DAT510 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 This thread is for your stories while driving, whether they are racing or stupid ideas that are one of your best memories. seeing as i only have my permit to drive, i shouldn't be getting ideas but..... My dad was telling me that in the 80's on his way to work he was on 680 in his Chevelle when a 510 came blazing by. the 510 slowed down a bit for my dad, on the third honk the 510 and my dad punched it. my dad slips away for a second, then the 510 gets a hold of him and speeds past him like nothing. there is also a time my dad had a 82 Dodge Magnum ( i don't think they were sold here) and drove the car to 270 KPH share your stories, i wanna read em! ^_^ Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Cruzed the Alki Beach waterfront today in the mid afternoon. At the end there was stop and go traffic FOREVER! Had a decent gap between me and the car infront of me. Noticed in my rear view that a group of street bikes were going around everyone in the Bicycle lane on my right. Traffic was moving slow and steady at this time so I... 1) Full Throttle... 2) At high RPM Drop Clutch in 1st Gear, 3) Immediately move left foot to brake and push enough to keep from hitting the car ahead... 4) Continue to smoke tire as long as possible for the Bikes to Enjoy! I could tell they were happy from the way they hit their rev limiters as they rode thru the cloud! The best part was that it was a concrete area so the tire Screamed like Crazy! Quote Link to comment

DREWSDIME Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 My 510 is by no means a show car or even that nice but I love it. Yesterday on the way to my girlfriends house some guy pulled next to me on the fwy and asked me if I wanted to sell it, I said no and speed up then the guy pulls next to me again and whips out a wad of cash and asks me again, I still reply no he gives me I thumbs up and I flash him the peace sign and pull off the freeway. Its funny how I get more compliments on my 510 than any other cars I've ever owned, everybody loves a Datsun ! Quote Link to comment

Been to Seattle once, checked Alki out.....probably the coolest little area I've been to in a very long time. Never drove those roads over the hill though. Quote Link to comment
