Hidden Features

Greetings 86club
Having just bought my new FrS, I was wondering if anyone could share some features which some may miss, or could be considered hidden
There's something similar on Wrangler Forum and I was curious if the twins had anything to speak about here as well

There's a DC (cigarette lighter) plug in the glove compartment.

There is a screwdriver in the trunk, that's reversible. Pretty damn handy.

You can drift the car with one hand while holding a Big Mac with the other. That's the only feature you want really, screw the screwdriver or dc plug!

If you press the display button while your car is off it'll show how much gas you have.

If you turn all of your safety features off and wreck your car you can blame it on something else other than the driver.

It's a pretty useful hidden feature for posting on the internet.

If you put the car in reverse and floor it, you can go backwards quickly.

You will be adored by dudes, this includes fly bys, rubbernecking, thumbs up, revs, conversations when you have somewhere to go, conversations when you have time to kill and requests to go for a walk in the woods from a middle aged man.

I highly suggest saying yes to the last one.

No problem. If you didn't also know there is a button in the trunk that disables the buttons that open the trunk (the one on the dash and the one on your key). So you have to open the trunk with the key. That's more of a valet feature, since the valet key won't open the trunk.

The steering wheel is adjustable up and down; in and out. I have mine pulled all the way out.
