Bye bye old friend
My old friend, the 240Z, is gone... I'm sad to see her go, but at the same time, I'm glad to be rid of her. She's been sitting up on jack stands for the past 3 years; I just haven't had the time to spend on her. The family that bought her has the time and the resources (and the connections) to get her all fixed up and running; I'm sure that she'll be back on the road in a few months now, rather than in a few years if I had kept her. A couple of pictures of her leaving my driveway below. Kind of interesting how I came about finding a buyer, especially since I wasn't really looking to sell her...

| Z on Truck | Bye Bye Z! |
One of young Sean's school mates, Brandon, was having a party at a pizza place to celebrate his good grades. Sherri took Sean to the party and there met the mom of another of Sean's school mates, Jonathan. Somehow, the two ladies' discussion turned to cars (I'm still a bit fuzzy on how that happened!!) and Sherri mentioned the Z project car I had. Apparently Stephani (the other mom)'s husband Scott was looking for exactly that kind of a project car! Sherri and Stephani helped put Scott & I in touch, and though I really did not want to sell the Z quite yet, I decided it would be best to go ahead and sell it after all. Besides, Scott and family live really close by, so if I ever want to visit the Z, I can. Also, Scott has some great connections in the automotive business, something I can take advantage of once I start on getting the Porsche restored... Nothing like having the connections to get the work done right!
