Nissan did a great job with this facelift, it looks fantastic (especially in this colour combo)! I agree with others, it is too expensive in performance guise at $65K and Nismo pricing is just laughable (the Nismo also looks ungainly IMO). The performance model is the variant to have but should be at least $10K cheaper. Very uncommon to see a new Z in the wild, I've only ever seen two in YYC. I'm a bit of a Z aficionado too, I have owned a couple 1990 Z32's and a 1973 S30. I'd rock this one, but not at $65K. And the GR Supra is a better option for the B48/58 alone.

The Dodge dealer in Strathmore had one of these. It's the ultimate go anywhere machine.

But still cheaper than a Honda Prelude.

What is the best way to get oil drip stains off my concrete driveway? My son's friend's old Mustang has left a bunch of "character" behind when he parked there.

If you have some oven cleaner that you haven't used in forever, worth starting off with that before buying other stuff?

Brake cleaner works pretty good on my shop floor.

Yeah, but shop floors are typically less porous than an exterior driveway. Different animals.

I've used TSP, boiling water and a stiff-bristled broom. Usually have to do a few rounds (in a row...you don't have to wait days, hours or even minutes). It's just crystals/a powder. Dump some on, pour on the boiling water and scrub. Rinse and repeat until it's gone.

How do you even drive on these things?
