don't let the chick in your passanger seat spill sweet tea all over your seat and seat controls. Nothing will **** you off more than saying please don't spill that in my car and no more than a minute and a half later you have **** all over your seats. Now i have to play with my seats for 30 minutes to get them to move. Probably need electronic cleaner or something.

Don't get suckered into additional deals at the dealership. Extended warranty for only an extra $5/month? Ooookayyyyy

Now I'm going

When you first buy a new car, DO NOT park near anybody or else a Chinese lady will forget to set her parking brake and let her car do this to yours:

Oh yeah, don't buy additional warranty if you still have manufacturer's warranty

Dont live on a street where giant lesbian german bitches like to get drugged up and take their dog to the beach at 7:30 in the morning and fall asleep at the wheel.

Also make sure that your car is blocking the route from the road to your room (which is pointless if she is driving an old E-class).

i don't know if this has been added to this thread

the drink holders are crap. have a locking cap on your drink since drinks tip easily on the center console. I found out the hard way and took a sharp turn and spilled my drink on the passenger seat.

Blck350z that is a sad but funny story. My old S2000 would start that way too it was nice having that push start but didn't make sense that you had to also put the key in and turn it first before pushing the button.

Anyway my piece of advice is you get what you pay for. Just like the post above don't buy cheap junk. Nothing on my Z was cheap until i decided to try out one of those ebay y pipes. 52.00 shipped. Well the outlet flange wouldn't bolt up perfectly flush with my RSR. The company sent me another one for free. Well same exact thing!

Instead look for great deals on quality parts. I just purchased a Stillen Y pipe 100.00 off! They have them on their site for 186.00 regular price is 286.00 Plus I got 25.00 in stillen dollars. Putting that extra toward some redline synthetic motor oil woo hoo.

My biggest mistakes

1. Forgot to put my car in gear plus e-brake was down my car rolled down the drive way & was out in the middle of the road for maybe an hour.

2. Going to fast around a turn road wet and cold I spun out & before I knew it I was going left of center I was then turning the steering wheel all the way to the right to gain back control but soon as my tires got traction back my car shot way over to right side of the road almost hitting the curb. LUCKY VERY LUCKY my base 350z was ok.

Common

1. People will ask you to do burnouts.
2. Don't show off like this guy.

Lesson: be completely sure of any body work you do to your car.
I second that. Especially if you sell your vehicle and someone has to go and fix the things you f'ed up
Not knocking you, cubs, lol, just referring to my previous owner. see my photo album :\

Do you mind if I borrow that and put it on my refrigerator for future reference?

DO NOT LET GYPSIES USE WATER COLORS ON YOUR WINDOWS!
I took my car to get it removed at a car wash and the water color paint flaked off ALL over my car. Clay bar and some wax later it was fine but it was definetly a lesson learned.

Lesson #2: wash your own car.
