It's a Long Way To Empty In a 1980 Datsun 210

Red-blooded Americans normally don't give a rat's ass about fuel economy in their vehicles, but certain events in Iran made gas sippers such as the Datsun 210 look quite appealing. Every time you pass a gas station, you'll want to kiss your 210 (unless you're angry at it because there's no place to set your Big Gulp and the lack of 400 pounds of sound deadener means you're forced to hear road noise).

Since we've, like, spent all this money to send guys to Japan and stuff, I'm going to burn through my meager stash of Japanese DOTS cars like there's no tomorrow! So in a couple of weeks, when all you're seeing is Alameda's Deetroit and Yurpean stuff, you all will be entitled to some bitter complaints about my profligate squanderation of all the Japanese car photos (no doubt prompting me to run right out and shoot a bunch of '94 Sentras and '01 Odysseys).
