Q: Would you take a Z on a trip?

cajunz · 07-06-2010, 09:37 AM

Just got back from a 2700 mile trip over the 4th and left the 370 parked in the garage. Ended up taking the Accord because I've gotten to where I just can't stand the seats in the Z. I guess its either new aftermarket seats that are more comfortable or the 370 is going down the road. Any suggestions for new seats from those who've changed out their stock seats?

Month ago or so i drove from my apartment in San Antonio Texas, to my house in Seattle WA.. Roughly 2500miles. I purposely didnt tape/bra my car. I needed an excuse for a new front fascia!

I drove from Houston Texas to Naples Florida about 1 1/2 months ago. My back felt so horrible when it was all done with. I'm almost 20, so its not like I have a bad back its just the seats are not meant for long journeys.

Well I posted about my trip to Alabama and back and the next day I drive my car on a ten minute road trip and a rock popped up and chipped the nose on the hood. Man that stinks but I guess that is what you get when you drive these days. Dang it!

Weird. I was medically discharged from the military because of a back injury, and I can drive in the Z's seats just fine for 8+ hours.

Now I feel like a baby. Hah I really don't know man, it did not feel very good but I have always had some lower back pain from football in highschool, but it hasn't flaired up in a while.

Like I said in an earlier post about all of the miles driven by my wife and I. I have a very bad back problem and go the "Back Breaker" once a month. But the 'Z' doesn't seem to bother it at all and I will be 68 in November.........?

Driving position, seat position, and other factors may contribute to the comfort level as well.
