1975 Datsun 610
I don't have a pic of my car, so imagine the pictured vehicle (minus the fender mirrors and as a left-hand drive) with a spray painted, metalic forest green paint job, and Iron Maiden/Judas Priest/Van Halen stickers all over the back. If I had flames on it, they could have used it in the Wayne's World movies. It was really that pathetic; but hey... Rome wasn't built in a day.
Q: You've got to be kidding? You didn't really drive this thing, did you?
A: Hell yes! Going from a messed up motorcycle (see my Honda MB5 page) to something with 4 wheels, heat, a stereo, and a winshield that kept bugs off my face, I was more than happy to drive it.
Q: What ever happened to it?
A: It blew a head gasket and water was getting sucked into one of the pistons. I ended up trading partially from my 280Z... I think the guy I traded with took off about $10 off the price of the 280Z.
Q: What lesson did you learn from having it?
A: 1. Never buy a car with a rattle can metalic green paint job.
2. Buy several gross of something good when you find it. This car had a great (read "cheap") stereo and amp/equalizer that I bought new from Radio Shaft... I think the total investment was under $50. It was most excellent for playing totally gnarly heavy metal tunes.
3. Econo boxes aimed at the family market... SUCK!
