I was a chauffer for a guy that owned 8 five-star hotels around the country. I drove a brand spanking new Special Edition Caddy (POS right off the factor floor). My boss owned a Z31 turbo.
Being a groundpounder guy, I thought the 31 was a very luxurious car, especially when Bitchin Betty would talk to me. Well, my boss went and bought a TT as soon as it came out. I thought that it was odd looking.One day, the boss comes running. He had an emergency and needed to get to the airport ASAP. He throws me the keys to the Z and hops in. It was the first car that Ive ever driven that was happy at 140mph. I dropped him off at the airport and got to keep the car for the weekend. I retired back in 2000 and sold my groundpounder, and three 4x4 trucks. I bought a 240sx for $2000 for the very basic of transportation. The 240 was stripped and lowered. The handling was incredible. Took it on a 300 mile roadtrip and hated it. The seats were horrible, and there was no cruise control and the car topped out at 119. Saw a Z for sale at a car lot and test drove it. Not being a turbo, I didnt think it would be able to do much, but she still would run 140 happy. It was everything I liked about the 240sx and worlds more.
Let he who turns his own wrenches cast the first stone.
