Nice write-up! It's really funny how everybody confirms that the Z feels home at higher speeds.
Sorry to hear about the windshield. That's nasty! Hope you get some coverage. After 70k miles a new one should make the car feel like brand new.
I can't wait to take my Z on another road trip.
With it's seats and it's cabin it just feels cosy. I like how there are no back seats but just a "wall".
Still my waifu gets plenty of legroom to make herself comfy.
Adjusting the seat and "moving" around a little is important anyway. Even more with an AT as you almost never put pressure on your lower back.
