Default Interesting small find...

Look closely at the indicator underneath the fuel gauge.

There is an indicator specifically meant for the convertible Z.
It's an icon with the top lifting up.

The sun shined on it while I was driving, and i was thinkin
"what the heck is that??"

If you look at the underhood fuse box you will find a place for a fuse/relay for the "retractable top."

Right. But, what he said was funny b/c either (1) he didn't know there was a vert coming out, or (2) he did, but he was being sarcastic to the other poster that discovered the "small find".

Some people didn't know that the Z was designed with convertibles in mind from the start.

Whoa.... cmon, I know there's a convertible model before I
even thought about ordering the car.

That's why I say "small find," because it's small and quite
interesting.

Would I bust out with "BIG NEWS!"?? Probably not... but
I'm quit surprised it caused quite a reaction with the
"small find" line.

I should have chimed in before you came back to the thread. I agree with you completely. I find it very interesting that the car has had a convertible light from the start. I guess we're in the minority.

What's this about boost now Chebosto? I hadn't heard about that.

I don't think that's where the switch will be. Too easy to activate with your elbow.

Yeah, most likely down by the VDC button is my guess.
