an_unusual_eye ◊ 2016-06-04 22:04	it might... that would be cool. episode is from 1991 though. the car probably disappeared sometime between filming and the full explosion of the internet. on most search engines, if you search "240Z", mine comes up in the first couple images, but i think that's because it's on the wiki S30 page.
