I guess this can go for any sports cars with stiff suspension setups. I now try to drive my Z whenever it's nice out and I frequently encounter those bumps and potholes, especially downtown. I don't think much of it at first but now I'm wondering if it's doing my spine, back, and neck any good each time I run over them. Im still kind of young but I don't want to be predisposing myself to any back or spine problems a few years down the road by driving my Z too much. Any thoughts?

 

I bought a little back cushion to provide at least a little lumber support, just by luck it happened to be an exact match to my leather seats including color and the little breathing holes.

Lumber support is one area that the Z is really lacking compared to most other cars.

 

Not to minimize your question, but I think driving a Z has the opposite affect on your health. It is good for your overall health. What else, other than sex, can improve your mood, reduce stress and relax you almost immediately.

 

Yeah, the Z's not very good with carrying wood.

 

No, but it might help you meet women that'll give you wood.

 

Are you serious?

Sounds like Maryland just got a new shipment in from Columbia!!!

 

yeah, stress kills. what can u bring u more happiness than driving a z? maybe the sex you might get from it? haha. either way, i say its more healthy.

 

umm ok yeah...this thread went downhill fast. Thanks guys!

 

good excuse to get coilovers....

 

Serious note Mantis to your post, don't worry about the damage to your spine. There are many things out there that will spoil your back, the Z is not one of them (from a 56 yr old with a new Z). Go onward and upward this is not a worrry.

 

Come on. It's not nearly that bad. The Z has a stiff suspension but it's not bone-jarring. I stand all day at work and that's got to be much worse on my back than the ride home.

 

You should stop breathing... I hear that the air we breathe nowadays is "polluted"

 

lumbar support should fix the problem.. what health risk? drivin it is like taking a bubble bath... can i sleep in my Z?

 

the effect that the Z has on your stress is priceless

 

driving Z reduces stress

worrying about *more* door dings while car parked at work from inconsiderite, illegitimate, inbreed, inempt freaking parking lot ******** may increase stess

darn and i just trashed that email about cheap vicidin and XANAX...

 

Did someone say "wood"? :P

 

Not only that but the air these days is very course and can really tear up your nostrils.

 

The Z has been known lead to chronic enlargement of your ego, and you'll probably stay up later with all the women you'll meet.

 

Put your money into chiropactors and track days. It'l all be good.

 

You would notice!
