Smile Thanks for parking so close! funny story!

Ok, so i just finished my chemistry final and im looking forward to hopping in my z to head home. So i walk to my car in the parking garage and what do i see!!! a chevy suburban parked so close to my drivers door i couldnt get into the car!! Im 6,2 300 lbs, sooo im not going to pull some crazy jackie chan moves to hop in, BUT! i did remember something that i learned here on the forum, I opened to window via the key hole and then reacehd in to take off the ebrake and put it in neutral. Then i grabbed the b pillar and started pulling my car out of the parking spot via the passenger side. let me tell you she is a PIG!! , anyways 2 minutes later my z was smack in the middle of the parking lot and my peers watched as i hopped in started her up and leave as if nothing had ever happened!! ****ing love my Z!!

just another tip: you can open your windows by pressing and holding down the unlock button...good maneuver, though.

No ****?!??!, I'm going to have to try it today and see if I can do a "dukes of hazzard" move. Thanks for the tip.

Or is that only for roadsters?

I would have left that Mickey Mouse paper on the vehicle. The one that shows Mickey shooting the middle finger, and saying, I hope you don't park like you ****, you would never get it out!

Would've been tragically funny if you didn't realize you were parked on a slight slope. At first it would've been hard to move the car, then you'd be like "hey, it's getting easier! ..........."

I guess you're too big to get into the driver seat from the passenger seat. No disrespect intended.

Auto shift lock: unless your foot is pressing the brake pedal, the shift lever is
"locked" in Park position with a solenoid...there is a keyhole on the console to
open the solenoid lock, so the lever can move out of Park and the car can be
pushed....its a safety thing.
