Q: Would you take a Z on a trip?

They have those clear 3M tape on bras. Tests have proven it can deflect
Small pebbles at 60 mph without damaging the bra.
70mph damage only to the bra. But I heard some people getting
Good protection up to 80mph.
Price is between $600 to $800 and has a warranty.
Not sure for how long but I've heard some people say 1 year.
Others up to 3yrs.

Took the Z on a 780 mile weekend roadtrip to the Shenandoah Valley, Va. The Z ran great. Oil temp. did not go above 220 degrees, even with some pretty aggressive hill climbing in the mountains. The yellow color attracts a nice assortment of bugs, which hover about and land on the car, in addition to those splattered on the grille. An annoying squeak was identified as coming from the plastic molding on the passenger rear where the hatch rests. Mileage was around 25 m.p.g. overall.

Last week we ran 3000 miles out to the "Badlands" then on to "Mt Rushmore" and then turning south to "Pikes Peak" in our new 370. At that point we then turned east and returned home. This trip this year concluded the trip we started last year in our old 350 when we went to the desert south west then west coast and on to the Pacific northwest before returning home after 6998 miles. On that trip we were in the Z for a month. The trip last week was just six days. My 65 year old wife says the Z's ride just as nice as her 300C even for those distances.
