Isn't it neat when you find a cool new feature on your car?

Hey all,

Yesterday I took off my ghey ass seat covers (haven't taken em off since I bought it) and found out I have 300zx power seats in my 280zx

They have this nifty little switch that makes the area on the sides of your back squeeze together to hold you in tighter... pretty neat I say... I enjoy driving my car again

Anyone else found cool little things you didn't know your car had?

Double Cup Holders...
I thought this rental car I had a few weeks ago only had one (you pull it down out of the dash), but when it was down, I pushed this little button and another cupholder just slid out from underneath the first one. I was so amazed I almost ran a red light.

The only unexpected feature of my car is the fact that it is still in one piece

If you can sit sideways, you'd have an ab cruncher!

Words cannot describe the joy my friend had when I showed him that putting the key in the door of his Jetta and turning would cause all the windows to come down.

The first time I saw that was in the commercial. I had to try it out, so I went down the street and asked the neighbors if I could borrow thier keys....

I haven't talked to them since.

Yeah, me too. I got to play with it when I test drove a Golf GTI, though. Simple pleasures for simple minds!

I dunno, my seats are kinda old, so I think they came outta the '80s 300zx's only the drivers one has the squeezing thing, there was a switch on the passenger one, I flipped it while I was driving, and the seat flew forward... scared me :P

my prelude has a similar function that Grendel's has. the driver's seat has a knob on the right side of the seat that can be rotated to make the side bolsters move in or out. i thought that was quite neato.

Yea, I wish the passenger seat had it too... guess my passengers will just flop around when I take corners too fast

I found a B16a in the frount of my car.
then discovered that what I thought was a nice economical shopping cart runs 15s and out handles much much more exotic cars.


But one of my Ex's had a Celica with electric seats bolsters.

and the other had a later model Celica with an Automatic headlight thing in it, she didnt know what it was, and was most excited when I showed her.
