So what did you use and how does it do when you use the touch up? I have a couple of small chips Id like to fix. Do the touch up kits come with a clear coat too?

californians can't drive in the rain. i checked the traffic report and whenever it rained, there would be tons of accidents. same thing today, it never changes.

I just dont see how people can buy this car and make it a garage queen, this car was meant to be driven, period. If you want a garage queen, buy a Z4 or an M.

I can't imagine driving the Z everyday. It's not much fun driving locally imo. I probably feel that way because it's not my daily driver. I mostly drive on the hwy so I have a blast in the Z. Friday was the 1st time I've driven the Z in a month. The weather in NY has been in the mid to upper 50's the last few days, so it was time to pull it out again. I only find the Z fun when it's being driven aggressively.

I dont know how some of you guys do it, seeing the Z sitting here and not having the urge to go out and light up the tires, if you spend 30k for something, you better get your a$$ out on the street and put that money to use!

small cities have some open space to play with and have some fun, so every day is fun for me.
