Never went that low on fuel before

I was burning off the free tank of gas that the dealer put in my car. I had no idea what brand of gas or octane they used, I can only imagine that they used the cheapest stuff possible.

You've got about 40 miles of highway range left when it kicks over.

KillerBee370,

Life is a matter of one's perspective. I still drive around with people who see a yellow car, even an a exotic, and say, "Boy, he must have gotten a great deal on that one!"

If I recall Pushing Tin resides in Oregon, which is not a self-serve gas State, he is probably tired of explaining how to open the fuel lid to the attendant versus simply having a means of popping it open where the attendant can see they it is open.

Although I would not have need for rear window wiper those who live in areas of inclement weather (and I can definitely see having one in Japan) value such a wiper. Northwest States have pissy rain, that is like a constant heavy dew; this type of rain coats a window versus shedding.

A coat of Rain-X might help with that. One treatment is usually good for a month or 2 depending on how much rain you get.

The problem with any coating is that if it gets dirty then if effectiveness is reduced. Beside, I rather Pushing Tin chime-in on his thoughts regarding his situation. I use Rain-X, although when it first came out it was stronger concentrate than it is today.

I wonder what a coat of car wax would do for the rear window? Idiotic question I know, but the idea just came to me.

It would shed moisture just like any other part of the car. You can wax just about anything. I do it for coated wheels all the time and you just hose the brake dust off.

It works great for wheels, might not work great for glass though. Although I'm sure it would repel water it's probably not going to be perfectly clear.

SoCal is exactly right. Here in Oregon we are too retarded to pump our own gas. So we have to hire people even more retarded to do it for us. In my other cars you either open the fuel door from the outside, or you pop it from inside. Now I have neither option which means I have to get out every time and show the gas clown how to open it.

As I already stated in another reply, the topic of this thread is (370Z complaints so far.) I did not start the thread but since somebody else is interested, or may be thinking about buying the car they want to know what people in the real world like/dislike about the car. I have owned more expensive cars than my Z and I had complaints about them too.

I got one. Theres an edge on the end closest to the hinge on the inside that sticks out, on the door. When you're pulling your leg in to get out, if you're tall at all or wearing boots (Im in the military), its VERY easy to hit that damned edge. I foresee it wearing down fast

Well I'm just saying the 328 for instance offered more bang for its buck compared to the c300
