I'm writing sort of a journal for myself, and I figure most of you aren't interested in reading three pages of mooshy gooshy goodness of how it happened, etc, so I'm going to spare you all that and jump to what is interesting. The car: It's a 1990 with a black leather interior and black diamond pearl paint. Unfortunately, it's naturally aspirated as well as automatic, but a deal is a deal, and I'm in love with her nonetheless (I was very appreciative of the automatic after getting stuck in traffic on the way home). Not much else to say, except that when I bought her she had 10,649 miles on her. And yes, that's original miles. She currently has 10,944, as I had to drive her home. There are a lot of miscellaneous details I could give about the car, but I'll just do that when I write in my "Z Journal" that I'm keeping. I do have some questions for all the tt.net members. The car has mostly been sitting for the past 10 years of it's life. The air pressure was increased in the tires (yes, they are the original tires that came with the car) for the duration of it sitting, and it was driven really only once every two-three months, and (obviously, I'll get to this in a minute) not much at that. The oil was last changed at a little over 5,000 miles, making it overdue. The timing belt was our main issue driving home, for fear of it snapping, but I felt the visible belts, and they didn't feel dry/cracked at all, and luckily we made it all the way home with no incidents. So, the car still smells new. However, it clearly is not. The muffler's are destroyed because of water just laying in there, eating away at it, so I will have to get those replaced (although I'm a love of quad tip ovals...why not just switch it over...or should I leave it stock). I am going to be getting the timing belt replaced, simply because it can't be good to have an 18-year-old belt on an engine it could destroy anytime =/. I am just curious as to what else needs to be replaced, what needs to be looked into, I've read so many FAQs here, but I never fathomed I'd be in this position, with this many miles. TT.net has always been a helping hand, and I hope I can continue to leech (uh, I mean learn) off all the available knowledge :) Oh, and she cost 6250. Here are the pictures. And yes, I am a VERY amateur cameraman. I would love to be able to take some nice pictures, but this is all I could muster for the time :) I have a lot to learn. 
And just because...she's happy.
