Awwww yeah. 33 mpg and runs on regular. Ditching the old 18 mpg runs-on-premium Caddy.

Nice ride. Is this your first new car?

This'll be the first that's not a hand-me-down, yes. I was worried the wheels were going to fall of the Caddy before I had enough of an initial payment stashed away. And I'm just leasing, since a few years from now gas prices might be high enough I'll have to get a Vespa instead. Heh.

Why do you hate the US car industry? (Cars with sh*tty MPG is not a valid answer) :D
Nice "whip" man.

1. The Altima is built in Tennessee, IIRC. ;)
2. Price. Ford is EXTREMELY proud of the Fusion - a similar trim level on a Fusion would run me $28,000. A similar Dodge Avenger would go for about $26,000. This one goes for less than that, and has moar powah than a Mazda 3, which would be about the same price.
Plus, it looks like the 350Z, and I like the 350Z. :D

Dang, you still drive that Caddy? :D
Congrads on the new ride. My "new (10 years old)" one only has 8 payments left.
i'm convinced Nissan is eventually only going to sell one car :D
it looks like 350Z, NTTAWWT
EDIT: heh, too slow, i guess

Heh. Yeah, except I can't afford a 350Z - pricetag OR gas.

Trade it in. They won't give me much for it, but it has a TON of little things wrong with it.
Oil drip.
Needs new shock/struts.
Tires are bald.
Driver's side door doesn't unlock with the remote anymore.
Alarm system re-arms itself randomly.
Rear right corner rattles if I go around a left turn too fast.
There's an electrical bug in the dashboard - dials get really dim, then REALLY BRIGHT for no reason.
Armrests are cracking.
Some interior pieces on the C pillars are starting to fall down.
and on and on.

Admit it. You're selling it because of the cigar smoke smell.

I've got an '05 Altima, and I love it. Great car, and they keep their value very well. Enjoy!

Good looking car.
Looks like the Infiniti G37 too. (About the same as the Z)

Nice ride, GHP. You'll enjoy it.

I'm guessing then that you haven't seen the recall on the Altima?

FALSE ALARM!!!
Man, the Nissan people are WAY too proud of that coupe. We got to talking numbers today and they want $500 per month for that thing. (They assume the car will de-value 50% over the course of a two-year lease, which is bull.)
Anyway, for what they want to charge me I could be driving a 3 year old BMW or Mercedes. Screw that.
