350Z Seat Belts

I notice if you just up buckle the belt it flies right into the glass... and even puts little dents in the door.

anyone notice that?

I haven't used my seat belts yet. I hate seat belts. And after what you just posted, I'm afraid to try. If a state trooper is nearby though, I'll probably buckle up temporarily.

Man, I'm sorry to hear you say this. Wearing seatbelts because it's the law is a secondary point. It's a fact that your chances of dying or at the very least being seriously injured in an accident when not wearing seatbelts are very high. You must be young and think of yourself as invincible.

Your are absolutely right about the need for seat belts. In addition, if you are involved in a serious accident and your insurance company suspects that you were not buckled up, the company assumes no responsibility.

OK then, a middle-aged fatalist. It's your life I guess.

I have the air bag option 6 air bags. Unrestrained with air bag deployment, ouch! I hate it too, but it's the law here and they do ticket for it. It should be your right like Helmets but I prefer not to give the Law a reason to pull me over. You get used to it if you wear it, but it's your car and your life bro! Freedom to do whatever you want, just wondered if you had the air bag option?

But if I go through the window and find myself bleeding on the hood, I'll remember your post and say to myself, "I should have listened to Mark." heh heh.....

confinement".

Yes Paul, I have a 350Z Track with all 6 air bags. I have only owned the car three days now. Today, I drove over to my father's house and we removed the front license plate bracket and dealer emblem from the back of the car. It looks a lot better without them. I got the car up to 85 mph today and it was only taching 3000 rpm in 6th gear.

be your right

It will always tack that at 3000rpm's at that speed because of the gear ratio. A good poll of that was done at

I removed my front plate too even though it's illegal in California (some laws are just plain dumb.) I agree, I hate front plates and the car rocks! Mine has an ATI Super Charger on it and I just bought the 9 lb pulley's.

There was no front plate on mine (Southern California), and I don't think I will ever get sited for not having it. Yes, it is a law, but I don't think it is heavily enforced.

I started wearing seat belts religiously when the law first went into effect (after two tickets for not wearing one). I am at the point now where I feel completely uncomfortable without one. It makes me feel like I am part of the car, and that the car is more of an extension of me when I have a seatbelt on.

With all of the statistics out on seatbelt safety, I feel you are an idiot for not wearing one. It is an ignorant decision. You could easily die in a 30 MPH collision without a belt on ... or worse ... you could become paralyzed, or brain dead, or both ... and you would wind up being a tremendous burden on your family. What a damn shame that would be.
