Going backwards only hurts your gas mileage anyway.

But it subtracts the current mileage you already have.....that's why I only have 13.4 miles on my Z....and I've owned it since April. I specifically drive in reverse on 395 during rush hour traffic.

How is it the dealer's fault if you can't work a stick shift? Are they supposed to show you how to unscrew the tire valve stem caps too?

The dealer has a pretty extensive checklist to go over, I know it took them a while to go over everything with me.

Yes...they should!

My salesman failed to explain which of the three pedals operated the brakes, so I wrote a very nasty letter to the GM of the dealership, as well a 1-star rating on Yelp. Needless to say, I had a very difficult time leaving the lot with my new car.

Yeah, everyone should just be able to jump in any car and find where reverse is. I've had cars mario andretti couldn't find reverse in.
Why don't you stop being rude in every single thread you walk in. No one is impressed.

The 370z was the first car I ever owned where you had to push down to go in reverse. All my previous cars where made before automakers lost faith in mankind.
