Introducing once again my newest car.
I'm beyond happy with it. The Maxima just didn't do it for me but this car clinches the deal!

The pinstriping and the deflector has to go. The pinstriping will be first since it's so visually offending.

Re: Introducing once again my newest car.
Looking Good Cody! I'd personally be leery about driving a convertible car in a place that has winters like MN does, but I hope it serves you well.
Bye Bye:

Re: Introducing once again my newest car.
Congrats! What year? Regardless, that's really low miles and looks pretty sharp. But that deflector screams "geezer behind the wheel!"

Re: Introducing once again my newest car.
Don't those 2.8T's get like 2mpg? Might be a rude awakening compared to your 2.0T 
Either way, sounds like it's gonna be a fun car. How does the lack of a roof feel in terms of handling and chassis stiffness?

I got 30 mpg on the way home. A six speed automatic helps!repinS wrote:Don't those 2.8T's get like 2mpg? Might be a rude awakening compared to your 2.0T

Truly jealous. You're making me want to get a 9-5 in stick this summer.

Re: Introducing once again my newest car.
Someone in my town has a 9-5 wagon that just got listed online. The wagon part made me kinda interested, just cause it's weird and European wagons are just innately awesome for some reason.nos4blood70 wrote:Truly jealous. You're making me want to get a 9-5 in stick this summer.

Re: Introducing once again my newest car.
Drove it more last night. I absolutely love this car. I finally was able to put the proper octane in it last night and this morning, I reset the computer to adapt to the required octane. Later, hoon time!
