Yeah, but they're old.
Don't get me wrong. I like 240Z's, and I remember firsthand when every
hairdresser and "executive assistant" had one. I'm amazed Dave Talbot
hasn't chimed in here with some kind of a roar since he raced the
things back when he had hair. I've got an old Maserati Mistral, and
everyone thinks it's a 240Z. They are so very wrong. You can actually
go somewhere and return if you have a 240Z. You can't do that with a
Mistral.
