Well most of you probably already saw this in the other threads, but I had an incident with some debris on the highway on Friday (day after I picked up the car)

When I pulled over on the highway, I found the fender liner was wrapped up in the plastic and stuck under the car. The undershroud and RH splash guard ripped off completely and were left back on the road somewhere (I called 311 to notify them). The LH front fender liner was left hanging and just rubbed against the tire while I tried to limp to the next exit
Considering I was expecting a flat tire and the bumper to be ripped up pretty good when I pulled over, I'll take these circumstances.

Thankfully it was one of my extra plastic undershrouds that got ripped off. I have a ZSpeed one I will put on. Picked up some new fender liners from the dealer on Sat. Will have to drag the floor jack and some jack stands to my parents' house (where I managed to limp the Z after the incident) so that I can install the new fender liners and undershroud and drive it home.
Also, I found the ambient temperature sensor in my house not where it was supposed to be. Thank goodness because it's the last thing I need to get the AC working in the Z again
