I don't think I can safely drive the Z with that fuel-filler door out of whack like that.

Yeah, a mis-aligned fuel-filler door cover is a serious bug isn't it? I mean ****, we better get a class-action lawsuit together to get our cars fixed.

I agree. The wind turbulence created by the fuel-filler lid is making me lose downforce at over 400 mph. It is quite unsafe.

400 mph!!! I am only hitting 350 mph and then I feel a little floating going on.
My vin is number 361 and I have no problems with the fuel door. I is a touring 6MT Lemans Sunset.

People don't get sarcastic because you like a car so much that you are not willing to admit its defects, that is to be blind to the true. Search this board and you will find at least 10 bugs in the car already like, trans, dash, doors kickback, ecu,diferentail, problem with the shifter. If you car have no problems good for you, but i feel sad for the other people that have problems with the car already. Its a fact that second years of production are better than the first.
I'll be the first person to admit the flaws in this car. It doesn't mean that I don't like it though. Just having a little bit of fun with the responses.
Your advice is good advice and is quite valid, but your post kind of sounded like you were admonishing owners who bought early. We are all adults here and know the risks of buying a first-year car.

"That is why you should never buy the first year of production." The people on this board obviously feel it is worth working through a few bugs to have the new hot car on the streets. Maybe you should wait two years and they will work out even more bugs... or three years!

POWERZ you most be a close minded person. You basically wasting time making non productive comments instead of helping the guy look for a solution. Why instead don't you recomend that the people with that problem " gas cap cover a little out of alignment " , to take to the dealer to be fix under the warranty. If you are paying for something, you just don't have to take as is. Or suggest the guy to inspect the hinges or look for any parts that look bend or out of shape, if something is wrong with the car the dealer has to fix it.
And yes sometimes it takes 3 or more years to get a car right.
By all means if you like it crooked, keep it, is your car.
IMO people in this board are looking for knowledge and solutions.
Already i wasted to much time answering yours silly comments.

You tell the guys with problems that they shouldn't have bought the car. Way to help with fixing the problems.
Again, take your hypocritical motherly advice elsewhere.

You obviously lack a strong command of the english language. You DID say you should not buy the car as it is in the first production year. And I have never once, directly or indirectly said anything about keeping the gas cap the way it is. Of course you should take it in to get fixed... It is under warranty - why wouldn't you?
I posted in this thread originally to support those who chose to buy a Z this year rather than wait like you suggested. I have done that, so I am done posting here. Feel free to PM me if you feel like discussing this further.

Hello peeps, I was just wondering if anyone's headlights get fogged up from time to time. Im not worried about it now, but im thinking about the long run that it might stay hazy like the Supras, and Eclipses? Comments...?
