I can't believe a Z driver posted this
I found this on another Zcar forum. After 6 months of driving the Z and this?? I just feel like laughing so hard.

ok, I have a 2003 touring... no problems for 6 months... today after lunch the ignition is locked and I can't turn it on. I wait.. lock / unlock multiple times...no dice....wait more lock/unlock jiggle key.... whatever... no dice..
So I get a coworker to pick me up....get back to the office and call into nissan.. the dude tells me its an anti theft deal..... here is the fix
With your left hand apply foward and upward force to the steering wheel (not center, rim) at 12:00 high and try to rock it back and forth while jiggling key with right hand.....
So I bum another ride and go back to the car and it works....my beef is why didnt anyone tell me this earlier... what if I was out in the middle of bumbleFock or out boozing at night after the dealer was closed???? Let my pain in the azzz be your learning experience

Sorry to bring this back up, but I wonder if this is the same guy that took over an hour to get his car out of the parking space in San Francisco ... 
I think this line from "Ruthless People" pretty much sums it up: This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the earth!

haha, thats funny, but I wont laugh too much... cause when I first started driving in my first car it happened and I thought it was broken...
even still sometimes when it happens it takes me a second to remember.

The funny part is, he called his coworker (with his cell phone/pay phone) to pick him up and he called Nissan at his office and then go back to the car (wtf?). Why didn't he just ask his coworker to check the number off the internet so that he can call from there?

this isnt the same thing but
i was in my garage one night and i was going to check the feathering on my tires so i turned the wheel all the way to the left so i could see a full view of the tire..next thing i knew was i heard a click and the damn steering wheel locked up column and everything i guess i put the wheel in a bind from turning all the way . anyway i couldnt get it to unlock for anything finally after about 10 minutes of messing with it ...it unlocked i thought i had broke it as much as i was trying to get it to unlock... see it was locked with the wheels turned all the way left.

Yeah, I NEVER get my blinker fluid from the dealer, they'll rip you off on it every time!
I get mine from an online performance shop. It's synthetic! It costs a little bit more but they tell me it'll make my blinkers last a lot longer and light up brighter!

The part I liked (not) was the following...
What if I was out in the middle of bumbleFock or out boozing at night after the dealer was closed????
Boozing and driving. We can only hope he eventually is the receipient of the Darwin award.
