Which museum? As a RI resident I haven’t been to any car museums in the state (though I know of a couple) and would be down to check out something new.

I’m considering (for the sake of this article) the 300ZX to be it’s own model separate from the 240/260/280Z, 280ZX, 350Z, etc. I know they’re all in the line of the Z car, but it’s semantically different than say the Corvette, which carried the same name through all it’s generations.

300ZX

Reminds me of this video I saw back in college (10 ish years ago) which led to me also rescuing a “nobody’s” bike that had been abandoned near the main bus stop, rear wheel taco’d after being clipped by a snow plow. Granted, mine was some cheap-o, no-name, steel framed road bike, not nearly as cool as this one.

Glad to see the process there makes pretty good sense.

Sophomore in 2012 at UMass, I had my 1987 300ZX up at school. Night of some decent snow, me and the handful of car-guy friends I had met up at an empty parking lot to do some obligitory donuts/general messing around. No one hit anything, good times had by all. After a while we all left, all around the same time, and I…

I wouldn’t say I’m loyal, but my longest stretch of one brand is currently two cars: first a 2000 Mazda Miata, and then a 2018 Mazda 3 (both manual, thank you very much). Other than a couple reasonable-for-a-20-year-old-car-to-need-replaced items on the Miata, both cars have treated me really well, and the 3 is a…

They very much did. I came across a “how-to” for that generation, and wasn’t even going to bother doing it until I realized I wasn’t looking at the correct year.

Wow, this is fortuitous timing, I had just looked up a video on how to change the cabin air filter on my 2018 Mazda 3. I bought it new, but it has almost 28k miles on it, so while it SHOULDN’T look nearly as bad as this, I figured probably not a bad idea to swap it out. Luckily, it looks about as easy as this one:…

Indeed!

I should’ve stated, it does actually have the V6 (4.0 OHV), though it’s sadly an automatic. Agreed, though, the frame is a bit scaly, so the plan is to remove the bed and wire brush and rust proof the frame as best I can, hopefully give it another couple decades if its lucky.

Dang, and I thought I overpaid a bit at $2800 for my ‘93 STX with 136k, AND I’m in New England. I voted No Dice, but I guess the market for these is hotter than I realized. Glad to see I’ll be able to at least get my money back some day, since even though I’m gonna use it as it was intended, it will never see snow,…

Suffice to say it all seems to work, as the seller claims 804 horsepower at the wheels along with 785 lb-ft of wheel torque.

Oof, this hit me right in the heart, I just sold my Z31 on Tuesday after having it for 7-8 years. Did a whole bunch of little stuff like that, plus coilovers. But it had been sitting outside for the last few years and not getting driven, so I sold it on to a young kid who’s excited to have a project car. Bittersweet,…

Ok, so as someone who doesn’t have any White Castles around here (New England), do you think other fast food burgers would give a similar result? What would be your recommendation? This is so wrong yet so up my alley, I have to try it.

Wow, posted for sale in the town I grew up in, never thought I’d see that on Jalopnik!
That amount of rust is pretty typical for this area, or even on the “better” side considering it’s age. I’m sure the typical car here isn’t Michigan-bad, but rust free our cars are not.

I’m curious where they’re getting the material from. The company I work for designs and manufactures customer web handling manufacturing equipment, and we’ve (unsurprisingly) been HAMMERED with requests for face mask machines, which we’ve made before. The problem is that no one can get material, as supposedly all of…

There are actually filling stations in the Northeast. I can’t speak to NJ, but I know for a fact there is one in Providence RI, been open for close to 2 years now. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the other ones they spoke about opening in the area are also up and running.

I have a Z31, I love my Z31, and always have. He’s done the right maintenance and mods to it to maximize resale. And it’s arguably the most desirable of all combos of Z31s you could get (SWB, 5 speed, turbo, kouki).
