Groceries... no problem. I could go to Costco and buy in bulk and still fit everything in the Z.
I agree with the first portion but for me, Costco is definitely the little ladies car.

What car did you have at the time ?

Some cars demand your utmost respect. It's an interesting thing in life.


The roadsters trunk looks like a full size sedans trunk, ,

Yup.. the Z trunk being unusable is a gross exaggeration and those that disagree don't have an imagination. Lol. My Z trunk has been way more useful than most people would be inclined to believe.
