After buying my first new Z in 72, only waited a week for it. 73 bought a new Datsun pickup. Joined the Carpenters Union. Bought a new 76 Ford pickup, new 1979 Oldsmoble Starfire, was supposed to get in mid July, was delivered first week in Sept. due to strike. Car had paint runs, hood and hatch weren't aligned properly, rubberized taillight panel was stretched to one side, and the V6 engine knocked. Tire defects, had bubbles on the sidewalls. A lemon, after 4 trips to the Dealer they finally heard the engine knock. Everything was fixed, reground valves, repainted. Mileage dropped 6 mpg on highway, and burned qt. of oil every 2000 miles. 1-1/2 yrs. later paint alligated and pealed off. Starter kicked on while driving, yrs. later some small furry creature must have died in the dash area. What a smell, Kids renamed the car the ''Oldsmellmoldymobile''. I've gone back to Nissan, haven't been disappointed yet. Bought a new 91 Sentra SE-R. now a rust bucket, 257,000 miles, 10/69 Fairlady ZL RHD, 1972 Z, and an 09 Altima 6 sp. coupe.
