Is that a feature or a bug?

The 240Z was sold in four unofficial series. Series 1 240Zs include the earliest cars built in late 1969 through mid-1971, identifiable by two ventilation grilles below the rear hatch and "240Z" badging on the C-pillar. These early cars are typically the most desirable to collectors, although the vents, removed from Series 2 cars, would allow exhaust fumes to enter the cabin when parked or at low speeds. Production of the 240Z ended in September 1973.
My serial number was 9xxx. I don't remember exactly. It was a bug that eventually became a feature. That's partly why I get a kick out of first-year design/production warts.

I’ve owned one car for 10 years now, time to be a little irrational.
This year I will try to get something "different". Rotary powered car (Rx8 or FC) or clasic muscle car (v8). Would be great waking up early and think what I will drive today

Put the car on the dyno and learned that I should build a return style fuel system.

i willingly drove it into rain storm after not touching it for over a month. marveled at how everything is just right with the car. the shifter notches into gear like i expect a shifter to notch. it's not clunky, but not soft, like the detents on a high end stereo. the clutch just simply grabs where i expect it to grab.

as i rounded a corner sideways in first and intentionally wobbled the back end side to side all through 2nd and into 3rd on the wet road, i marveled at the steering feel and the way i could tell what the car was doing and how it reacted to the inputs i was giving it, all the while in an effortless manner like the car wanted to be doing it all along, and i was just the orchestra director swinging a wand, acting like i had something to do with all the symmetry of all the instruments coming together in a perfect ballad.

yeah, i'm gonna keep this car around for a little while, even if it's just garage candy a lot of times.
