you sound like my mom ms. pint. she is like 4ft 11 and told us that the economy seats in airplanes were too small, so she would only sit business or first class.

the Z's interior is ample big for a sports car, imo.

the fiat is a useless car. abarth is kinda cool, but still only as fast as my fit 5MT.

the only things I wish for would be more steering wheels adjustments and higher seat bolsters to keep me planted better and of course, one of those I can take care of after I do all of my higher priority mods and have some extra money in a few years lol

yah, the seat could use a tad more side bolsters for me too. but i only street the car and most of my streets are straight, i like the look of the base cloth seats, so im going to leave it alone for now.

i was thinking about getting some aftermarket seats since i had that popping/sliding driver seat (TSB), but i fixed that with my socket and mallet so it's been good.

Yeah, I like the cloth seats, and considering price and that I DD and don't track, I'm not looking at seats any time soon. I hope to someday relegate the Z to fun car and get a different DD, so it would make sense to wait until then for mods like seats and suspension.

that makes sense. i donno, by then you could be at an age where factory feels pretty damn good, and stop modding too much anyway.

my Z just felt at home when i brought her home. that front swaybar was a great addition though. i definitely recommend doing that even if you keep the rest of the suspension stock like me.

I don't drink any alcohol.

Juice's for the most part are yuck, though the ones that are good tend to give me a headache after a while.


I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place really. Gatorade isn't a good supplement.
Pretty much, yup

I know how old you are, it tells me under your avatar

I've actually recently started drinking some small protein shakes that actually taste decent (Special K brand). They're my breakfast, and occasionally and afternoon snack.

Since I stopped drinking sodas, water was always my go to drink, but yeah, not with food

That's not an option for me

Yeah, usually there's too much sugar or fake juice. I enjoy a small glass of 100% orange or grapefruit juice

Yeah, I like Gatorade, but only so much of it.

NEVER!

Yeah, that's actually one mod that will benefit even DD

hahaha.

yah, if you do get a swaybar, i definitely recommend getting the stillens and just use the front bar. that whiteline (although feels great) is a pita to setup at first.
