Summary

Andrew Collins -longtime auto journalist and friend- is about to drive his ratty Nissan 300ZX across the country. But before he does, he sits down to talk with us about: the new C63's odd powertrain; the dream two-car solution from a single OEM; what our no-budget daily would be; parking project cars near bears; Jeffrey Dahmer; and more! Andrew Collins is an automotive journalist and longtime friend. He cut his teeth at Jalopnik, ran Car Bibles, and currently writes for TheDrive. He owns a camo-painted Scout that would terrify your parents, a 280ZX (which he's driving across country), an Acura TL with over 200k miles, and a tough Montero. He loves a good crap can, project, or obscure piece of metal.
