Finally Home In my New Car

I've never understood the mentality of not reading the directions. Considering how much these cars cost and how complex they are, it doesn't make sense not to. There's a lot of cool little things in there. And if you get the nav, you pretty much have to read the book to figure out how everything works. Granted, this is coming from the guy who tosses out the instructions on IKEA furniture and looks at it as a personal challenge to figure out how to put it together without them.

I see where you're coming from Chuck.

(taking it back to Psych 201 and Econ 201 here....sorry guys lol) I think we all look at certain things from a macro perspective. The complexity of cars matters more to some than others. When you have comsumers whom look at certain things from a "check the block" perspective (like me ) they will figuratively "fire and forget" things.

When you have your concerning consumers (like yourself) they will take into account all aspects/values/complexities/reviews/concerns/etc of things. It just depends on what you want.

Now as I digress away from the technical, personally the Z car for me was not so much of a big deal, because my dream car is a 2004 Dodge Viper. That would be my "read the manual front-to-back" vehicle. (Braces self in preparation of being pelted with more rotten produce.....) The Z was what I got so I could out-do the guy who beat me to the Army base every day before I deployed. I spent my time in Iraq thinking, "how can I beat that 350Z?"
