A million times more accomplished, there you go again making allegations without facts. What do you know about what anyone here has accomplished? What have you accomplished at 18? At most you're a legend in your own mind. You haven't the slightest clue about what our soldiers are like or how they view their jobs. I do, I know personally because I work with them and some are my friends. Why don't you read about the American War for Independence and find out about people that died, so you can say what you say. It wasn't easy then, and it's not easy now for the Iraqi people. Our Founders sacrificed a lot, and so will the Iraqis to achieve their dreams. They're scared and unsure of their path.....but they're showing a willingness to try. They lived under a brutal monster for 35 years, so they're a bit new at this new form of government. But you and your pin-headed professors arrogantly judge the actions of doers, and would deny a chance at freedom for an entire nation. Bryan Pilati

Whether you care or not doesn't concern me, but I'm letting you know that I have reported this post. I don't know about the other members, but I'm not going to tolerate this kind of attack. And save your 1st Amendment rights lecture because no one has to tolerate your attacks. I don't know much about you, but it's plain that your opinions are based solely on emotion and not a thoughtful consideration of the facts.

Wouldn't that break the frame?

I never saw a guy standing with a sign.

I hate to sound like a party-pooper, but isn't this place suppose to be for general chit-chat? Yall just can't stop the shop talk can ya? You guys are bad.

Has anyone digitized the original wiring schematic from a Z? It would help in working out where the modifications should be. Some one could take an existing wiring harness that's in a car and note if the length is too short and how much longer would be good, then after the harnes is removed measure the existing length and add the extra desired amount. These measurements could be annotated to the Autocad drawing. Just a thought.

I'd be interested in that.

It's probably the same thing.

My apologies. I was not saying it directly to you, although it is written that way. I was commenting on something else. I hope you'll forgive me. :tapemouth I think we probably all understand the insurance options now and what Hagerty etal are about. If you have a car in collector condition that you want to drive sometimes for various reasons, then Hagerty is not for you. If you have a garaged show car that you use for car club activities, then it probably is.

PRSgodzilla, my Z is the same colors as yours.

A car that isn't driven will develop problems. If you let a car sit for too long a period because you're scared that it may break a Hagerty rule....well it's not worth it to me. I have a stated value policy, it may cost as much as a late model, but I'm not tied in the same manner. And as far as taking extra care with this car, don't insinuate that those who don't use Hagerty etal might not do so. :eek:

Generally speaking with Hagerty, your Z needs to be a trailer queen. It is for show cars, not for daily drivers, racers or shopping. That's my understanding about Hagerty.

Really nice job on the Z. I hope mine looks that good when I'm done.

:disappoin

I didn't see any wall paper and icons.

Well right now I'm doing the body (i.e., rust repair, body/paint work). I have $2500 in the rust repair alone, and the rust wasn't bad for a Z. Just switched in a '72 4-sp tranny and new clutch, $500+. The remaining bodywork still has and long ways to go and will be close to $5000 + new weather seals. Anyone have an opinion on whether keeping the original Nissan glass is worth it, or does replacing the windshield with non-Nissan part not make much difference? I'm wondering about the originality issue. Anyway, it sure doesn't take long to ring up the dollars, does it?

I want Man Show pics of women jumping on trampolines! ...or videos. :stupid:

Here's my favorite bumper sticker of all time: "Vote Democrat, it's easier than getting a job." :stupid:

If you're going to change the name for all the Politically Correct types out there, then let's just dissolve the club althogether. The original purpose of this club was to give the 240 owners a place to discuss issues related to the 240Z, because the IZCC mailing list was getting over crowded. Let's not lose our roots in a misguided effort to please ALL. This club was never intended to please ALL, and should never be made to please ALL. Those who are not happy can certainly form their own club(s). It's a free Internet and that's the way it should remain. I am TOTALLY against any name change whatsoever. We need to cut off the parts of this club that have gone off on tangents to please other people in the Z world. That's the route that should be taken. We are a Datsun 240Z club, not a Nissan club or a general Z club or a ZX club or any other thing of the kind. I've been a member of the IZCC and this club for many years and have seen the evolution of things. Mike, don't let your emotions control the true mission of this club. Do whats right for the core members, the 240Z owners. And we're not a 350Z admiration club either, as attractive as it may be to get on THAT bandwagon. Don't do it!

Please check TZCC's website at http://www.tzcc.org. Find out about the club that organized the first Z Fest.

How do I know when my subscription expires?

How old is that Fanatic board you have hanging from the ceiling? I have a Fanatic Ultra Cat from 1989. Nice car, is that original paint color?

Hey Mike, I want lots of stars next to my name like you.
