Does the Z have any decent crash test ratings? I remember looking around the time I bought mine, but much wasn't available.

Car and Driver crashed their test Z by driving a stock car like it was built for the track and overheated the brakes. I'm pretty sure the driver lived

Mr. Onzedge is still alive. His original 370Z got trashed pretty good by a pickup truck that pulled out in front of him.

Glad to know I have a remote chance of surviving a decent crash.
Found a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. May go test it out. I'm not afraid of newer Hyundais. Seems they've come a long way from being a joke of the auto world. Still stay away from all things Kia though.

Just so you know, Kia & Hyundai are made by the same folks....

If I get the Cayman, I'll probably do most of the service myself, outside of heavy work (clutch and the like). I'm looking at moving to a house after the first of the year, so I'll have garage space to work on stuff again. I've got almost as much $$ tied up in tools as I do in my Z....

She doesn't seem to understand that I could have paid for a new-to-me DD with two years worth of tire funds.
