Will i fit in her?

This is a bit off topic but worth noting. One of the difficulties with the Z is exiting the car in tight parking spots. I'm only 5'7 and getting out

This is a bit off topic but worth noting. One of the difficulties with the Z is exiting the car in tight parking spots. I'm only 5'7 and getting out can be a pain with the long door and thick door panels. I would imagine it being almost impossible for some one who is over 6ft.

Since I am unlikely to park so near another, it has not been a problem.

Yeah constantly getting in and out of the Z for me (like two three times a day sometimes) does put pressure on my back, especially when I have to try and stand up and get out, in a small opening. LOL. Thats why I always park where there are no cars next to me, so I can swing the door open as far out as need be to get out, but its in my garage I always find it tight, when my other car is parked in there with the Z, its almost impossible to come out but I manage it somehow. I guess with constant practice, you get use to it.
