Default Favorite "little" things about your vette

In no particular order, list the little things that really bring a smile to your face about owning this car. By little, i mean, ignoring the obvious(power, etc..)

for me there are 3 things.

1) Push button start... because its simply pimp to not need a key.

2) window indexing, i always have friends compliment on how cool that is, and i remember when i first got in and out of the car and the window automatically did that, i thought to myself, "thats cool as hell!"

3) the door handles that arent really handles, but more or less pressure pads. Always takes a new person getting into the car a minute to figure them out but when they press the pad just right, and the window indexes and the door pops open i always get the same response.. "wow."

lets hear it fellas!

The little things I DON'T like are:
1. Glove Box
2. Lack of storage behind the seats in the Vert
3. Having to put it in Park before anything works

1. Heated seats - great during the winter while waiting for the car to warm up.
2. Keyless entry & automatic door locks - Helps when I have my hands full entering or exiting the car.
3. AUTO option for the lighting system - Turn lights on/off as needed.
4. AUTO option for the climate control - Set the temperature & forget it.

Expected and loved:
1) HUD
2) automatic memory seats
3) passive door locking/unlocking

Unexpected and loved:
1) a targa that doesn't leak
2) active handling system that isn't intrusive
3) 29.7 mpg on the highway

When I get ready to get out, the seat moves back and the steering wheel retracts. Now if it just picked me up and placed me outside, it would be perfect.

2. Keyless entry/start
3. The smiles on my kids faces when I take them for a ride.
