I sometimes think I should've bought new, but I ideally didn't want to pay more than 20k. Paid cash & am happy I don't have to make payments.

I am. I want it. It's good to hear the downsides too, though.

Tony, do you have another car, or are you DD'ing the Z?

clutch slipping will have the RPM go up without an increase in speed....

Tony was it like when you put it in a certain gear you were mashing the gas and the RPMs nor your speed was accelerating?
