. I drove her in the rain and even worst the snow. But she'll forgive me in
the future when I take great care of her. I LOVED the whole ride home, but I HATE PENNSYLVANIA. I wish I had known a way around the mountains because it drizzled the whole ride home but it didn't bother me much. As soon as I got in the higher altitudes in Pennsylvania, SNOW and ICE. It was the worst ride ever, 20mph through just barely wet super thin layer of snow. Doing slaloms without the assistance of hicas or steering. I was a nervous wreck. 89 camry's and honda's doing ricer flyby's going 60 and trailers zooming by. I had to stop several times when the weather became even worst. To sum it all up, I HATE PENNSYLVANIA.
I got a decent 21-23 mpg, always filled up never less than a quarter, usually just after half tank. Great ride home, she purrd all the way home, I didn't get her to growl because the road conditions were so poor, and she whimpered all the way through pennsylvania. The "scenic" pics are at some place right after the Del Water Gap in the NJ side.
