I don't agree.. far from it! Try to go sit behind the wheel when your 195 Cm!! ... or 6'6". You CAN'T !

That would apply to most ergonomics. Designers, engineers, architects and even shoe makers have to work within reasonable percentiles. Anybody outside the norms is just going to have to cope with what nature gave them.

...the 240z is MUCH better designed. (And i stick with this: those 240z front lights were a idea of a german! that a Japanese guy took over.. better stolen a nice one than design a bad one myself he must have thought.)

A little late for April 1st.

I'l cite Karl Benz, Johan Sebastian Bach, Johannes Gutenberg and Milli Vanilli as five Germans who - like Albrecht Goertz - are not responsible for a single curve or line on the S30-series Z.

"Stolen"? Meh. Language of fools.

Has anyone seen the Lexus tv commercial where a woman is parallel parking her SUV from her seat in a restaurant? Some sort of self parking system. Anyway, The car in front of her SUV is the contemporary Toyota supercar , can't remember the name. I can certainly remember the name of the car behind hers - 2000GT!

Sorry, I got the positions reversed.

For many years I lived in Laurel, MD. Laurel is on the original B&O line between DC and Baltimore. This is the line along which Morse laid the first telegraph line. Laurel had a 4-5 block shopping district on the appropriately named "Main St". I came out of a Main St. business in about 1974 to see white 2000GT in front of one of the businesses. I guess it was an almost daily driver. Imagine.

Delay is due to paperwork-related logistics issues. A lot of my own work involves international shipments, so I have some sympathy when I hear of paperwork going missing in transit.

Coming up on two months. Quite a few days more than a few. Anybody know what's happening? It's all part of the story.
