Meh, why not? If you do, you'll fit in for the most part. Seems nobody here can afford a decent car anymore anyway. It's turning into a bumper car rally now.

When I was younger, it was fun to drive out to LA for the weekend, but I don't bother anymore. All the things that used to be nice have been ruined by LA's inflated costs, high population, and/or illegal immigration. Sadly, Phoenix is on the same path, just like, 15 years behind.

Not just LA, it's all of California! Especially the immigration problem! Most do not control their children, who eventually "join gangs"!

The blind spot, particularly on the driver's side is very bad in the 370Z - I got spoiled in my 350ZR as there was no blind spot at all!

While I haven't gone out and bought one yet, I'm going to buy a small dome/fish-eye mirror to put on the driver's side to help...other than that, the only thing you can do is to be very aware of the traffic around you before changing lanes...you just kind of have to assume there is a car in your blind spot until you prove otherwise!

Where do you buy these fish eye/dome mirrors you guys are talking about?

Do they need to be professionally installed or can you do it yourself?

Most any decent auto parts store will carry them.
