Lowering the Zed does definately help make it look sexier.

Pretentious: making usually unjustified or excessive claims
And you are calling me pretentious?
Edit: I figured your unwarrented attack didn't justify a serious answer at first but I will now indulge you with one.
My using "Zed" instead of "Z" just stems from my early teachings that numbers should be spelled out at certain times instead of just numbering them, example: "nine" instead of "9". One proper place would be a start of a sentence. Apparently you shouldn't write "2 coffees to go." but rather "Two coffees to go." Then there is the obscure rule like you should write one through nine out if it is in the middle of the sentence, but once you reach 10 and above, you can number them instead of writing them out (example: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, etc.). It's just a grammar quirk that I have had since I was little that when I refer to the car more as a thing instead of a letter in the alphabet, I just automatically tend to write out "Zed" instead of "Z".

There is no key on the keyboard that says "zed". There is a Z and you can pronounce it any way you want but when you type it, it still looks like Z. I think you are a bit pretentious. Maybe the reason you don't have a Lambo is because there is no funny way for you to pronounce it.

Love the back of those things but dislike the front. I was behind it and I noticed there was a few looks at the Sky but I noticed a lot more people looking and noticing my Zed then the Sky (yes, I keep count, I'm that pathetic).
That really put me in a great mood, I was grinning like an idiot driving through downtown... Then I saw the Lamborghini Gallardo(Orange). The contest was over even before it got started. I found myself behind it and I might as well have been invisible. No one noticed me because there head was already turned looking at the Gallardo (yes, I keep count, I'm that pathetic).
I stumbled back wounded to my office and buried myself in work. I want a Lamborghini!

No doubt about it, the Z is a sweet lookin' car.

On photo, I don't like the looks of the Sky, but when I saw it in person like most cars, it was actually pretty nice looking. The back and sides are pretty sexy, but the front just ruins it for me. And yes, the engine is weak. 170HP/162TQ. But if they did what Pontiac did and released a turbo charged version of the Sky O.o That's another story.
Speaking of the Solstice, they are quite sexy looking in person.

Funny thing is that a week after I put the short antenna on, some guy in a truck pulls up beside me at a light and asked me where I got my short antenna for my car, I gave him a shocked look(I didn't think someone would actually notice). He saw my shocked look and told me he had a Zed in the shop getting a super-charger installed. That made a bit more sense, lol.
