Also, it was about 3 months between when I bought my Z and when it first rained here, so it took me a little while to realize how slippery those Bridgestones can be in wet weather.

And its true too! And that comes with some finger nail marks on the seats too.

Nickintempe So Right I S%*T myself 2!! Everytime I get out of a Z (mine, my bro's, etc.) Damn Static Cling!
actually, the power outlet is still there in my 06, it's the cup holder that's gone.

I did my research before buying, so I knew most of the big things.
Okay, I've been looking for months now...where is that 2nd outlet under the dash?!!!
I have an 03 Touring btw.
My favorite "feature" is that when you crank your wheel all the way to one end, your mirrors move to give you a better view. Great for pulling out of parallel spots.

They do? Oh, and the 03 doesn't have the extra outlet up front so you don't have to spend any more months looking.
