Stupid Things You've Done in Your Z

I'd say most embarrasing When I first got the car, it was the first one I had driven where you had to push down to get it into reverse. So

I'd say most embarrasing

When I first got the car, it was the first one I had driven where you had to push down to get it into reverse.

So I got the car home from the dealership and tried to put it in my parking spot, couldn't reverse lol. Kept trying for a few minutes, didn't want to break the shifter...so I put it in Neutral and pushed it into the spot.

That night I called my buddy....and he proceeded to laugh his azz off for about 15 minutes...and explained to me how to get it into reverse.

at least that was day one

And those ignition button moments are too funny! Seems like the red GTR start button mod is already not good enough to prevent you folks to push that button carelessly. You ignition button folks need to upgrade to this mod...
