Default I know the feeling

Thats similar to how it happend to me. Went to SF on biz in Feb 2003. I drove around my friend's new base 03. Flew home, traded in my 8 month old 2002 mustang gt convertible.

Never looked back.

Man I love this car

jmagilto2, nice choice in color.

I guess whatever works for different Z owners, is fine by me. If you see me in the DB roadster, in the west LA area, the top will most likely be down and I’ll hazard, bright light or wave back at ya.

How funny GM - I am bi-coastal as well SF and Phila Pa.
I also ride

We must fit someone's marketing profile somewhere.
Scary!

Yeah I think you’re right, but I have a confession to make; my fiancé bought me the bike and I still haven’t learned how to ride. I’ve always loved sport bikes and I figure sooner or later I’ll take the course, clean the dust off (been sitting in the corner of my garage for years) and cruise up the coast like I see all those bikers doing on the weekends.

I started riding when I moved to Ca in '94. I took the MSF (Motorcycle safety foundation) class. It was a weekend and used their bikes. It was well worth it !

Once the dust is off, you are going to have a blast

you use both, and it is bad for you xenons, it deminishes their life to have them on for short periods of time, as opposed to leaving them on while you drive. im runnin the 04 it may be that way on 03's. double check that id be interested.

2003 Owners Manual; page 2-22:

Pulling the lever toward you will flash the headlight high beam.

I assume the same is true for the '04.

You are correct about the xenons, short time on or quick on/off is bad for them.
