I love my Z. But I suppose if you succeed you could go splurge and get yourself a new Skyline.

I'm thinking if I were going to spend $70k on a car, I might as well go all the way around the bend and get a Tesla at $109k. Though the Skyline is a beauty, and much faster than the Tesla. And, I drive so little that it probably isn't going to make a big difference one way or the other to the environment (factoring in environmental impact of battery production, etc., I guess...I dunno).

I think California is getting to me, because I'm also thinking the Altima hybrid looks pretty swish.

my z just lost its poor engine ;-( The dealer says the oil looked like mercury. driving it out to the valley must have put too much stress on it or something. the current estimated repair bill is $12k. i sure hope i can get the extended warrenty to kick in.
