1) I think we can all agree that this new F-Tyoe, in all configurations - whether convert or coupe - is intoxicating! (in all the best ways).
2) And I can agree that you and I are damn lucky to have such encouraging and supportive wives! Mine not only encouraging me to get the car but truly embracing and enjoying same. (She's even been wringing out her BMW 325xi 6-speed manual wagon (with sport suspension) more and more since driving with me in the F-Type. Funny really). Sounds like we definitely married up! Then again I've rarely met a man who didn't).

Your post just reminded me that's likely what they do at the factory. Right after driving my car home from the dealer, one of the first things I did was to check the tire pressures, which were near the sidewall limit (over-inflated for driving), and released enough air to get them to the recommended driving spec.
Of course, the dealer should have done that, but didn't.

I would recommend against this unless it's a track/race car which sees a higher frequency of maintenance. The reason being is that when you jack up the car, it will put the suspension at full droop. This can allow surface rust to develop on areas of the damper that aren't normally exposed, which can eventually cause increased wear (i.e. those surface rust particles can get lodged when the suspension gets back on the ground).
The reason I mention race/track cars, is that those individuals typically need to have their dampers rebuilt/serviced much more frequently than a street car so it's not much of an issue (and my track/race car lives on jack stands 80% of it's time).

As I drink my morning cup of coffee gazing through my (open) window at the 70 degree sunny LA November weather, I couldn't help but laugh heartily, like a pirate, at those who are not as fortunate as I.
(just kidding)
