Juvenile questions from a proud new owner
I'll be the proud owner of a used silver 2004 Z roadster this time next week. I have some juvenile questions I would appreciate inputs on:
1. I originally wanted to paint it black, but after seeing some pictures of white roadsters with black tops that look really good....now I'm in a real dilemma here. I know its a question of taste, but what I'm hoping to get here are some pointers of practicality between the two colours. My car has a black top and black seats + interior.
2. I decided on chrome or silver front lower mesh grills if I painted the car black. But if I were to paint the car white, would black grills suit better or should i stick to chrome/silver?
3. I met someone who has a 2007 350Z Japan import and he's offered to sell me a set of wheels for my 350Z roadster for a real bargain with brand new tyres. I haven't seen them yet but he says that they're 19" rear and 18" front and they originally came with his new 2007 350Z Japan import. Can I use this 19" rear/18"front configuration for my 2004 roadster?
4. I'm writing from Malaysia. The jungle behind my girlfriend's house has gangs of wild monkeys and they sometimes hang from the roof's and jump on cars. They even sometimes break into the house to steal food from the refrigerator. Not kidding. Since I'm getting a roadster, do you think monkeys jumping on the vinyl top might do any damage? How about my neighbour's cat which I've seen jumping with claws extended on my other cars?
5. If I come across Rosie O'Donnel on the streets of Malaysia, do you think the damage to my 350Z would be substantial if I accidentally ran over her, twice?
6. Roadsters are as rare in my village as a third nipple. I was originally thinking of getting a BMW Z4. Which do you think is a bigger chick magnet; a phallic shaped BMW Z4 or a stout muscular 350Z roadster? A personally conducted private and non-partisan random poll in my village suggests that the Z4 is, sadly, the marginal winner.
