Don't know what you've got til it's gone...

I've been prepping my Z for sale and seeing it in this condition has reminded me just what a gorgeous car it is. I've been pretty meticulous with it in general, 2-bucket washing, clay/polish/wax, but it's been raining a lot around here so once the honeymoon period was over it probably went a month or so between washes.

I took it to a panel beater to fix two door dings and asked them to give it a polish while they were there. Great result! Now I've waxed it and detailed the trim and I'm staring at it again like the day I brought it home.

BTW I think with the Z in particular, paying attention to the exterior trim makes a massive difference.

ha I want more seats. I guess my point was it's easy to take anything for granted after a while, and I'll miss it.

I'll miss it but I'm ready to sell it. I've had an RX-8/350Z/370Z run and I'm moving on. My post was a fresh appreciation for how fine the Z is. The title is a bit dramatic I guess but I can't edit it.
