Cool "hidden" features about the GS that are not very known

I noticed it yesterday, but since it only takes 10 seconds, I do it before driving, like when changing CD's or something...

Since i'm the only one who drive my car, i used only one memory setting for the seat and the other i used it to adjust the side view mirrors to see the rim, so i woudn't get it mess up when i paralell park.

Does that mean when you come upon a parallel parking space....you drive pass the stall....turn off your engine....hit the memory setting #2 (for mirrors only)....start the engine up again....and then park it?
If that's the case....I would hate to be in the car behind you.
OR,
Do you just hit memory setting #2 at the outset, and drive around town with side mirrors pointing down at your wheels....looking for a parallel parking stall?

Nah, No need to shut your car off.. Re: the memory seat thing.. I do it too.. right before I'm gonna' parallel park I put the car in "P" then I hit "2" .and my outside mirrors go down to see the curb (and I made my seat lift a bit..just 4 a better view).. and then back in2 "R" and proceede to park... Try it. it's best for not curbin' your rims..

wow I remember this thread!!!!....brings back memories
And no the steering wheel setting will not be saved in memory for that extra 1/2 inch...and there is no C-Best setting for it either.

Wow!
Awesome thread-but it says the c-best settings (on initial post) is for 2001 and up-is that correct? I downloaded the file and printed it and then noticed that after...
thanks

Hey SuperJOe whats up? I started this thread ages ago the day after I met you. Lots of credit goes to you for showing me these cool little things about the GS.
Last I heard you moved down to Florida....still live there or back in NJ?
Still driving the accord or did get something new?

I know this is an old thread, but didnt want to create a new thread for this question. Seems like the appropriate place to ask this question.
I was reading my manual about the window wipers in rest or retracted mode (guess winter/summer).
I want them retracted and under the hood, but when I tried pushing slightly it was stiff. and didnt want to break it. I wanted to find out how hard I am suppose to push the blade? I dont want to break it. Is the wiper blade suppose to be totally hidden under the hood? Just want to make sure that my blades are actually in winter mode and that I dont break it by pushing it real hard downward.
Thanks,

FYI, I move the wiper arms to the "up" position when I wash it, so I can flip the wiper blades away from the windshield.

wiper position
I struggled with the wiper position too... until I learned that you change it from the passenger side, not the driver's side!!
Does my 98 have the AC filter?
thanks!
