Dropping your cellphone between the seats in a 370Z...

Waiz · 12-17-2011, 12:49 PM

Dropping anything between the seat and the center console is usually a massive PITA to get out for me.

Before I even sit down the phone goes in the cup holder and the wallet goes in the cubby hole where the nav system would go (i've got a base)

the worst,

If I ever forget my Blackberry on the passenger seat instead of the cup holder, its bound to go between the seats on hard cornering (everyday driving for me lol)

There is no fumbling while driving...gotta get out, on your knees, move seat...pita for sure.

I actually made a custom mount for my phone, it doesn't allow it to move and saves me from it flying out of the coin holder or the car entirely (almost happened

)

It won't really work the same for the Z34 but at least you guys might be able to find something that works for you:

It's velcro on both sides and the rear clips for this A/C vent mount were removed so it sits flush

dropping my cell between my seats is a very HPOF. (high pi$$ off factor) cuz then my hand must become an smaller than life mini action figure hoodini its way into the tight spaces and between seat coils exc.. lol. in the process injuring my hand by getting it caught

I dropped two quarters in between the seats and it's just at the right spot where i can't reach it with my hand or go underneath the seat to grab it! haha

Thought this to be appropriate for this thread.

Look up Drop Stops. We've got them in all of our cars and they work great. You don't even see them. I've got certian coats where anything I put in the pockets falls out immediately when I sit in the car.

LakeShow · 12-17-2011, 05:29 PM

I've dropped my keys there one time and my cell a few times. What a P.I.T.A. Or when you get up and step out the car, the phone just slips out the pocket and falls on the floor.

Apoc370z · 12-17-2011, 06:17 PM

nothing beats dropping loose change between the seats.. i think i have a couple dollars below my seat now

Skeeterbop · 12-17-2011, 07:52 PM

I lost my wallet under there once. Couldn't find it for a day, had my cards cancelled, then the next day my phone fell under there and when I found my wallet there too I was a bit irritated. Now any time I can't find something that is the first place I check.

I did this the first month of having my car, once was enough... I reached down under the seat to grab it and fished out like 3 old french fries, and i dont eat in my car... FML someone at the dealership was eating fries in my ride, awesome!
