No homelink in a 43k car. Thanks Nissan. Oh, you can get it with a $790 mirror or tech package.

I am sure the list will grow but I will improve upon what I find.
what package did the homelink come with? my 2010 touring w/ sport package has the homelink mirror.

In mirror rear view monitor or the tech package. This is for the 2015 Nismo. I am guessing you have the homelink because of the touring package which I believe is the same thing as the tech package as far as nav and electronics.

I went to the grocery store today and discovered another item to add to the list. The trunk volume is too freaking small.

3. you get a 370Z to complain about mpg? really dude?
4. clearly you're "not the copetitive (sic) type at all".
5. the last part of the thread cracked me up. you state that you hope there's others like you "who dont want to waste their engines dusting sh*tty cars", yet you sped up, got one car length ahead and into his lane, and dusted "his azz". (and btw, if you only got 1 car length ahead after full WOT throttle, you didn't exactly "dust" him.)
6. other sports cars don't act like jack@$$e$ because they don't care what other people think. if you're going to compare yourself to other sports cars who don't act up on public roads, what does that make you?
7. i know one day, the 370Z will become civic status, but after reading this otherwise b*tch fest thread, it's probably gonna be sooner than later. perhaps you should go back to your civic lx, at least then, you don't have to worry about mpg nor about your car being slow.
Arent 370Z's faster than civics?

Depends on the V8 and the location. It's always about location right?

So I'm pulling up to a red light near my home a few weeks ago, downshifting with the match rev as I usually do. Had no idea some dude in a Cobra was pulling up next to me and I guess the matchrev got him a bit too excited. Light tunrs green we cruise to 2nd gear, Then he decides IT'S GO TIME! Stomps his gas petal and his rear broke completely lose sending him fish tailing into my lane side ways towards to center concrete median, nails it with his front end (im assuming his front bumper took a beating) somehow he bounces off the median (probably not the best way of describing it, but just go with it) straightens back up and keeps driving like nothing ever happened.

I was in shock. I thought it was hilarious but felt super bad for the car. Just really thankful he didn't take me out.

This is so sad and hilarious at the same time. Dude just drove off like nothing happened. He probably felt like the biggest ***.

Doesn't matter what car you drive. People around you are going to drive like idiots. With the Z for some reason, there are toolbags out there that feel the need to "challenge" you when you're just trying to drive home from work. Best advice I can give is to ignore them. If they're a real car enthusiast, they'll wave or give a thumbs up. If they're talking shyt, well...anyone can talk shyt. Just the other day I had a repair man come in to fix by boiler. He said nice car and asked how much hp it had. I told him 332 and he said "that's it?!"...my Chrysler 300 has 380hp...I got a chip installed. I thought those things were a lot faster." I could have told him a lot of things about what makes for a fast car, but it's all a bit silly and pointless. He obviously knew very little about cars other than what he read in the brochures and magazines. The same goes for a lot of idiots out there who think they have RACECAR because loud exhaust! Next time, turn your camera phone on for video, rev at the red light and watch these morons look like idiots.
