Oh, another confession! When I actually do put it in full auto mode, I really wish the gear selector would still tell me what gear I'm in. This lack of knowledge is fine in my other car, but the Z lets me interrupt full auto and command it to shift. It'd help if I knew my bearings first! Either play it safe and shift down once for a really impotent passing moment (hi fifth gear, I don't need you!), or double-tap and go down further than expected for a "I wasn't revving at you, sorry!" moment. Thankfully, the auto wants to basically get to 6th as soon as it possibly can and stay there, so you can usually assume 6th. (This is part of why I rarely use the auto...I would like to hear my pet purr, thank you.)

Back on topic for the off-topic topic: Most things "car related" will impress and attract attention from guys more than women. Just sayin... It's right up there with video game knowledge/skills.

Eh... not really.

I don't think that's on my list at all.
