I live in Clearlake and have to commute down to Santa Rosa then down to Marin most days. Somedays I have to go out to Mendocino or Fort Bragg which could be 300 miles round trip. So driving has to be somewhat of a fun experience just to get through the day.

240z is one of the prettiest cars, period. I do have a video of my 14 year old driving a '59 Austin Healey Sprite. Not as cool as the LeMans, but definitely cool to watch him zip past me at 50 mph...!

Roger that; if you spend that much time driving, you might as well drive something that handles, stops, accelerates and is fun to drive!!

We had a mechanic at California Motor Express that lived in Clearlake and commuted to Oakland, Emeryville and San Leandro over a 20+ year period. He went home on the weekends.

I can’t remember his name, he drove a black 60 something Chevy 1/2 ton with flames on the front fenders and hood. He was a big CB fan, he had a big linear amplifier, I think he could reach out to Anchorage, Alaska. ;)

WE had a truck driver who had property and spent as much time as possible there, he said he was going to retire there. His name is Royal T. Boggess, both of them should in their 70’s.
