Great shots Matt. Looking forward to seeing it again. Will you make Midwest Z Fest in Omaha?
Be sure to catch the Winery CruiZe in September.

I suddenly have the urge for Orange Sherbert. Nice car, the pic on the train tracks makes me nervous.

Heya Blu...Had planned on the track day and Omaha trip, but it's the 'ol lady's birthday. I love my car and all things Z, but I need to make sure she has a great weekend. We are going to the Winery Cruize though, and have made our reservations to spend the night.

Very nice. The car does look clean, but doesn't the orange look pretty good even when it isn't?

I wouldn't know...I never let it stay dirty! The color is totally different in the shade vs direct light though. You don't see the flake at all in the shade.

Hell yes...about a week after I bought the car. I use it religiously now, and actually spent 5 hours layering Zaino the day I took all of these pics. I had just been using Z2 and Z6, but I noticed some very faint surface scratches. SO I ordered the Z5, put 3 layers on while using the Z6 spray in between and it filled the scratches in. Looked better than new. I then did 2 layers of the Z2...followed with the finishing spray Z8....and thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen! I swear by that stuff, and when people at the carwash come to talk aboupt the car, I tell them all about it.

This is no shi**...after taking that pic, I pulled off the tracks and contemplated doing another angle. I discussed it with my girlfriend and we decided not to bother. About 30 seconds later the bells started and the arms came down!!! We would have been in the way! Glad we got the pic when we did, but even more glad we left well enough alone.

I've had many compliments on the color, and really there is nothing else out there like it right now.

In Portland at the dealership closest to my house there were like 5 Solar Oranges on the lot. I'd have to say I am not a big fan of Orange, but damn the Z still looks great!
