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!

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 **** 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.
