I just put mine on last night. It feels really good and it is the perfect size. Im just not very fond of the red stiching since nothing on my car is red, Ill probably just color over it with a sharpie.

America rules the world remember

No, we decided that here in the U-S of A we pronounce it Zee. Where as any other English based english speaking country prounounces it Zed. It's just the way they pronounce their letter "Z" in their alphabet. douba-you, ex, why, Zed. So it was settled that Zed is not a nickname, but an actual letter of the alphabet. And it's true, top gear also pronounced it Zed so there you go.

Bride is nice, but I like mine to say MOMO or Formuling!

Anyone that pronounces it 'Zed' is merely because they didn't have the cohones to throw off the imperialistic chains of British colonial oppression...

Top Gear calls it 'Zed' because it's a freakin' British television show!
