2009 Nissan 370Z: Pitfalls of Street Parking

It's sorta like leaving a note

Luckily when I got this, I got a License Plate Engraved in the Bumper, as well as a Carmax.com Logo. Let's face it: people are ignorant

Heh

This is clearly a faulty bumper from Nissan. This car is so unreliable.

Wow. That's a good 3/4 of $1,000,000 sitting right there in a hotel parking lot. Only in California; I would have been hyperventilating. lol.

2008 Pontiac G8 GT: Not That Great, Actually

Well, maybe 150

Seriously, Donna -- 200 times better? Admit it, you were just trying to get responses to this post. And yeah, everyone knows you guys murder brakes. What, do you all late-brake like Nigel Mansell?

I do have an Acura in my real life, actually. And, yes, I remember bench seats fondly.
By Mad_Science on August 17, 2009 6:14 PM
Nostalgia's great and all, but a Caprice (of any year) is ostensibly a worse car than the G8*.
Based on your complaints, it seems your ~30k would be better spent on an Acura. Some people want impeccable build quality and beautiful interiors. Some people want cars that are a hoot to drive.
*The only exception being that the Caprice's bench seats likely allow for more non-driving in-car fun than the G8. Maybe that's where the nostalgia comes in. Cars in high school and all...

Thank you , altimadude. I'm just expressing MY opinion

Is there really a need or reason for all these personal attacks against Donna beyond personal amusement? You should be so lucky that people can't comment on the way you do your job!

I have never listened to Michael Bolton but the Caprice had a great AM/FM radio

Things the car doesn't like about you:
1) At stop lights, instead of flooring it and leaving the Mercedes behind you choking on tire smoke, you cry about your mute button not turning down your Michael Bolton greatest hits
2) Instead of enjoying being lost in a monster V8 with sticky tires, you whine about the compass not getting you back home in time to catch the next episode of of Tyler Perry's House of Payne
3) Just about everything else

Doctor is in

Dr Burke-
Your double post indicates a general sense of confusion at teh intartubes.
Perhaps a long vacation from, or complete abandonment of, commenting would prove helpful.
It's not too late to pursue your true calling.

I never meant to start a gas octane war, or have someone think I wasn't deserving of driving. Wow, some of you take life too serious. I gave some real world scenarios, sorry some of you couldn't handle it.

Man, I would be pissed if I was the owner of one of those Ferraris. I wouldn't want the Ferrari to catch any of the FX's ugly disease. :o

Trucks may make it a little uncomfortable for the wedding vegetables, but women have to worry about pulling a Britney every time they get out of tall or low cars in a skirt.

That's so romantic
By crowb on August 20, 2009 12:39 PM
Get married. You get your "gents" removed that way, and it doesn't even hurt much. Its sort of like freezing to death. You fight it for a while, then you get sleepy and lazy, longing for the sweet embrace of death. You'll start to accept the inevitability of weight gain, then one day you discover that you are a torpid, neutered husk of a man comfortable with having your opinion given to you by others. Sorry, I always get sentimental around my anniversary.
