If you are referring to my posting, nothing, except it wouldn't work because the valet lock was on, which is a button in the trunk. You have to use the key to open the trunk except we couldn't find the lock, which is "hidden" in a vertical position under the lip on the back of the trunk. Very nice actually.

If you weren't referring to mine, well, now I get to repeat being stupid twice for nothing!

Not knowing how to move the seat forward to get into the back seat =\

I know I have to pull the little belt at the bottom but nothing happens

Probably the same as the response right below his, "pecked a curb"...most likely pulling up to a parking spot.

This is my greatest fear as my common parking spot is just the right height to allow my RSX to clear it when I occasionally park too far forward.

RSX - 5.9"
FR-S - 4.9" CRUNCH!

One thing to remember, the FRS is very short. If you park a foot away from the front of the space the rear end is still well within a standard space and may help prevent someone from accidentally trying to park on top of it. Also you can always back in to avoid the entire issue.

Yea, its also a trick I learned riding motorcycles. Never pull all the way in, park at the edge. This is covered in my all time favorite Rich Hall "Sniglet" (a word that doesn't exist but should because we have all experienced it).

Definition: The feeling you get when you go to pull into a parking spot only to find there is a motorcycle already parked there.

Word: Kawashocki

By the way, to see this demonstrated, look at this photo in my owner's journal. My FR-S is parked a foot away from the curb on the back-end, and all the cars around it are parked at or over the curb.

Still lots of room in the space.

My Integra is low but ATM has no bumper so i have not had this problem for some time. I might have to practice pulling in parking spots again jk.

if you cant learn to park a sports car in such a manner as not to crunch the front body work... well then I think there is little to no hope for you.
