- Traffic. I get stuck in traffic for up to 45 minutes sometimes going 10 mph. Those times I wish for a metro (subway) ride.
- Parallel parking on a hill in a DC neighborhood sucks @ss. At those times I wish for an automatic.
- Going to the store to get some eggs when visiting my parents. They live in a small town and taking it to the grocery store makes me stick out like a sore thumb.
- Tire feathering
- Paying that dog gone car note

But in all – I love my Z.

Oh by the way, I am new and I have a 2003 Z - performance trim. Hello everybody.

 

WTF
are you serious?
your Z caused traffic?
you bought your Z with 6MT and didnt choose the 5AT?
you can goto the dealer and get tire feathering fixed

 

Wow why so dramatic? It was meant half as a joke and half as a “hello world”*? Why not take that stick out of your @ss and lighten up. Your post does bring up a question why get a Japanese sports car w/ an automatic? If you want an automatic, you should not be driving a sports car in the first place.

* Programmer’s humor – don’t let it bend you out of shape.

 

yeah and im a firm believer of sports car with real clutch stick shifts!
read my posts in the "badgering" thread
imo ur post was like "i bought the Z and i hate its guts"
hahaha

 

Well its official, my first post on this board was a dud. Funny your Nova wildcats whipped up on my W&M Tribe last week. Ended our dreams of a post season. Now that really sucks.

 

Welcome aboard Tony, don't pay any attention to Vanquish, he's just a child.....
I changed his diaper this morning but he still seems a little irratable...
The boy seems to know everything for his 20 long years on this earth....
I don't think he can even legally tilt one back yet but maybe that'll straighten him out...

 

i hate the little button that you push to open your storage compartment in the center counsil. when i am driving and resting my elbow it sometimes triggers that button on the storage lid opens....agh!!!! and it could use grippier tires, then again this is my first rw drive car so maybe i should just work on my driving as well. but these coments are deff. nothing to cry about, just little things i have noticed.

 

Glad I went with the Automatic! The tradeoff ("Automatic? Hahaha!") is worth it. A few of my friends have sportscars as well (Mercedes Benz, Hyundai, etc) that are all Automatic, so the jokes aren't that frequent. The only guy I get crap from drives a Neon that he had to custom order with a stick.

Can't be any worse that this...

Welcome tonystark. I caught the tongue-in-cheek humour in your post. (Maybe it's all a programmer's thing...)

Being in stop-and-go traffic in the Z is a killer--the car and I would rather be making like the proverbial bat-outta-hell down an open road.

Who in their right mind enjoys parallel parking on a hill? (Of course, I live on the prairie, so I'm way out of practice.)

And tire feathering...Nissan gave me new front tires and a free alignment, but, I hear it comes back so I'm waiting to see on that one. (Even if it does, I still love the car.) The main thing that confounds me about the whole car is the pop-out cup holder in front of the passenger seat. That's the lamest thing I've ever seen!

 

just wondering when was a hyundai a sports car? or did i read your post wrong?

 

The Hyundai Tiburon... an amazing 138hp (GS).
Hey, it *looks* like a sportscar, right? And, uh, that's what counts, right?

 

ARGH i have that SAME PROBLEM hahaha i just put my hand ontop of the shifter instead of holding it from the side and i havnt had that problem since

 

Ouch you hurt me
btw im a scholar so im supposed to know everything
kekeke
