Yeah, and some of them are Datsun folks. Some of us will shell out big
bucks for a stereo, nice wheels, expensive wax and polish for the paint and
chrome. But won't spend the money on replacing the air & oil filters,
ignition points, rotor, distributor cap, spark plugs, and brake fluid.
We're talking small bucks here, under a $100! Hey, we're all guilty of this
to a certain extent. How often are all of you swapping these parts? I know
I'm not doing it often enough. Let's all show our cars that we really do
CARE (as in saying we love roadsters), and replace this stuff at least ONCE
a year. (Non-runners are excused!)
