A Paratrooper’s 300zx wrote:hey jerry, i feel you completely on that one... my father just passed away from a stroke on 20 october 2007 and i just realized after reading your post that my dad never got to ride in my Z either. he had always loved sports cars ever since he bought his first 1967 Triumph TR4 in 1967. since then, he has had many little sports cars which included his most recent 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder. i have inherited that Spyder and will continue to enjoy it along with my Z. i would have loved to take him up and down the canyons of utah in my little Z, but every time i drive that Z from now on... he will be riding with me. the death of a loved one is such a pain in the A$$ huh? thanks man and ill continue to enjoy the passion we call the Z32.
Take care of that Toyota and enjoy it for years to come as you know he would! Thanks for sharing your story man, its good to know others relate and my post means more than just pictures.

VERY cool thread.

People sometimes don't comprehend the time and effort that goes into these cars, so it's great to have a lengthy breakdown of the progress...

Jerry, glad you're part of the team, Brother.

Very well done Jerry.

It's wonderful that your dad was so supportive to you - I hope to have the same relationship with my son. You know, after all you time and labor, you can never sell that car... it's a family heirloom!

Keep it up and best wishes,

George

Hope the best of luck to your z32, to you and your family.

Agreed. There's really not much of a comparison. The 240sx is a sporty car where as the 300zx is more of a sports car. Make sense?
