^Damn Jose. That chrome looks REAL good painted black.

Anyways... lol, no. I haven't done that. But I do always turn the stereo off before I turn off the car. Does that count?

Erm.......no.

I do, however, try and start all other cars by pushing their non-existent buttons...or opening their doors that way...

Hey, sorry to thread-jack, but does anyone else find this frustrating:You turn the car off with the push of a button, lock the doors with a similar push of a button, walk to your front door with arms full of groceries...then realize you've left your damn keys in your pocket and have to go fishing for them in order to open your front door!!! I wish my house had a FOB........

One time i was waiting at a stop light and i was thinking about something else, and i wanted to turn off the radio and i turned off the car.

Was like Opps and the light turned green, i believe i had to put it back into park before it owuld start back up. hehe

Slightly off topic, but I find myself pressing the "off" button on the AC to turn it "on" instead of turning the dial. Im so used to push on push off that, turning the knob is not my first reaction.

funny, the only time i really ever do it , is when i am distracted talking to someone,

I think i have actually hit the 'climate off' button a time or two as well

I am tall and can't see the engine button from my seat, because of the way i have the seat/steering column

Glad i am not the only one tho

sounds like you need new friends LOL.. I use to have a few buddys I rode with when i first started riding motorcycles... They liked to get super close to you at a redlight or coming to a stop, while proceeding to reach over and cut off your bike!.. scary the first time, but it keeps you on your toes to be prepared for ANYTHING that can happen lol. one was a bit mroe malicious to a closer friend of mine, and they actually took his key out and tossed it on the side of the road (apparently he made the wrong person mad lol!)

back on topic.. I do tend to go for a button a LOT in other cars, I wish my bike had it even. I work at a rental car place, and find myself going to push buttons half the time I go to pull a car up (which isnt that often anyways)

I didn't ever mistake it lol. I always leave my radio on tho, I never nurn it off. I'm so used to pressing on the break and pushing start in my car that when I drive everyone elses car I feel like a retard. I was driving my friends CLS 550 AMG the other day and it was annoying cause I had to take the key out of my pocket to open and turn on the car,

ohhh yes the suffering we must endure to be able to drive quite possibly one of the most gorgeous cars ever made. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson the CLS is "epic"
