Goodbye to the "Z"

After 3 years of ownership it was time to say goodbye. I really loved every aspect of the car but needed something more practical now that I have multiple grandchildren

Default Goodbye to the "Z"

After 3 years of ownership it was time to say goodbye. I really loved every aspect of the car but needed something more practical now that I have multiple grandchildren :-) I now own a Ford Explorer with all the bells and whistles.

Thanks to the forum and all the terrific members for the vast amount of information and assistance!

The best moments were banging the gears with my wife in the car. That annoyed the hell out of her...

Worst... Saying goodbye today...

True. I may want to scratch the sports car itch once again someday :-)

Here she is. Color is Magnetic. Starting to look at some replacement wheels.

That's what the grandchildren's parents are for, and/or your wife's car.
