If that is your car, then bad ass. If not, still bad ass. I had a 1980 Datsun 210 wagon back in 1985 as my second car. Loved the shit out of it. Later, QD.

I was actually down there yesterday, which was rare, I don't get out of downtown very often.

Oxidated metallic blue 240Z, I try to get the thing out once or twice a week and escape for awhile.

The Mitty is coming up http://www.roadatlanta.com/events.lasso there was a guy running a 200SX like yours in IT last year.

That's a nice looking truck, I'd like to see under the hood.

The Mitty is a three day event. Folks from Garage Zero and the Georgia Z club will have a place in the infield you can join them at. The years to go for Japanese were the last two years, Datsun and Mazda were the featured marques but there is still a nice turnout from the Datsun and Mazda camps. RA is an awesome venue too, a really nice track and nice facilities.

If you're looking to go deeper into debt, there's a 1600 or 2000 roadster sitting at a body shop/salvage yard next to 247 halfway to Macon. The body and interior are likely shot but I think the drivetrain could be salvaged, who knows. I'm not a roadster guy or I would have shaken the tree a little harder but those things are getting rarer and rarer to find.

dont let that hood fool you:D,that 620 is no hot rod. the huge bulge is solely for the purpose of clearing the stock(except for dual sidedrafts and shiney stuff)L20B

This is fat matt right? I've seen one of your trucks at a few shows, you do pin-striping right? My girlfriend worked with yours at Walsh, and i've been friends with Hunter over there for years. Had no clue you had Dattos. I just sold my yellow '73 620 yesterday.
