Correct me if I'm wrong, but think that way back when, to start the car, you pulled out the choke lever, turned the key on and pressed the starter button mounted on the dash. My point is that the push button starting is not totally brand new. It was also done in the '30's and '40's.

he treats the car like **** because its a lease. he turns it on and revs the engine to 5k to warm it up in winter. so dumb, makes me angry.

I believe that the red GT-R button should be standard in the Z for in the case of an emergency it will standout as the logical button to push from the years of psychological norms we have been indoctrinated with throughout life.

I've been raised to believe that pushing red buttons result in missile launches (against commies).

Well, yes...back in the days when CD meant Civil Defense. Nowadays it just launches a 370Z through an unopened garage door.

I always just tap the button (but I read the manual before I bought the car :P ) and use the time to buckle up, turn on seat heater, etc. Sometimes if I'm fast though, I put it in Drive before it starts and it flips back to Accessory. I forget there's a limit to the multitasking.

and I'm finding that seniority often has its privileges. It's a nice time if you've carefully prepared for it.
