Specifically Altimas - not all Nissans, just... Altimas. One or more lightbulbs out, visible signs of significant poorly repaired body damage, probably rolling a spare tire with 3 aftermarket wheels.

How’s the fuel range on a full tank? I’d read a couple complaints that the tank was too small, but those were just rumblings from people trying to find fault I think.

I’m in the same spot. Not getting younger - knee replacement, a couple elbow surgeries on my shifting arm... my days driving a stick are numbered and I just want something comfy and quiet that I can still occasionally enjoy on a back road. I’m never going to go out autocrossing again, but I might take a drive in…

usually missing pieces of the bumper or whatever

anything with shitty nissan cvt’s is just another nail in their eventual coffin. They need to stop it with that nonsense.

No, I mean a modern 240z. 

Nissan’s just been cheaping out for a long time, all to create mediocre passenger cars and “sports cars” that fall apart at anything more than 8/10. To rehash it yet again, with more power, just seems a little noncompetitive. I guess minimal effort with maximum price pretty on brand though.

My dad had a pair of CBX’s for many years. It was kinda like a VW R32 - it made wonderful noise but didn’t back up the sound with outright performance.. but man, holding a gear instead of upshifting was oh so nice. One had a 6-6 exhaust and it sounded totally bonkers (but uncomfortable for more than a few minutes…

Yeah but with a cbx, for that 30 minutes the carbs stay perfectly synced, it runs so smooth and sounds so good ;)

Hey, the Altima - or, the official car of questionable credit.

Isn’t the new z just another reskin of the same car they’ve been selling for 20 years though? It’s got a new engine, yay, but... it’s just a slightly evolved 370z, which was just a slightly evolved 350z. It’s an attractive reskin I’ll admit.

ugh cvt’s are so gross

What an articulate and well thought out reply. 

The Ice T quote in the middle of the article - fantastic! It’s like the cherry on a sundae, perfect placement and just what it needed :)

It’s Texas - if rolling coal is deliberately causing harm to someone, then can’t you just shoot the person rolling coal on you?

It definitely seems like something that needs to happen to him at this point - his attitude is just a runaway train at this point. Yes, he does a good job of saying “here’s a weird but handy thing to do” then forcing engineers to make it work - but he doesn’t have to be such an arrogant dickbag.

I wonder if Musk is going to have a Steve Jobs moment, where he gets booted out of his own company for being toxic and has to spend a few years maturing before coming back. Dude does definitely seem to need a reboot and it worked wonders for Steve. 

smart car!

Wait a minute is this Reddit?
