I immediately took off my undershirt and wiped everything down, cranked up the heat/AC on recycle, and sat in my car for the remainder of my 1 hour lunch.

Seats are still a little moist, and so are my eyes.. and so are my pants..

I hate to laugh, but I am.

I'm going to have to watch out for that silly feature in the future, a lot of people seem to accidentally roll down their windows!

Got my f1 exhaust Tuesday car sounds great now but feels like I need to push the car harder to get her to move , just a tad bit sluggish it seems in low end.

I had one chuckle before realizing that I'm the kind of person to accidentally do something like that and how much it would suck

I have never rolled the windows down on accident, but I have set the horn off more times that I can count... sitting on the fob in my office chair, leaning up against a counter, and even reaching into the hatch with my pocket pushing on the rear bumper

I just got done giving her a good washing, hopefully so I can make it out to Cars & Coffee this Sunday. I only did one layer of wax last time and had planned to give her another coat today, but I ran out of daylight. F'n daylight savings time

I'm really sorry for your misfortune. I had to chuckle cause that's the **** that happens to me. I've done my fair share of damp pants.
All the best,
Scott

I was on a teleconference last year and one of my colleagues says -- hey your windows are down. I must have been sitting on my fob and the car was close enough to my office that I rolled them down. It was a friggin rainstorm that day and my car was very wet. It took a while to dry out -- like days. Everything will be fine.

I watched it from my garage as rain poured down on it while i worked on my gsxr.

JARblue · 12-01-2012, 09:27 AM

Washed yesterday and then I had to park under a poop tree on the street all night cause some a$$hat parked in the middle of a two parking space metered curb cut around the corner from my buddy's condo downtown

I did leave them a note. "WTF kind of parking is this. F'n douche. Have some courtesy and learn to park, you a$$hat" I should have gotten a picture...

You guys must have the SECRET SPECIAL version FOB that rolls down windows. Mine HAS NEVER done it (2009 model). Three buttons, lock, unlock & alarm, that's it, no window button. Many times I have set off the alarm or locked the car with the fob in my pocket when washing the car and squating and such. After a few scars of the alarm going off I now make it a practice to leave the keys on the bench in garage. Sorry to hear of these mishaps hopefully no water stains on the fabric.

I paid extra to get the double-sensitive version of the fob -- so I would have something to do when the windows go down -- seemingly by magic.

there's is not a window button you just have to hold down the unlock button and the windows will roll down....

I remember my 350z came with a feature when holding down the unlock for a long time the window would go down. I got ripped with the 370z since it was standard equipment on the 350z.
