In February 1998, I had the wonderful opportunity to purchase a Nissan 300ZX. I had been drooling over this car for about seven years, so I was quite thrilled at the prospect of finally being able to own one. The car I bought was a red 1994 normally aspirated 2-seater with t-tops and a leather interior. Even though my personal preference is for manual transmissions, I bought an automatic, so that my wife could drive it, too. Basically, my decision came down to getting an automatic Z or getting an automatic of some other vehicle, and I felt that I would be much happier with an automatic Z than with no Z.

Well, eventually, we got my wife a car of her own, so I no longer needed an automatic transmission in my car. Because of the complicated electronics in a modern engine, I decided that it would be better to sell the car I had and buy one with a manual transmission, rather than converting it. When I decided to sell, I knew what I wanted to replace it with. I wanted another 300ZX, with a manual transmission, and I also wanted the extra power of a Twin Turbo. After almost a year on the market, the NA finally sold, and it was time to get my new Z. From the time the buyer picked up the NA, it took me a whole 18 hours or so (yes, hours, not days or weeks) to get my hands on a Twin Turbo.

The car I bought is a Cherry Red Pearl 1991 Twin Turbo with a 5-speed transmission. Sadly, my beautiful car got hit by a motorhome and totalled. That meant it was time for Z number 3.

Z number 3 took a little longer to get, but only because I had to wait for the check from the insurance company to clear. On the evening of the day the check cleared, I purchased a gorgeous white 1993 Twin Turbo. Sadly, Z number 3 was destroyed when I got rear-ended one day. Thus ends my first Z era, since I replaced it with a car with 4 seats (a Subaru SVX).
