Again with the word need. People have a way of confusing "need" and "want".

The word "need" is the important one there. Could it handle more power? Sure. Does it *need* more power? No.

Something at a good eatery along the way. There’s enough information about places available now that you can find somewhere nice to stop, and you should be able to find time to stop a couple of times a day to eat.

Well that's sorted then!

Yep. I don’t see one with the advertised specs (i.e. the 400hp engine) starting lower than a base Q60 Red Sport (~$42.5K). Maybe there’s going to be a cheaper one coming with the 300hp 3.0TT, or possibly even the 2.0T in the base Q60 (they should be able to share all their engines).

In all seriousness - thank you for this. A few things are better here than in the US by the sound of it, particularly when it comes to doctoral candidates being used as free labour, but I’ll start tackling the other recommendations.

An LS in a first-gen Twin would be pretty cool too.

And if they’re saying "close to$40K", that will likely mean $45K+ with a market adjustment.

You don't.

Sounds like a plan!

Does Betteridge’s Law also apply to sub-headlines?

The rear intakes on the original stick out because they were an afterthought. They whacked them on because it kept overheating.

Apparently the colour was chosen because it’s the same as Ferruccio Lamborghini's personal Countach.

They’re only making 112 of them. They have likely sold them all already.

It’s non-existent. There is no salting of roads here in Australia. On the flipside, a lot of the population lives relatively near the sea.

Aww man....

Shit man, NOW ya tell me!?

You could indeed. On Craigslist LA you can get a ‘95 SX stick for the same price, it comes with a whole heap more body panels, it passes smog and it has a New Catilac conversation, apparently.

Easy - he needs something that he can write “TRY PAINTING, IT’S GREAT” down the side in big block letters. A van is the squarest of vehicles, and therefore the best-suited to life as a rolling billboard.

The owner has tried, but has he really tried? If you’re serious about making a Sentra quicker, you can go a lot further.
