Any automatic Z owners walk out their car in Drive or Reverse?

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-31-2013, 08:59 AM

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.

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.

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

double, triple, quadtroople check to make sure your car or "vehicle" is firmly stationary before exiting.
