What is the most enjoyable part of a drive in your Z on a perfect day?

The wind in your hair, the music of the engine, the addrenalin caused by your right foot, the looks from those outside the car?

What? If I left out your thought, please put it in-with what Z you have!

All of the above! Well, saving the fact that the car is now parked in the garage until I find out what happened in the bottom end . I love looking out over that long hood like it's the deck of an aircraft carrier, combined with that amazing rumble that grows into a growl as my right foot digs deeper. Any time I take her out, people always come up to me and say "I used to have a Z/510/etc.." and we get into Datsun conversations. I love how perfectly the windows are designed to let the right amount of air in without making you feel like you're in Chicago. Even the smell of the slightest bit of unburnt fuel with the intoxicating exhaust smell hits me in the right way.

Realizing you no longer have a sunroof!

You added that one for me, didn't you, Will? Thanks!!

Will, you need to ad this one for me.

It's been so long since we had a perfect day to drive my Z I can't remember.

It is low 50's and raining again here in Seattle. It seems like we had about two nice days since last September. I hope we are not standing around in the rain at Canby again this year.

Were in the 90s, a few lite puffy clouds, nice breeZe, and I have to roll the Z out on the rotisserie...you'll get no sympathy here!

My Z will be driven to Canby, showers or not. After all, with all new rubber (and no sunroof :classic: ) it shouldn't leak!

It's about 93 in the afternoons here, I only take the thing out after dark...so to speak.

It's going to be the mid 90s all week, so it's twilight drives for me (maybe early morning since I'm on overnight call Saturday night)...

I like how The Z is rough, light, loud and unkempt. I don't perceive getting any attention when I'm on the road, which is fine. I'm pretty much lost in the noise, the steering feel, the road feel and remembering exactly how I've been over every square inch of this car.....Then, I start listing what I still need to work on....So it provides a good way to ignore the pressures of work and family life.

I love how my Z sits quietly under other car parts, coated in a haze of body filler. My Z needs no motor, drivetrain or other hardware. My Z is just happy to have wheels. Sometimes, My Z gets rolled to the other side of the bodyshop for more work. My Z doesn't ask for much...she just waits patiently for the day she is painted.

Im so sad now...

We have had only 10 full sunny days in the past 5 months. Right Global warming my a&%

Driving my Z knowing that I built her just the way I wanted.

I am coming to Canby. Won't be the first or last time this Z has been wet. I am sure a couple of the group from the North will have an awning.

If mine leaks I still won't melt.

Getting to see all the hard work go down the road knowing I built it the way I wanted.
