There was supposed to be a picture here of the backsides
of the Black Beastie and Z3PO, but I couldn't find a way to insert photos from my computer. I gave myself a black convertible for
Christmas but it didn’t come with a big red bow, rather a car payment. At any rate, the Black Beastie is a
turbo-charged in-line six cylinder and is fast as a scalded cat.
I am now car poor. Regrettably, Z3PO
is for sale. He is a 2002 (the last year
for this model), Z3, with 53,600 miles, Sterling Gray, faithfully and lovingly
maintained, comes with a tonneau cover, which is the convertible top cover, a
genuine Roadster license surround and an OEM car cover. I can be contacted through my web site http://www.lindanightingale.com
. The Z3 is a snazzy, dependable and
fun drive with a 5-speed manual transmission to add more zip.
This picture was taken in the
beautiful mountains of North Carolina on my Utopian trip to pick up Z3PO.
I have two wonderful sons, both
grown, and I no longer own horses, so my cars are my babies. I have blogged on some of my adventures with
Z3. This is the last post about the
zippy little roadster. It makes me sad
to sell him.
Linda, I am in awe of you and your lovely automobiles. Like James Bond. I have a mommy SUV something or other. I don't even know or care. Ah, right, it's a Grand Caravan. Not very grand:) But this, I'd sit up and pay attention or as the hilarious Author Vonnie Davis put it--pop my bra straps--if hubby drove one of these babies home.
I sympathize, Linda. I used to have a Saab, and that car was a delight to drive. I really didn't want to say goodbye to it, but... sigh.
Linda, I think it's so cool when girls are excited about their cars. I jealous I don't have your passion for them. When I buy a car, my only requirement is that it won't break down while I'm driving. My dream car is a Jag. Not the newer models, but the sleek older models. Ah, maybe one day. I love your post!!
VROOOOOMMMM! I always wanted a "Z" myself. But, I don't wanna have to shift anymore!!!
Linda,
It's a beautiful car, but your new convertible sounds gorgeous too. I had an 98 Mercedes SLK, one of the firsts, with only 40,000 miles and gave it to my daughter last year. I bought a Infinite convertible, my treat to myself for my Amazon sales!
Enjoy - and ride in good health!
I wish I could have managed to post a pix of the new car. It is pretty being all black. Beth, I'm out of the mommy brigade, not even the grandchildren brigade! Love the pop my bra straps!
Barbara, Saabs are nice. Yes, I'll be sad to see Zippy go, but I need to sell him and move on.
Pam, I've always been a car nut. Cars to me aren't just to get from point A to point B. It's the journey! But I still want them dependable.

Mary, they make Z's in automatic. I flew to PA to get this car because it was a manual shift! How the years have changed me.
I love the SLK. Nice present to your daughter. Nice present to you, too, an Infiniti. While we are talking about Amazon, congrats on your successes!
Linda, glad you enjoy your cars. I prefer a simple old-fashioned, and easy to maneuver car that won't give me troubles.
I have a friend who got one of the first ones ever made. She paid $2600.- for it and it was an automatic. To buy an automatic Z would be a crime!
So, I'll stick to the SUV
Linda, I have been on the run! That is my only excuse for being late commenting. I have been reading short stories for an anthology, too.
You and need a road trip!
I didn't ride in your last car, did I? I'm sure I didn't!
I would LOVE to have my '64 1/2 Mustang made new. I'd take a new Mustang, though.
Linda,
I am certain you will find a wonderful home for your "baby". Very cool car.
