Default Did you ever do this with your Z?

Several times when I was in a hurry , I have jumped in my Z, pushed in the clutch and pushed the radio button to start the car.

I have jammed my fingers a few times when trying to use a detail spray and micro fiber towel to get up underneath the rear spoiler. There are a couple of tight little places up in there.

I have also had a hard time pressing the right sequence of the 2 buttons when a maintenance message pops up for an oil change etc. in order to re-set them

nope- never done the radio thing.
I also have no spoiler.
I don't use the maintence stuff. I use windshield stickers.

Nope. ive never pushed the radio button instead of my start button either.
Spoiler is a pain to clean at times
No problem with the buttons

Haven't done the radio instead of push start but I have done the radio instead of AC control since with NAV they are the same size lol

No, No and No. But I often have this moment when I saw an incoming z and trying to stick out a peace sign but forgot the window is not rolled down. Ouch...

No, no and no.

My radio was almost always off when I turn my car off. I try to be gentle, slow on the car and not rush cleaning/wiping. I've never had to reset my reminders yet, but that menu in general is a PITA to remember.

1) No. Solution = plan ahead so you're not in a rush.

2) No. Solution = don't be a tool, use the right tool.

3) Okay you got me on this one...my line of sight to these buttons is directly blocked by my steering wheel position so I can't see the little symbols on the buttons. I guess wrong about 90% of the time so I just avoid changing that display at all cost. I set that MFD to the outside temp and I use the NAV for the maintanance reminders and realtime MPG junk. Only touch those buttons twice a year now to change the time on the stupid triple gauge.

You need to slow down. Just take a deep breath. It'll all be ok.

I'm too old to be jumping in and out of the Z fast enough to think the radio button is the starter lol. I have a couple pairs of microfiber gloves for working around the spoiler area and other hard to reach spots. Works great for me and is easy to remove polish/wax from those hard to reach areas. I haven't had to try and turn off the oil change warning but i'm sure I will curse a couple of times trying to clear it the first time.

Nope.

But I do catch myself reaching to hit the Start button when I want to mute. There should've been a mute button on the steering wheel controls.

I threw a wine cooler against my Z28 window once. It was up.
Does that count?
