Q: Would you take a Z on a trip?

FlashBazbo · 06-16-2009, 09:41 AM

I'm doing a Middle-Tennessee to Oklahoma (Tulsa area) round trip in August. No way will I drive anything other than my Z.

After reading this, though, I will purchase some "protection" before I go. Any recommendations for easy-on, easy-off, effective nose protection?

They need to make a Z Prophylactic.

$600 for "some" paint chip protection...vs spending $400-$600 for paint-chip repair.

Dunno...

I'm planning on having it professionally detailed on the 27th of this month, so, maybe that'll keep the bugs from sticking (I can always spray it off when I get up there)

Knowing my luck, I'd probaby do more damage with that than any road debris would do.
