Well, not me personally, but my sister had a 1970 240 Z. She got it from my uncle, who was the original owner. Apparently, there were not too many '70's imported - and it had some minor cosmetic differences from the '71...
I drove it a bit, and it was a great sports car. (I drool for the old Datsun 2000's, too).
Unfortunately for her, someone ran a red light and T-boned her - otherwise she'd probably still have it. Hell, when she got it, she drove cross country from Olympia, WA to Savannah, GA with NO problems!

The closest I can get is a 1978 280Z.

Are you driving a Pro because you have you been denied your inheritance?
Hahaha, nah once I inherit them I'll stop driving my pro :) But the rolls, jag, and mercedes are my grandparents, and the lexus used to be theirs and they gave it to my parents. But I live with my grandparents so it's all good :)

Lexus drives the best, and jag's my favorite right now cause it has nice mags and a paint job that goes well.

The main draw toward the P5 for me was CORNERING. I've always driven mid-engined Porsche 914's. A well tuned 914 will smoke even a 911! Easy to work on and corners like a slot car! It sure is nice to have 4 doors and a back seat, though! (not to mention room for amps and speakers/sub)

Rolls Royce? Jag? Your killin' me! I take back what I said about 914's. I own a Mclaren F1 as a daily driver, but when i'm slummin', I'll drive the Bugatti E.b. 110. If it rains, I usually take the Mercedes G-wagon, or the H2. But if I'm going "out on the town" I cruise the trusty ol' Type 57sc.

But even though I get to drive them I don't own them, they're not mine so I have to be careful. And I won't dare drive the rolls:) But yeah either way the Porsche is a much better drive than any of the ones they have. Too bad I was too young to drive when they had the porsche :(

I had the same thoughts as Jrizzle and TexPro5. I work at a lumber mill so any vehicle that goes there is going to turn into a piece of shit so you might as well get an old one to go to work with. The P5 is the reliable car for travelling and buzzing around town. I see these people with a corvette and a merc-benz and caddy envoy and its like what the f"@k. Oh well maybe some day I'll win the lottery, until then I'll just keep getting up at 6 to go to work for 7.
