Haha, Ill be the first to call you out on that one. But in general I think all the colors look great, but if you dont like the Montego Blue/ Tan you are certainly entitled to that opinion. Personally, I really like it.
But at least we can all agree on the car itself!

I know of people with Grand Nationals that used to drive the cars every weekend with the odometer / speedo unhooked for years on end. I think one of them was a GNX with the window sticker still in the car. I seem to recall the miles being lower than I watched him drive in a weekend.

^ i think there are still things you can't fake, i mean, look at the interior, it's almost like new
and about the "green" it's actually blue, and i like it...when i get an FD, it'll be montego blue

I saw what appeared to be a Spirit R, at sevenstock, two or three years ago. Silver/gray exterior. Don't remember what the interior color was. It was on display in the courtyard at Mazda R&D in Irvine. It was locked, so you couldn't check the mileage. Looked like it had never been driven. Tires still had all the nubs on them. Serial number was 00001. Maybe it was a prototype, but appeared to be a fully functional car. Hood was never opened
Made me drool
Oh yeah, it was a left hand drive!!!

I bought my Montego Blue FD last November with only 5,142 orginal miles- it was sold new in April 1997 to the first owner who I bought it from. It also has a 12/95 build date- it was a weird case, but it was like going back in time and getting to buy a brand new one!!!! It had just been sitting in this guy's heated garage in RI for 7-8 years. Some people are nuts!!!

i can't imagine myself EVER driving a RHD car, even when i get older (MUCH older)...i'm hoping to have the financial means to import a skyline GT-R (R34...i saw the R35 prototype....ugly as hell) and i'll convert it to LHD

hey man don't bash untill you try, my bud has a right hand 1990 Nissan 300ZX, that thing is really fun to drive, cause 1 it's moderaty fast and 2nd it's right hand drive, to me is seems "natural" to be on that side, i got another friend importing a 1990 skyline this week (he's buying this week be here in 1-1 1/2 months) and it will be right hand drive. i find it alot more fun then noraml left hand drive, consider me a nut but holy crap it feels so much better to be on the "right" (ha ha ha no pun intended) side, if you get a R 34 Try it RHD first then if you really don't like it convert it, but i tell ya i think RHD owns LHD
