Call it trolling if you will but I thought there was a thread for this. Your car is nice though.

It has brand new tires that I just dropped $1k on, on the orange wheels.
The silver wheels have nearly new tires as well.

Yes, there is a thread for this.

Damn, sweet ride. I hope no one buys it so you don't have to get rid of it

7/16/2011 1:17:52 PM

time for another Maxima project?

7/16/2011 5:41:44 PM

out of curiousity, what's your average mpg look like?

7/16/2011 6:07:53 PM

Highway no AC: 29mpg and a few fill ups breaking 30.
Highway w/ AC: 25mpg
City (driving conservative): 19mpg
City (driving stupid): 7mpg

Just to give people an idea of the deal, I spent over $12k in the motor, trans, and turbo.
Almost all drive train work was done by Apex Tuning.
Almost all body work done by Auto Arts.


Just bought a Nissan Juke. 1.6 liter turbo, direct injection, 37mpg highway.

dude, why would you sell this for a Juke? I mean, to each his own, and i'm glad you got something you like...but damn the Juke is an ugly ass car hahaha.

Why is it that I get the feeling the VW hatchbacks are just going out of style.

7/17/2011 1:12:05 AM

I drive 62 miles each way to work. This will save me $2k a year in gas at the current prices.
I absolutely love my car, but is just isn't as practical as it was when I was single and living alone.
If I could afford to, and justify, keeping both then I would.
