Driving my 1977 280Z across the country

Hi all,

I hope you don’t find this too strange, but then if you read this site you likely drive an old Z, as I do, or a 300zx, so you’ll likely understand.

Back in the early 1970s I had a great time hitchhiking across the country several times. Now I’m grown up (53), and I’d like to try something similar, only different: I’m going to drive my 1977 Z across the country in a couple of weeks (basically I-80 from California to New York), and I like to meet a cross-section of the Z-Car community on my drive. I’m looking for two kinds of participation

The 1st is a, “let’s have lunch,” for any of you who live midway between my planned stops.

My 2nd is a chance for a little car-talk and a need for accommodations for one night, (anything from a couch to throw a sleeping bag on up) in any of the following areas (except stops 2 and 6).

Start: Los Gatos, CA

1st stop (between Elko NV and Wendover NV) 2nd Stop - Logan UT (to see my wife’s sister and brother-in-law) 3rd Stop (between Cheyenne WY and Pine Bluffs WY) 4th Stop (between Lincoln NB and Des Moines IA) 5th Stop (between Toledo OH and Cleveland OH) 6th Stop – Downington, PA (to see my best friend from Graduate School) Back Home – Wakefield RI

So, if you can have lunch or could possibility put me up (or is that put up with me?) for one night any of those areas (or close to them) please e-mail me at snipped-for-privacy@netscape.net and we’ll open a conversation.

If this works out I’ll post my log and the pictures of the tip on the web.

Thanks,

Phil Sharkey
