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

gbrettin · 12-17-2011, 10:36 AM

Yeah...

I've actually freaked out about losing my cell one day. Come to find out the seat ate it. Mind you I spent 3hrs or so looking for it.

happens to me when i wear non-cargo casual pants and accelerate pretty quick.

so t-shirt and cargo pants is my official Z riding gear on the weekends.

Did it on my first drive home when I picked up my Z last week. Usually if that happened in my old car I could quickly grab it, but it's like the Z ate my damn phone! Had to wait until I got home to try find where it went. Cup-holder is now my cell phone holder after that...

A quarter fell out of my pocket on the drive home into that area and it's like it entered into an alternative dimension.....

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)

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

TheGreatOne · 12-17-2011, 01:01 PM

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

I forgot about this thread, now that I have the Iphone 6 Plus I can't use this custom mount

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

dpirch531 · 12-17-2011, 04:40 PM

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.
