This journey started back in 1986. My dad, who fixed up wrecked cars on the side, bought a damaged red 1982 Datsun 280ZX and fixed it up. I got to drive it around quite a bit and loved the manual transmission and how spunky the engine was. But I really just loved how cool this little red sports car looked on me. Alas, as happened with numerous other cool cars my dad fixed up, he sold it to some lucky person and I never saw it again.
