\nI was asked a couple of days ago if I could drive anything, what would it be. My immediate answer was…
\n
\n…a 240Z suits me. I have Several new cars-and while they are nice, or suitable for specific tasks, none of them brings a smile to my face on the thought of taking a drive other than the Z.<\/p>\n
I went and test drove several new sports cars-including the 350 with a freind who was looking, and he asked me which one I liked best, and I told him. Then he asked me which one I would buy, and my answer was none of them. He wasn’t quite sure how to respond, so I explained it this way:<\/p>\n
“You know that old bomber jacket you have(he has an old well worn leather jacket that he wears every chance he gets).” “Why don’t you get a new one, you can afford it, that one is worn to the point of almost being shabby, and the leather is dirty-it is starting to look bad”. He was obviously a little put out-I knew he would be. He said: “This is the most comfortable thing I can immagine, I love the feeling I get when I wear it-I thought you liked this jacket.”<\/p>\n
I said, “take that feeling and put it in a car-only make the car beautiful and everybody knows it.” He looked at me and said, “your 240Z!”<\/p>\n
I said, “yep, and I do like that jacket!”<\/p>\n
He had the jacket cleaned and treated the next day, it looked almost new several days later when he showed up wanting “to put gas in my Z.” He brought the Z back with 3\/4 a tank and a knowing smile!<\/p>\n
