Real men don't use brakes.


If I need to come to a quick stop from 80mph, I shift into 1st.

blind spot windows are useless,

i didnt agree with the key hole on the driver door. i use it almost everyday.... to close or open the windows. i have an 08 so i have 6 cup holders, idk why i have 6 seeing the car only fits 2 comfortly so i guess that would be a useless thing. the trunk release is stupid..... if you lock someone in the trunk they can just crawl to the front. BRAKEs are for babys lol and the blind spot side windows suckk if anything they would cause the accident. but I love the car even with the useless things.

Surprised there isn't more venom against the little "storage compartment" in the door next to the cup-holders.

I've found reverse to be more effective for this. The rear end of an Escalade usually does the trick as well.

Open the windows with the key fob. No need to put the key in

Sly devil you!!

I've never let anyone eat or drink or smoke in any of my vehicles. To hell with that!!

As far as the features that you guys are complaining about.

Trunk cord is mandatory in case say a child or you get locked or stuffed into the trunk and cannot get out.

Key hole is needed when yes batt dies on remote and or the car itself.
(although its very easy to break into a Z)

The cup holder is a waste only because if any driver were to use it i believe its a lil to far away.

(03-05) Where they put the stupid Lighter Plug, wtf were they thinking?

Definitely the window lock...what the hell? That's only slightly useful when you have some annoying kids in the backseat of your huge SUV and need to keep those suckers from playing with the window. When would I ever need that in my 2 seater car?

Another useless thing....
I have owned my car since I bought it new in 2006, and I didn't discover this one until a month ago. You can clean the rear window by pushing the windshield wiper stick forward. I had no idea you could do that (I knew about the front windshield duh) and I have no idea about when I would get a bunch of **** on my back window and need to clean it off going down the road.

Also,
I do not understand why if you hold down the unlock button, the windows roll down. Has that ever been useful? No.

haha, I'd say the side cup holders on the driver and passenger door, you can't even fit cups in those!

I use that power plug for my cell phone charger
