Welcome Kamuela!
Surely there must be a few places where you can get past 60 without a problem! :lol:
Enjoy your Z4.
A few. Not saying more. Ha.
I particularly like this forum because of the level of detail. Something I've learned to do when car shopping is check out the on line fora for indications of regular problems; for example, the '90 Miata short nosed crank problem (I come from the Miata world; had 5 of the little gems, done. When I find myself making the shopping list of what needs to be changed/repaired, it's time to move on). This forum seems to have the most information about what doesn't work, and what to do about it. So, when shopping with the approval of She Who Must Be Obeyed, I was alert to known issues like coolant leaks from the expansion tank and drowned top motors, for which I thank the collective wisdom.
Anyway, 53k miles, maintenance records from 2nd owner on (I'm number 4. Number 1 apparently was an idiot, because number 2 spent ungodly amounts of money fixing things just in time for number 3 shell out for Inspection 2), can't seem to find anything wrong other than some minor scuffing on the seat bolsters, easily treated with a bit of leather dye, and a few stone chips. I guess I can live with that.
By the way, SWMBO has yet to set, er, posterior in the Z; recovering from a knee replacement and can't bend that far. Yet. Fortunately, she's approves and is glad it's not another motorcycle (I can hear the thought; "please, God, not another Harley!").
Anyway, here I am.
