J when are you getting a Z to test drive? I think you will give us more information than newspapers like the Boston Globe or rags like newsweek. I could see if only car magazines were getting test cars, but I think you should qualify I mean you got a media pack and all.

You would be perfect for a tester, B/C you already are so farmiliar with the car and what type of questions we all have. Also you are not limited by word count. You could make the review as detailed as you like. And you could get our imput about what we the exact test market want to know.

I have a few suggestions for your test drive and maybe others can give you some more good ideas.

1) exactly how sluggish off the line is it?
2) try ramming the cupholder with your knee to see how much force it takes to break
3) Drive around the block BACKWARDS, in traffic using only your mirrors
4) try to fit a seven layer wedding cake in the back without messing up the interior or the cake
5) balance a quarter on top of the gear shift lever while driving in 1st gear and see at what rpm it falls off
6)get pulled over by a cop while testing top speed and see if they let you go because they think the Z is so cool
7)nav cover side bar just how cheap is it?

OK now get to work.

Smile one more to the checklist

try that mt. dew stunt where the guy flips the car while retrieving his dew....ensure you have a person of similar weight in the passenger seat.....we want to determine if the sub woofer will cause the car to list to the port side while attempting dukes of hazzard type manuevers

Be sure to stop at NALP (National Association for Little People) during your test drive and pick up a dwarf. Then please let him drive it and let us know if the window sills are too high!!
