Those are all great ideas! Well, except the auto park.

:p

its in the same place as the 370z .............Gf has a 350z and i have to remember to hit the damn button for the gas door :tup:

:bowrofl: Dang Mr. Alcheng. I better watch out for the features I want. I have Nav, am I too stupid to read a map.

I use GPS on my phone too, thus I exclude that in my previous post... :bowrofl::bowrofl:

In other words, capless!

So it was cool in 2009 but today everyone hates it!

It's a solution to a non existent problem, just like the push button start. Things like this to awe the video game generation have unintended consequences. I am OK with the keyless entry but had Nissan stuck with a conventional arrangement to stick a key in an ignition switch we wouldn't have the stupid engineering of the steering lock that failed and wouldn't have a big wad of keys in our pockets or in the cup holder because they would be in the ignition where they worked pretty well for about the last 100 years.

Well look at the bright side -- if you drop your car keys you can push your Z around until it beeps and finds them for you. ;)

I have to disagree with this... I love not having to take my key out of my pocket.. and that you can start the car, lock it, and walk back in the house while its warming up..

So who elected you to speak on behalf of "everyone"? Not me and I enjoy my capless gas cap. Now get over yourself.:tup:

Ever lock your keys in any of your previous cars? How many times have you locked your keys in your Z?

I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd hear someone bitch about push button start.

Do you just hate science and technological advancement?

Do you hate cool?

Doesn't it also help prevent the ignition being punched and used with a screwdriver too?

:rolleyes:

While my Z lives in the garage, this is the reason I like have the same feature in my Altima, which lives outdoors. No need for an extra house key during cold weather. (Well, the couple weeks per year is is close to cold for SC.)

Stant was one of my clients. They're pretty much moved their operations from the US so I don't do much with them anymore. But here's the embroidery we did for this product when it was first launched.

Yay I have an ally!

Almost did it the other day. I typically do that with new cars. smh

I just bought a new Jeep and it still has a gas cap.........is that a fail? Not at all.

Well if it's a real jeep it kind of needs a fuel cap, as there is no fuel door.

You forgot one:

Synchro Rev Match: for those too stupid to blip the throttle on their own and don't know how to heel and toe.

:stirthepot: ;)

Actually try locking your keys in the car. The Z won't let you.

Motor Vehicles: For those too lazy to walk.

:stirthepot:

mmm.... an off-topic one...:

I for one, prefer a manual fuel cap. I feel more connected to the car when I fuel up. It requires me to do more work, but there're just something about it. I guess I just love the clicks with every turn. Some say it's a dying option and there's a learning curve, but it's an awesome experience when you finally get the clicks perfectly with every fill up. This automatic thing is pure garbage. It takes the fun out of filling up. Sure it's easier to use and learn, but where's the soul?

PS, Real men use gas caps. Cap less gas caps are for puss*es.

Must be a MT driver...

:bowrofl:
This just gets better and better!

One more:

Automatic Transmission: for those too stupid or too lazy to work a clutch and shift on their own.

This thread is epic

Manual transmission: For those who fear technology. :happydance:

Torque converter automatic with throttle blipping and paddles: For lazy posers who can't drive manual but want the sound and control of a manual/dct AND fear technology. :tup:

A quote from a buddy in racing regarding the 370Z MT vs AT:

"The new performance auto hands down. smokes the stick, no way you can shift as fast and reliable with a stick, more reliable – you don’t miss shifts, miss gears, slip the clutch. Will keep you from running out of talent in a corner. Only reason to have a stick is if you have a little stick and you want to pretend you don’t…"

"Will keep you from running out of talent in the corner"- care to elaborate? Last I checked, it takes more talent and skill to properly corner an MT car. Having the auto just makes it easier because it eliminates two "manual" variables". This all of a sudden gives an AT driver endless talent I suppose.

I also love the little stab at the end from this acclaimed "racing buddy" of yours. I've driven both, and yet I still own a manual. In my personal opinion, the auto doesn't give me the driving pleasure a manual does. Yes I sacrifice tenths of a second on the 1/4mile, but I gain unlimited satisfaction. Guess I have a little stick. I'll take that over a wannabe performance auto, also found in your nearest G/M/FX models.

Well said. :tiphat:

Yayyyyy!!! This thread will be closed sooooo quickly now

It was inevitable. Sorry I'm done though.

So yeah, capless gas caps.... ;)

The "keep you from running out of talent in the corner" means exactly what you said in your explanation. He's saying that someone with less talent, in an MT, could lose time/crash in a corner due to improperly shifting whereas you wouldn't with the AT.

Funny how AT/MT gets a huge discussion but not so much about other stuff like nav, paint, or rims.

Nav is for pu$$ies that can't read a map.

I like where this is going.

Hahaha!!!! I made a wrong turn in Tampa and ended up driving over a very long bridge, then having to drive back. I got my first GPS the next day. I can read maps, heck I read military maps since 1980. But they don't always tell you the lane you need to be in, and not all freeways are fun to get lost on. Got lost in Chicago, toll road fees ate me up. Made a wrong turn in Canada, ended up on a toll freeway with no transponder. The nav has more than paid for itself. Plus being able to find out where the next gas station is can be priceless.

I'm glad you don't like nav. Too many people liking it would push the price up! ;)
