I just realized this thread should've been the most appropriate regret thread among all - "Does any automatic Z owners regret walk out their car in Drive or Reverse???":bowrofl::roflpuke2: I am glad OP didn't open another "Car won't start" thread(because it's in drive gear) to confuse us with the steering lock failure issue.:tup: |
Some of you "Mr. perfect in life" have jokes. No, i am not a new driver. Yes i drove manual cars before and motorcycles. No, the car doesn't run away by itself bc the engine is off. Yes, Fl is flat mostly so the car doesn't move even left in gear. Yes, it happens mostly on hectic days from office to office.... hope i answered everything.
I understand this is a forum. But hey, if it helps to boost your self esteems or cover your insecurities by being the butt of the joke...glad i can help :icon23: |

I think what stops most people from doing this is when you apply the brakes to stop the car, it's reflex to put it in park so it doesn't start moving again, not shutting the car off to achieve this and leaving it in D. Years of driving manual will condition you the other way. |

I remember one of the originals - the Trans Am and the guy handing onto the spoiler. Don't think that failed though. |

On Thursday, there was a story in the Tx local news where a guy did exactly what this thread is about and his car hit a neighbors home destroying the whole front entrance leaving thousands in damage... Excelleeennnt!!!!
If you forget to put your car in park and/or shut it off,causing damage to anything or anyone? That's like accidentally pulling out a gun and letting off one shot into a crowd. Your license should be revoked. |

About 25 years ago I went to a local strip joint with some buddies. Was driving my parent's car. Don't even think I was old enough to drink yet, but ofcourse I had been. At the end of the night I came out and the car was not where I parked it. I thought "Oh Sh*t, someone stole my Dad's car. Explaining this isn't going to go over very well." After a couple minutes of freaking out I noticed the car was about 50 yards down the parking lot in the weeds. I had left it in drive and the parking lot had a pretty good slope to it. No damage... needless to say I was very relieved.

My Wife looks at me and just recites "Really" a few times. I do it to her car all the time. I don't put my Z in gear when I park unless its an incline/decline. I do to her car, rentals, idk. Head space and timing error. I hate forgetting to pull my ebrake when I park and she starts rolling. It never starts rolling when I'm still in it of course, after I take a step out. When someone else moves my car, they throw it in first, so when I start it, I release the clutch and the f'n car jumps. Pisses me off, luckily I always start with my foot on the brake.

This has never happened to me ... not once.

Ok let me spell it out for you, I am very used to just turning off the keys (push start) bc of manual cars and motorcycles! Did you fail grammar and comprehension school? And for the post that had the accident flying into someone's house.... I seriously doubt my car will do that in any gear with the engine off. And you sir is a retard too for the ludicris comparison Man... Can't believe this silly thread of making fun of my own habits turned into a complete douchebaggery from some 'perfect Mona Lisa' forum members. Don't worry, we won't judge your insecurities. Let it all out on the Internet big guy! |
I have some pretty bad gas atm. We went to a brunch buffet this morning and I must have created a time bomb by mixing coffee, tenderloin, and about a thousand pastries.
Carry on |

:confused: why isn't this locked yet

Let me try to beak this down because there's clearly miscommunication here...

Also, regarding your habits. It may never come down to destroying someone else's house. It's a drastic scenario. But what did you really think was going to happen? A bunch of people are going to tell you it's perfectly normal and it's fine to continue doing it? No, you're putting yourself in a bad situation by not correcting your driving habits and we're making sure you know it's not ok. Just because you think something won't happen doesn't make it not happen. By continuing to "accidently" leave the car in gear on a weekly basis you're allowing the possibility that the car is going to get away from you. It just needs to happen once. Quote:
I would also call you a retard to your face if we met on the street because everything you're saying is retarded. I don't know how you extrapolated the whole "in mom's basement" stereotype from but I can only assume you're speaking from experience. Clearly you're the kid in mom's basement trolling forums because you're the only one here making ridiculous comments without ever really knowing what you're talking about. Personally I'm only subscribed to this forum and I've met many of the Z drivers in the area, if they made a comment as stupid as you I would be the first to let them know. Today, it's just you. |
