Don't slam my ****ing door!!!! I found the two rattles the car has, I dont want more!! lol. Also careful opening it next to other cars, I am one to park far away from people because in the first two weeks of having the car someone opened their door and scraped my driver side, now when I have to park next to someone, when we get to the car I have my GF stop and examine my door before we leave the parking lot lol....she hates my car. But you know what, I am not paying more money to fix damage again because of some low life **** that cant leave other peoples property alone.

I don't see why haters who key the car hasn't been mentioned yet... luckily that hasn't happened to me (but there's a new thread about getting keyed every couple days ).
Personally, I hate rock chips, bottoming out, curbed rims, brake dust, people closing the passenger door by the glass, and those underperforming RE040 tires...

I alsp hate it when people park all on top of my Z...even if I park in the last space in the furthest spot from the store, someone parks on the line between us. One day I will have a ding. For now, I take down license ##"s too.

What good will that do?

Just because a car was parked next to you when you come out of the store, work or whatever, that doesn't mean that was the car that dinged your door.

I hate it when your window is fogged up and it always turns out that its a girl with you, and she just thinks it is so fun to write s*** on the glass. And i have advice for everyone. When someone parks too close to my car, i have these paint markers that are hard as hell to wash off. I write them a nice message on their window. "Learn how to park *****" is usually how it goes.

Color match...I write down the tag and color parked next to me. If it's a different color car when I come out I check my side. If there every should be a dingand it doesn't match that car then it was the first car. My little game.

I look for BMW's, Mercedes, or other sport cars to park near if I have to park where there are cars.

How about putting your windows down after you wash your car and they come up all wet again!? Always happens when I wash it and then put the top down.

How about the damn auto up feature of the drivers side window. I dont mind auto up or auto down, but if your going to make an auto up feature, how's about tossing in a "stay closed" window feature. Whats the sense of auto up if it rolls back down 2-3 inches?
If anyone knows how to disable the feature, please share!

My ultimate Pet Peeve is shopping carts. I parked my Z always away from cars, usually 10-15 parking spots. At least 2 times, I had shopping carts go in front of the car and on the side of the car. Granted wind might of pushed the cart my way, but there are lots to return the shopping cart. Worst of all, the ghetto Walmart I go to, a sea of shopping carts. They outnumber cars by 3-to 1, I guess the manager don't care, so do the shoppers.

You should prepare some in-car-sickness bags in your car too...

Don't hate on the 8 year old! He is a future Z owner. The Z is his first love and the only one that won't let him down.
