nevermind, was already over

For what it’s worth, here’s a live stream from local news on the scene. https://www.facebook.com/WKRNJPleasant/…

No kidding, I grew up in the Springs watching both teams when they came, now live just south of Smyrna. Just crazy

I was no longer a kid by the time most of these came along, so here’s my altered list

Gotta love a Japanese Classic with Woodgrain.

While incredible, I would suggest for each head: under Layer>Matting use Defringe... and it’ll be perfect.

I’m a stones throw from Nissan’s HQ and main US factory, so we’ve got tons of Z’s, G’s, GTRs, etc around. There’s more Altimas in this area than just about anything else.

I’ve not driven one that does that full time. I’ve driven one with Autostick, which sort of makes sense, but is poorly executed. Being able to lock it into a ratio like a manual would gives the driver more control, so hill descents/ascents, you can put it where you want it and keep on chugging. The regular CVT mode…

I hear it’s being replaced by a slower paced show called CVT.

Perhaps I’ve been misinterpreting those decals all this time...

Subs seem to be an exception... to a point. I have no experience with them myself. Before this thread, I didn’t even know they’s started using them.

Exactly, when they came out with that, even with it being a FWD, I’d hoped for a rebirth of the 240sx.... but no.

my condolences.

yeah, my toyota trans downshifts going down hill when I’m coasting. Not necessarily a problem if i were trying to keep speed down on a long descent (usually drop out of OD for those) but it does it on it’s own... What’s up with that?

When mustang drivers test drive other cars.

You’re allowed to disagree if you like. Thing is, I don’t know how many car buyers really know anything about the CVT, we’re a bit more informed on this horeadous condition plauging our modern cars here at Jalopnik. That being said, Cars that are otherwise not bad, either they’re comfortable, attractive, or economical…

The best auto I’ve ever driven was a torqueflite 907 3 spd in a 75 Dart with a fairly well built small block. Something about a rwd, I’ve never driven a FWD auto I thought was near as good as that old tech.

I expect them to give up on it, it’s the Wankle of transmissions. Sounds great on paper... never really works out.

It sounds like the Sub’s have it together a lot better than most. I’ve never driven one to see. I wonder though, on the Volt, if it’s an advantage of the electric motors. CVT may actually work when you’ve got a constant torque output.

I think no matter what you expect, it’s still going to be surprisingly worse. To me, it’s not just how bad the CVT is by itself, no one drives a Compass or a Versa expecting much, but when they put a CVT in something that should be great, like a Maxima or Mini, that’s when it’s a huge disappointment. I don’t even have…
