Default ZThang finally got his Z!!! [PHOTOS]

Well after waiting about 9 months (since April)...there is finally a Z in my driveway. It's all everyone said it would be and more...for those of you still waiting...just tough it out guys...i lost hope every now and then too.

Some general comments:
1. It's true...everything is stiff and creaky (ie. seatbelt, shifter, etc.)
2. There is ALWAYS plenty of torque...even at 2k rpms.
3. It grabs a lot of attention...both positive and negative.
4. Rear view mirror is almost useless (side mirrors great though)

Quick question...do all models come with the autodimming mirror with garage opening capabilites?

Hint, you drive from the other side!

Seriously, congrats.

I'm not sure what you are talking about being stiff and creaky, though.

Everything from the Enthusiast model up I believe has the Homelink/auto dimming mirror.

Congrats!!!The ride is stiff which you might expect from a true sports car - I'm not sure what creaky is though????

Hope to see you at the meet this weekend.

Base doesn't come with that Homelink crap. Which, actually, I could use, so I may be kicking myself here. At any rate, enjoy your beauty, and get those windows tinted!!
Makes a world of difference.

Or England.

However, notice the wheel in the other pic

BTW, while driving in Australia, my biggest problem, strangely enough, was turning on the wipers with my left hand when intending to hit the turn signal.

Grr.
