Front of the car is lower than any other car i owned. I never pull all the way up into a parking spot i will eat the curb.

And my new bad habbit wich i shoudlnt do: NEVER i repeat NEVER tail gate me in my Z. If you think im going to slow and attempt to tail gate to get me to go faster, i DARE YOU to try to pass me. It wont happen unless your in a corvette or viper and even then i will still give you run for your money.

Yes my friends have tail gated me to aggrivate me. When you have a Z and you have the only one of the few in your area, people reconize you and you dont reconize them in there cars.

1) There is a lower parking lot at the gym I go to. Nobody ever parks there except me and maybe 2 or 3 other cars.

2) I baby it all the time..........until I see open road!

3) As stated before, everytime I get out and walk away, I have to look back at it to make sure its ok.

4) Look at the driver and passanger side doors when I get back in it from being parked in a lot.

5) I always look at my passangers shoes before they get in. I don't come out and say, "Let me see your shoes!" but I look to make sure they aren't caked in mud or anything.

6) Look at mods I can't afford.

7) I have a company car, and I drive that during the week days. I look forward to driving my Z all day long!

Park my car a mile away from heaps of junk.

Look back at it to remind why i want to sex it up all the time

Turn off the AC on 90 degree days so it doesnt effect performance

Clean it anytime there is any dirt on it

And now a question for the ladies: Is it just me, or is the Z REALLY hard to drive in heels? (I'm talking about MT here, not auto!!!)

Luckily, I don't need to wear heels very often.
The best way to find out is to put on a pair and try. Who knows, you may end up making it a habit.

For me, It makes little difference in how I drive my MT. Something funny, but a little scary though:

One day last week, I drove my Altima to the office. There were several men up on the roof. One of them must have thrown down a wad of chewed bubblegum. The temperature was around freezing. When I left to go home I apparently stepped in it. I got into the car not knowing I had. I turned up the temperature and drove off. Everything was fine until I slowed down after several miles and was coming to a stop. I could not remove my right foot from the gas pedal. I went into near panic, because it was dark and I couldn't see what was down there while I was trying to keep my eyes on the road. When I got home, after a struggle, I was able to pull my foot off of the gas pedal, and saw that there was bubblegum all over my shoe and the gas pedal. I went into the house and got a knife to remove it all. I was cussing all the while.

Uh, yeah...I've done it many times...that's why I said it's harder than my other MTs have been. Could also be that I spend more time driving aggressively in the Z than I did in the others.

I agree that heels + agressive driving don't go together. I wear my racing cat boots when I'm feeling a little race inspired...they are sweet! Oh that's another thing, I've purchased racing boots!! Who would have thought!! LOL
These boots are the best for agressive driving.

I don't wear heels that often, but I do know that the metal pedals seem to be smaller. I try to drive a little less aggressively when I do wear them. The worst part for me is in managing getting in and out without catching a heel on the door sill, knocking the hair clips out out of my hair, and trying to not look too gawky doing it... LOL

I usually am wearing sandals or hurraches or loafers, and I still tend to be a little too aggressive...so much that lately I've been trying to stay in the middle lane, just so I can avoid the temptation.

Haha, this reminded me of an incident a couple weeks ago. I actually scolded my date for closing the door too hard. It was our first date! (And yes, we've been out again since. )
