My conclusion is that the car is still very well mannered and you'd have to treat the throttle like an on/off switch to get seriously out of shape.

Yeah, that soft rear sway and the balance of the car do a great job of making sure the front is the first to go unless you really hammer something.

I checked tire pressure and lugs. Drove here to work in the rain. I usually don't take out when raining but starting today I said F it. I have to drive this baby more often. I only drove my 350 23,000 miles in three years before I totaled it. So I really didnt get to enjoy it more with all the money I had in it.

Just PDR, they were able to buff out the rest of the damage free of charge. as it is, the estimate is about $370 to get them out. Fortunately the other person's insurance is paying for it.

btw, do you need a set of flatstoppers? I have a full set that i wont be using now that my G's a dd. they go for 250+ new. Amazon.com: Race Ramps RR-FS Flatstopper - Set of 4: Automotive sell you mine in like-new condition for $175 shipped (it's a fairly big box). cool. PDR is definintely the way to go. i hate worrying about paint matching when painted. |

left mine in the shop ...
the tire pressure indicator came on today during a brief errand. I swung by the dealer. they pumped it up with some NO2 and changed the oil. On the drive out, i noticed the indicator light still on. so i u-turned back into the shop. they took it back - and disengaged the battery to reset the indicator. all was good until about a block away, it popped on again. so i u-turned again, and they gave me a loaner... too bad it's an altima, not the GTR they had on the floor.. |
