humm... did you know that most cars have an arrowhead next to the fuel icon in the cluster showing which side the fuel door is located?

Mostly American and American-built cars have the gas door on the driver's side -- less walking for us lazy-azz folks to get from the door to the gas filler. The right side to have it is on the passenger side -- away from the driver. When you pull up to the pump, you do not run the risk of hitting the driver's door on anything.

My son Colin says that cars either fuel on the right side or the wrong side.

OP: When you pull up to the pump, make sure you park on the left side of it.

105. Your mother pointed the bird poop landed on your Z and reminds you to wash your car

Apparently, mom loves my Z too, she was disappointed I bought a stick, again

102. You asked your gf to spit out her chewing gum so you can use it to pick up specks of dust settling on your shift boot.

Not sure what you're thinking of but I used her gum to clean the dust out of my shift boot, I didn't have a napkin on hand and those tiny particles are hard to pick up with my fat fingers!

101. You have various microfiber towels that live in your Z for particular polishing /shining needs.

Or if you are as much of psycho as me - carry a small roll of padding which I drape over any part of the car that could potentially incur a scratch - ie some parking situations.

When I choose to drive a 2004 Honda 4/5 days just to truly savior getting back in the Z for the weekend.

103. You still bump your head getting in or out of your Z occasionally.

You smash on the gas pedal and you get a 10 second delay before the power comes in.

That's odd. I thought that all the blacked out parts you have would have cured your throttle-lag. Go figure.

So adding both sprint booster & pulley doesn't get rid of your throttle lag?
