Congrats and welcome, Nathan! :tiphat:

Definitely address the possibility of the steering lock failing. The easiest way to fix it, is to pull the fuse. Check out these threads -

Also, I see you live in the South, so you will probably want to invest in an oil cooler. Z1 and Stillen are your best bets.

Welcome. I'm in Wake Forest. I just joined a few weeks ago myself. Bought my Z about 6 weeks ago. I still haven't posted pics but will soon.

Welcome aboard. Out of Raleigh, NC area myself... usually.
