the only things I wish for would be more steering wheels adjustments and higher seat bolsters to keep me planted better and of course, one of those I can take care of after I do all of my higher priority mods and have some extra money in a few years lol

yah, the seat could use a tad more side bolsters for me too. but i only street the car and most of my streets are straight, i like the look of the base cloth seats, so im going to leave it alone for now.

i was thinking about getting some aftermarket seats since i had that popping/sliding driver seat (TSB), but i fixed that with my socket and mallet so it's been good.

Yeah, I like the cloth seats, and considering price and that I DD and don't track, I'm not looking at seats any time soon. I hope to someday relegate the Z to fun car and get a different DD, so it would make sense to wait until then for mods like seats and suspension.

I know. Just making sure you could read that.

Though, I'm going to have to remove that and test you in a months time...

That's not an option for me

Yeah, usually there's too much sugar or fake juice. I enjoy a small glass of 100% orange or grapefruit juice

Yeah, I like Gatorade, but only so much of it.
I tried drinking those Ensure protein things, but yuck. I'd really like to try and drink more water though. I guess if I start running I will do that.

I want to try to incorporate some natural juices into my diet though. Like an apple juice or something like that.

OJ I can only have if I'm eating breakfast-breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast, etc.), or if I'm sick.

No, no, no... not nasty Ensure or Boost. Try one of the Special K brand ones at least - they have a variety of flavors, but I just like the Milk Chocolate.

i donno, but with our american diet, so we really need more protein? i think taking too much would cause more problems like kidney failure and other complications.

id' probably concentrate more on minerals, fiber, and other vitamins.

I talked to a Nissan Corporate canned response lady today. Not incredibly helpful at alleviating my concerns (i.e. filed headliner claim, I don't trust any of the Nissan dealers in town, only have 1K miles until Nissan warranty expires, and can't use my own shop). I told her my story about the brake flush they gave me last week w/o my permission, and she just said my claim would be escalated and reviewed if there were any problems

that sucks just as bad, mr. jar. i feel your pain.

these worthless garbage is really unnecessary for nissan to keep. they should just let them go, reduce overhead, and make better cars at the same price.
