i have no idea what i'm doing with it

I am dying to get this 280z off craigslist. He's asking only $5500 and since he is moving to Cali in 3 months he can't take it with him. Too bad I can't get that kind of money so soon but damn Z's are lovey

My dad owns a 240Z and a Nissan 240SX. He's probably gonna give the 240SX to me.

240SX for the heretics


His is like that except completely green and a slightly lighter shade. Currently is sitting in the driveway in the snow, under a car cover, because he barely drives it.

I like chrome
chrome can be nice
but not when it's the primary color for the car
I also only like black and white matte colors, and not any dark gray or off-white or any of that, black and white

AH YOU RUINED IT.  Lol edited.

Btw, about an hour ago I was sitting at an intersection on my way home and a Pontiac Grand Prix (probably between '92-'95 or something) blasted through the intersection with a red light going obviously beyond the speed limit.  On the median was a cop (a Byrnes Mill cop, notorious speed trappers who pull people over for going 3mph or so over the limits) and he didn't even care.  No movement in his car or anything and he was facing the oncoming direction too.

Some cops are handicapped in several different ways lol

I was delivering to a school the other morning and the school was like 5 minutes out of town. Im going down the highway like 68mph in a 55mph since we were really busy  and I look up in the rear view mirror and all I see is a State Trooper's Taurus hauling ass behind me with his lights on. I'm just like wow, go forgetin' figure and I pull over and he just speeds on by. Im just watching him like,  huh, that was lucky.

[Caution]

Also looking at a 2006 350Z with 66,000 miles for like 15,800. The interior could use some love and exterior could use some touch ups so I hope maybe they'll come down a little.

The only cars I've ever really looked into was last year. A '97 Oldsmobile Aurora for $200 (fixer upper with fuel pump replacement and transmission adjustments needed) or a '99 Mercury Cougar XR-7 (pure irony, guys) for $550 with no problems and less than 90k miles.

[Caution]

You should've gotten the Olds. :D

A cop will never pull you over for going 13 over the speed limit, at least not here they won't. I go 50 in a 30 on my way to work every day.

Best machine to get to work.

There are two police departments near me that get their paychecks out of the number of tickets they write. They also only take up about a mile or less of highway before conflicting with a neighboring town. Because of this, it isn't rare for the to pull over for 63 in a 60.
