Default Is "3" good luck to the Japanese?

Just wondering. Everything is in 3's on the Z. There are three "notches" on the Z emblems, the front marker lights, each spoke of the 06 track wheels, on the pasenger door handle, dash pod guages, AC controls, etc, etc.

Anybody else notice this?

I believe 6 or 8 is considered lucky by the Japanese. Then again, it may be the Chinese that consider 6 or 8 to be lucky.

Drove home from work--the vents on the corners of the das have 3 holes, the instrument cluster has 3 circles, the vents in the doors have 3 slits with 3 gripper bumps. The dash hole button has 3 dimples on it. The side mirror has 3 slats to the inside part next to the mirror. It has 3 windshield wipers. I just wonder how deep it goes!!! 3.5 liter--5 is the mirror image of gues what.................3!!!

#3 has nothing to do with luck in Japanese. The 3 dot are the symbol for the Z haritage: past, present, and future. The legend of Z cars from the past, the current Z that embodied those legend, and the future Z that will nothing less than its legend.
