Hey Ew :hello:

The new whip's fine but I still miss my Z.

I just wished that the market wasn't as greedy as it's been or I'd been in one for sure.

I still have my 70 240z so I'll be a Z owner for life maybe after the markets cools I can look and see if I can get a deal but for now a HELL NO!!

How's your BMW :icon17: Supra?? any issue?

My BMW slash Supra is fricken awesome man :icon17:, I love driving it.. I've done a few things to it, but there's still so much more to do, there's a few carbon bits in the engine bay I wanna buy, and a set of side skirts and a nice diffuser is on the list too..other than that, no regrets brother. The last I saw of my Z, the kid was thrilled to have it, so I did well.

eastwest2300 07-08-2023 04:50 PM

Trips, you like the new Z? :eek: Man, I just can't get there man.. :icon17:

Awesome to hear.

The mods are endless once you go down that path $$$$$

I saw mine head to a used dealer in AZ so I have no idea who would own mine.

I just hope she's taken care of and not end up at a wrecking yard. :ugh2:

Would I buy a new Z? Absolutely!

Unfortunately, my current lifestyle is not conducive to a sports car. If they ever get rid of those ridiculous dealer markups I would seriously think about it.

Checks all the boxes for a JDM. Beauty is in the eye in the beholder so who
cares. It’s not a $200,000 American super car (c8) and it’s not a rebadged BMW (supra) that you can’t take to a Toyota dealer for warranty work because they won’t work on it. Until you go to the BMW dealer that won’t work on it because it’s a Toyota. Good luck with all that.

Could Nissan have done better? Absolutely! But Nissan as a company has one foot in the grave. We should be happy they actually got this “refresh” to the masses. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last one. They’ll probably come out with an EV on the same platform and that’s when the haters will really scream.

Everyone wanted a cheap, low tech, manual transmission, dependable daily driver. Nissan delivered and the same clowns are whining about it not having enough tech, cup holders, parts bin, and my favorite, an ugly car! When clowns start complaining about the size of the fuel filler door they prove their ignorance.

People are weird…

A common misconception. FWIW, greed may be a factor, but not as big as people think, esp. now with sky-high interest rates.

We are at the tail-end of COVID, but global supply and supply chain issues still linger, esp. chips/semiconductors with the war in Ukraine (Neon gas is required for production of these and Ukraine supplies up to 70% of the global supply of this).

Then, you have the interest rate increase factor, in which we've had 14 consecutives raises up until a pause recently (but more expected to come), 4 of them being 75 bps and the others at 50 bps, when the typical raise is 25 bps.

Not a good recipe. Short supply, increasing rates excessively, and taking out the money supply in the economy (quantitative tightening), you should expect for prices to stay high and steady. With high interest rates, you have MUCH less qualified borrowers, which theoretically should lower pricing, BUT, you still have the supply issue to deal with.

IMO, you shouldn't expect pricing to cool anytime soon.

Not enough fake vents and sharp angles? Do you make vroom vroom, chirp noises when you dump the brake pedal and yank on those paddle shifters?

Well that settles it for me! A clown that can’t afford to buy an ice cream cone doesn’t like a car, so nobody is allowed to. LOL!!!

Why are you here again? Go away or I will be forced to taunt you some more! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberry! I will fart in your general direction!

I was wondering when the old thread would be shut down and a new one started. Threads are limited to 10,000 posts. The old one went over board.

Even if you beat on your car, I'd be willing to bet it would still outlast a bmw that's been babied by a few fold times over lol

I had to change the oil on the wifey's car today. It took me 3 trips to find the oil that I use, and of all places, Home Depot had it :rofl2: I didn't know they sold motor oil.
