Thank you for being kind in your word choice there, Caitlin.
I have a soft spot for those cars. I owned one when I was a young adult, and a few years back, I purchased a 1977 280Z as my “midlife crisis” car. I took it out for a drive during the Woodward Dream Cruise this past weekend (a huge one-day car event held in metro Detroit) so it’s been on my mind ever since.
But then again, I’m a car guy. I have a double mid-life crisis going on. I created opportunity to buy the same car I had in high school (not the exact one, but one like it) and have been using it daily for two years.
In the spring I plan to buy my next daily driver, an S-2000.
That was very…specific.

I figured out Cars from the title, but not being anythign near a car-buff myself, I was at a complete loss! Good brain stretch none-the-less!

I think this was the first one of these i got. I didn’t know the current number, but i recognized the sequence

The name of the game (“Driven”) gave it away for me. Not sure if I would have recognized the sequence otherwise.

got it! yeah the name of the game “driven” is what made the numbers make sense

I thought perhaps it had to do with degrees you might turn your steering wheel through of a particular manuever.

Thought it was 450; you know, how much I benched in the weeks leading up to now. I’m such a beast.
