Question Poll: Z4 Attire

How do you think owners of Z's should dress?

I will add in my 2 cents at a later date, but for those that know me, you know what I think.

I like being casual so that's my choice. But, I have driven my Z in a skirt and heels, that was pretty fun.

I wear clothes to fit the destination - work requires "business casual", but on any other occasion it will likely be jeans/shorts, sneakers, and a T shirt. The only time I wear a shirt with a collar is when my destination requires it.

Oh boy, don't get me started on this stuff........

Men.....don't, please don't follow the popular trend of dressing like 9 year old boys. I don't much care what people wear as long as they act their age.

Women; just remember this; Spandex is a privelege, not a right.

OK, I'll go away now.

I ONLY wear my James Bond dinner jacket with booteneer and shoulder holster when in the Z. Always. No exception. It's an absolute. Even when going to the beach.

I'm a blue collar guy, so i'm mostly in jeans and a shirt that isn't too casual, but could never be considered dressy.

I dropped the shoulder holster for an ankle holster because I like to drive with my arm on the top of the door and the window down. color me casual.

Now....that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.......the Z4 is modern sculpture and it's hard to over dress when in the presence of high art. BTW, does the shoulder holster contain a Walther PPK? I prefer a 1911 45 ACP myself.....bigger hole.

The Z4 should be more about finesse than brute force. That is unless you have an ///M. With the small calibre stuff, you just have to shoot them in the left eye and watch the right eye change expression. Like to try my Desert Eagle?

I think that a Walther P99 9x19mm is the most appropriate one for the shoulder holster. James carries a Walther P99 9x19mm now.

socal you are so stirring up trouble on this board...."as little as possible?" Some of us would like to wear as little as possible, but its just not warm enough yet. Lets not rub it in that you live in sunny southern california.

As another thread topic was about driving barefoot, most definitely the feet should be bare. As for other clothes....well a tube top is my preference as there are no tan lines.

The only way to avoid tan lines, Rosie, is to go nude (or at least topless). Why don't you test my statement by trying both and seeing the results and then posting photos on this thread.

Speaking of tan lines, has anyone else noticed what I call a "driver's tan"? My forearms and backs of my hands are as dark as they ever get, but my fingers a still pasty white from being curled around the wheel.

(Now back to the more fascinating subject of ladies wearing as little as possible)

Now if only Rosie and I could get away with that without getting arrested THAT would be some fun driving...feeling the warm sun and wind whirling around our........well, you know. Would it be awful if we stepped out of our Z's like that in our 4" heels? (see Barefoot thread )
