    300km total miles or kmph? I've had it up to 150mph, but, I don't know what that conversion is. 150mph is all I have the balls for at this point. I'll work my way up 10mph at a time. It's a little difficult to keep your head tucked at that speed.

    Yep, I'm not fighting it. I'm just preparing. It looks like my roadster has a couple of good hits and my bike is also taking hits from the ad I placed in the local cycle trader. Ya baby...... I hope to be rid of these soon. I'll keep you posted.

    Okay, here's the final story on my Z32 experience. I was walking around the show and in total awe at all the sweet rides. After I sat down near the CCZCC area I noticed a good looking stock 300ZX TT sitting in the parking lot behind us. So, I went over to take a look. It was for sale. So, I called the owner and asked him to come back so I could take a look at the car. The car itself was in pretty good shape (except for a broken part of the front valance). I asked one of the CCZCC members (can't remember his name right now) to come take a look at the car with me. Since he owned a red 300zx tt, I figured he would be a perfect person to help me out. After I started the car, he said that blue smoke came billowing out of the right rear tailpipe. It remained blue for a good period of time before it cleared out. This led us to believe that the turbo seals were going out and would need some work soon. Too bad, because the car only had 51k miles. Anyway, he recommended that I continue to browse through all the cars in the show. He saw a good looking white '91 sitting somewhere on the West side of the street. So, I did... I continued to walk and take pictures when I came across a very clean white '91 with a Stillen airdam. Man, I loved that car. It looks very clean and I managed to talk with the owner of the car for a few hours. To make a long story short, I found out that this lady has owned the car since new and babied it through the whole life... every time a part needed to be replaced, they would use NEW parts because they claimed that remanufactured parts are just not good enough. I also discovered that they have a few show cars and take very good care of their entire collection. She was getting rid of this car because she wants to buy a new car to haul around her grandkids. The car has a new Stillen airdam and body kit. Since the paint didn't match quite right, they had the whole car repainted. The car has been garaged and never wrecked. I also have some interior shots and everything in this car is absolutely beautiful. I've always wanted t a 300zx tt to drive around as my main mode of transportation. And, I thought this would be perfect. I couldn't buy the car that weekend becuase I didn't have my financing in order. Plus, the wife wants me to sell a few other toys before I go get another one. So, I put it on hold. I really want the car and I'm going to buy it just as soon as I get rid of these other items. Luckily for me, I have a few bites on the Roadster and the bike should be gone within a few weeks. Here's a picture of the car:

    Well, not all of them are insured. I only insure the cars that I use regularly.
