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.

when i lived in LA over a decade ago there was an older guy in a modena that shopped at my local groceries every sunday mornings around 5:30am.

we'd see each other's cars every weekend cause i alwaysed parked 2 spaces over in the empty parking lot.

i'd head out to the canyons by 6am...back by 11am.

405 was the schits.

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.
