Very cool...How does that thing ride? I have heard that they handle like they are on rails but very harsh for a daily driver, Sexy car none the less. Congrats on raising a cool kid.

Not to mention he is also a 2nd LT XO, in the Army Reserve (proud parent speaking). Nevertheless, I know that exotic cars are his passion and photography is his hobby…

Congratulations on raising a fine son He does very well with the photography and could possibly earn a few dollars on the side to help pay for the gas in his other addiction

The car does ride hard, but handles extremely well. Yeah, you can feel a small pebble on the road, and because of the harsh ride, he got an S2000 for his daily driver.

Anyways, one time my son had taken me to an area down here in San Diego called Julian, and the route up to the town had very many switchbacks. I honestly have to say, at the +speeds that he was driving, the Elise on very tight turns was practically "glued" to the ground. Believe me, my blood pressure and heart rate must have been off the scale ...It also seemed like he enjoyed scaring the Sh#%, out of me.

From what I know of his car, he had modified the suspension to Sachs Single Adjustable Coilovers. Also, for me, always getting in and out of his car was a B#$tch.

All in all, driving through twisty roads was fun, and my son and I plan to go back up to Julian, and I plan on driving my Z4, following him casually and cautiously... LOL

Also, Thanks for the compliments with my son, so far he's been a good young man ...

How the hell did I miss this thread? Outstanding pics 1stKnight, and where did you get those extra storage pockets in the trunk of your Z? I love them, you could store lots of neat goodies in there

LOL, I guess being a newbie no one really notices you for awhile....

Anyways, I picked up the OEM "Trunk Storage System" from the Dealership, Part no. 82110152597 for $119.00. It is truly made with quality materials, and easily fastens to the existing holes already in the deck lid. It is durable and strong. I have put some of my car cleaning stuff in the pockets. I like it!....and,"Thanks" for the compliments on the pics....

I have considered purchasing the trunk storage system but did not know what I would put in there other than the car manuals. What else do you store in there?
