It's official! I'm the proud owner of a 1989 Nissan 240sx coupe. 106,000 miles, power sunroof, windows, mirrors and it has a/c!!!!!!!! The best part of this whole transaction was that I bought it off a nice couple - not a dealer. I love it when you meet someone and right away you know they're good people. Steve and Lis (pronounced - Liz), thank you very much for a great transaction! Everything just clicked.

Now, here's the thing that I'm a little worried about, it's a 5-speed and I can't drive a 5-speed. So why did I get it? It's always been a fantasy to be able to shift those gears. I'd watch Steve McQueen shift in Bullitt and say to myself - damn that's cool. Then the reality set in that I drive a Skylark and then I'd go eat a bag of chips.

Walter is going to show me the ropes tonight, I'm eager to learn! If you know of anyone that needs a Skylark for cheap, in the NY/NJ area, drop me a line. Wow, I'm excited! I had my '89 Skylark since day one. A lot of good times with that ride, college, work, vacations, kicking it on the turnpike. I'm going to miss her. Screw it, I'm going to ask Walter if he'll drive it off a cliff for me, ha ha. It got me here from Ohio; it's not that bad. I went to bed last night reading the owner's manual. OK, that's it, I'm too excited to write about anything else today. Be real, have a great day! One more thing, the first song I'm going to play in my new ride is Bob Seger'sAgainst the Wind.
