My wife's a keeper. I'd lose the Z before I traded in my wife. Fortunately for her, knowing cars isn't a prereq. I can tell who the single or divorced guys are in here.

Thanks AK370Z and Musashi. That's exactly what I hoped to hear. I had a feeling that everything was fine, but there's this little guy on my shoulder telling me the engine or tranny will die at 61k. I've heard that these VQ's are tough, but I didn't expect it to expel a burning smell on day 2, either.

I have heard some folks say "to hell with break in, drive it like you stole it" and everything turned out fine for them. Looks like I've joined that party.

BTW, getting 35% pinnacle ceramic tint and clear bra tomorrow. First one in the Seattle area with a 370Z at Accutint. Maybe the first 370Z with tint and/or clear bra in the area.
