Well...

Shakey-arse, crappy iPhone pic in a parking lot, somewhere in Santa Monica.

Weirdly enough, the one thing I originally didn't like about the car - The dashboard - I've decided that I now like. I originally called it 'tacky' and 'like a boombox', but now I think I understand why it is the way it is.

I like all the orange and white. I like making the navigation screen inverted white on black. I like the fuel gauge - It balances out the clock on the other side. I even like the font they use for 'D' in drive mode. It's all very futuristic.

I don't like the fact that one of the cupholders has been swiped in the Touring model for iPod space. Grrrr...

I'm slowly getting used to the blind spots. I feel like the driver's side is pretty well figured out by angling that mirror out all the way, but the passenger's side still leaves me a little startled. Still figuring it out. Any tips?

Thanks, Fellas!

^Try positioning the passenger seat so the headrest is behind the passenger window but in front of the rear quarter window, hiding the B pillar. Makes that rear quarter useful.

Also, my neck can swivel farther now than it could before I got my Z, it takes a good turn to see out the rear window

Z looks great, congrats!
