Posted August 20, 201014 yr comment_328509 Every time I visit this site's Home Page I am amazed by how the owner of the red Z pictured in the center of the page was able to get that tree to grow through the Z's sunroof opening. It must really mess with the center of gravity on tight turns. http://www.classiczcars.com/modules/Jig/index.php Astounding!

That would explain the extra stout antenna. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36842-the-tree/#findComment-328512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 21, 201014 yr Author comment_328513 Great observation, Den; I was thinking about the13'6" clearances on underpasses more than the CG.From an ecological point of view, I'm guessing that the tree reduces the Z's Carbon Footprint considerably. However, it probably doesn't help the gas mileage.Dennis Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36842-the-tree/#findComment-328513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 21, 201014 yr Author comment_328514 It possibly messes with the radio reception of the Z on the far right also. That would explain the extra stout antenna. The "extra stout" lighted antenna would make that Z easier to find in a parking lot at night. Might consider one....
