One of the things that is entertaining about the latest crop of big cruisers is the chromed fishbowl that is the headlight nacelle. It is much like a stone of Orthanc, in that many things can be viewed. In this case, I saw a strange statue and a dinosaur I had no idea was roaming around the compound.
Back when I was younger than I am now (which seems impossible, given my current middle-aged charm) I was hot for the Datsun 260 Z. Slowly but surely, Nissan has been fighting to get back some of that car’s brilliance. The 370Z is sacrilege in some ways, but overall does grab some of the minimalist glory of the past Z car. Good fun.
This plucky little Infiniti G37 Journey (with the “S” package) is a really interesting compact/midsized machine. It’s comfortable and taut, but most of all a rocket. I managed a 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds, and 60-0 braking was about 118 feet. That’s quite impressive in what looks a bit like a sleeper. True, $42K is a lot of lucre, but it is a nice package.
I love this. When Daytona Motorsports group assumed the running of the AMA Pro Roadracing operation last year, new President Roger Edmondson described Jim France (DMG owner) as “The most ordinary billionaire I’ve ever met.”
