FWIW, I've had the Z for 4 years and have never changed the wiper blades or added washer fluid
I don't even know if the pump works
You can tell what kinds of weather it sees...

Washer fluid's probably still good, tires have been feeling alittle slippery though.
I've only used the fluid once. About 10 years ago I gave it alittle squirt to see if the pump still worked.

Here's one engineering/design thing that bugs me the most. PUTTING THE FREAKEN GAS TANK DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE! How convenient. Make us go around the car to pump gas. My old sn95 mustang was like that and i hated it. Good thing they put it on driver side on the sn197's.

THat pisses me off, I wish they would just standardize that and put it on the drivers side on every car.
GTO being the exception, because in some countries it is on the drivers side
velcro interior peices to the body
why cant you just get a screw and a nice little plug for it...so they dont seperate all the time..by rear panel I mean the one in the back seat area where the speaker is..if you open my door you can see it seperates the velcro cant hold it, I have seen a few more like that too.

Besides....walking the extra 10 ft might do us all some good.

More and more automatics are coming from the factory this way. They found it's less hassle and less cost overall to make slushboxes "maintenance free".
Re: DUMB vehicle engineering choices...
The 4T45E on N bodies, J bodies, Delta and Epsilon platform cars is the same way...I hate it
I'd like to at least see what the hell my fluid looks like!!!
That reminds me...I can't remember the last time I checked the GP...that's assuming I can anyway!

That happens because the panel warps and then doesn't fit properly. I bougth a decently clean panel from a junkyard and fixed that annoying problem.
