Back in my jaded youth, I had and early Corvette, a ‘56 Austin Healey LeMans and a ‘60 Lotus Super 7. The Super 7 was the only handler of the bunch. ;)

Before that I had a chopped and channeled ‘34 Ford 3 window coupe with a 3/8’sX3/8’s, stroked, balanced 59A block full load flat head. That was in ‘49.

200 miles is a lot of commuting. When I was working, the longest commute I had was from Berkeley to San Leandro when the company moved the truck (I drove truck 31 years) terminal from Emeryville.

The Datsun 240 Z was one of my favorite sporty type cars, I think they looked better than the Z’s that followed.

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...!
