Follow me through the world of my Z Build. We already start 5 years after the build begins....but still a lot to do and a lot to follow. We are working with my baby, EnvyMyZ (AKA: Lauren) which is a 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2. She is a 5 spd NA in OEM Super White with custom Charcoal/Black interior. Of course she is more modified than stock. Now I know you're going to say its pointless to mod an NA, but I enjoy it!

Life is a Journey....Enjoy the ride!
The Ride:
So, its around 2pm and I finally get to take the Z on the road for a real feel for her.....which lasted about the length on an on-ramp! Yay for LA traffic! What should take me about 3-4 hours takes me 5-6 hours to get back home to Las Vegas.
So now I get the joy of learning the clutch on the 5 speed in lovely stop and go traffic. Even though the AC worked, it didnt matter. T-Tops were off and windows were down to enjoy and show-off my new baby!
Somehow while in traffic I was playing with buttons and switches and anything I could play with in the car. This prompted the windshield wipers to go on. No big deal, if there were rubber on the wiper blades. Instead of a wiper blade, I had a wiper cutting tool. A nice, lovely, sharp wiper cutting tool that decided to etch two perfectly arced cuts into my otherwise perfect windshield! It was the original windshield I might add!
So yes, when red flags and sirens should have been going off in my head telling me this car is going to be a bad luck money pit....I ignored all the warnings. A new windshield was needed less than an hour after ownership! W00t!!!
The rest of the drive home was lead-footed as you can imagine. The etched window did have a lovely time screwing with my field of view, but it was a great drive none-the-less. Driving 70+, topless in Cali weather...need I say more?
