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

EazyD · 12-17-2011, 12:13 AM

Have you or your passenger dropped a cellphone between the seat and center console?

IT'S THE WORST.

shaun66 · 12-17-2011, 12:17 AM

Hate it.

cc370z · 12-17-2011, 12:54 AM

Yeah that sucks.... And our seats move forward sooooo slow!

jaedub · 12-17-2011, 01:46 AM

Yes, I had to move my seat to retrieve it and once I try to adjust the seat back.......it just doesnt seem right

mantella87 · 12-17-2011, 01:49 AM

Yeah I hate when something falls out of my pockets. I thought it was bad in my RX-8, in this car I have to get out and bend my arm in unnatural ways.

Yeah def does suck. Looks like its time to invest in a phone mount.

happens too often but the only cure is to use a late '80s style cell phone

Lemers · 12-17-2011, 08:54 AM

Hate it, but at least we have Bluetooth and can still make and answer calls.

MB_Z · 12-17-2011, 08:58 AM

i call that the dark abyss down there. no way to get it back without moving your seats and in a base its the worst trying to find your driving position again and again and again

happytheman · 12-17-2011, 09:25 AM

Yup, I think we've all done it. I have to remove my watch to jam my hand under the seat. Otherwise I'm sure to scratch it. I've never had seats this low before! I'm not complaining...I think it's kinda funny!

Spikuh · 12-17-2011, 10:30 AM

Did this a couple times because I'm used to holding it in my lap. I just put mine in the cup holder now. It doubles as my change holder too.

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.

It doesn't happen to me anymore, got the phone holder (ProClip) mounted on the driver's side pillar. The phone is right in front of you. Just put it on speaker and you're all set.

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...
