And honestly, being "upside down" in the car is just more incentive to keep it... :smt003

Heard that. Make it what you want it. It only becomes an investment the day you sell it or give it away

Also just realized that while I've been lurking on this forum for 10+ years, I think I didn't actually sign up until the day I bought this car... :smt003

Notice the sticker on the windshield? Photo is from 2004.

That is because you are the only person!
And we all know your disdain for the dime very well :P

Back in the early 80s when all we could afford was $75.00 VWs, The experience behind the wheel of my pals 71 510 with an L20 5sp and 44 miks was A FRIGGIN BLAST. Did an all nighter out to Neah bay and back. Sadly a few years later, that car met a tragic end, (light pole).
For the $$, it was an amazing car back then.
i should dig up those paper pics.

The weirdest thing, to me...

Most of the Roadster guys I know just like Roadsters. Most of the Z guys I know just like Zs. Most of the 510 guys I know like anything with a Datsun badge on it, including Roadsters and Zs. :smt003

I recall being made to feel like a bit of an outcast by the dime guys at Summit Point.
