Datsun 240Z

    日产公司（Nissan）的第一款Datsun 240Z跑车一经推出便受到了如潮的好评，读到这些评论后，我那不靠谱的MG立时被打入冷宫，我一心只想买下这款日本跑车。没出几个星期，我就花了3,500美元从一位私人车主那里购买了一辆几乎全新的1970年的Datsun 240Z。几天后，我开着它在密歇根到洛杉矶间跑了一个来回，没有开空调，一路上它的表现时时刻刻都让我满意。几年后，这辆车因融雪盐腐蚀而报废了，不过它扎实的可靠性还是让我在之后的很多年都很买日本车的账。

Datsun 240Z

    After reading rave reviews for the first Z-car, my unreliable MG became yesterday's news, and I coveted nothing less than the Japanese Jaguar. Within weeks, I located a barely used 1970 model and paid full sticker of $3,500 to buy it from a private owner. Days later I drove it from Michigan to Los Angeles and back again, sans air conditioning, and loved every minute. Road salt took its toll on the Z after a few years, but its rock-solid reliability sold me on Japanese cars for a long time.
