I think my post will pale in comparison to a lot of the other posts on this thread, but the Z is so different from any car I've had that I'm noticing that I think it's changed me....and I just had to mention this.
So this morning, my very dramatic and kind of negative teenage daughter, misses her bus and needs a ride to school. Normally, I'd be slightly pissed (her school is the opposite way from my work), but then I think it's just a little longer time I get to drive the roadster.
So we get in, I drive to the school and drop her off. Once that's done I:
1. Put the top down.
2. Put an Eagles CD in with specifically this playing:

3. And then take a leisurely speed, while other cars zoom past me to get to their workplace.
Sometimes there are gentle sunny days in Indiana that remind me of when I was a kid in California. (BTW, growing up in CA in the 70's was magic...not sure about today though.)
I know that a LOT of people are taking prescriptions for various things...anxiety, depression, and so on. I can tell you that having the Z the past six months has relaxed me and put a smile on my face almost daily. And this morning was a perfect example.
One of the best and healthy purchases I've ever made.
