So are you ensure an order for you now??

Alchang your guess is as good as mine. There are weekly production sched. that the dealer gets. I will not know anything until I receive my order # when it is accepted for production.

Yesterday I limped it over to Colin's shop to get it on a lift to check it out and get an opinion on a rebuild cost. It failed driving home and is now sitting on the street, dead, with a jammed transmission.

The upside is a new Juke. Another upside is that the owner of Colin's shop wants to buy the Echo as is for his daughter. The thinkg is in great shape (minus the current undriveability). It has brand new Yokohama Avids, nice rims, K&N intake, Koni Sport-D, Dynaflow exhaust and a new a/c system. It also gets 40 mpg.

The Juke SL is stitting, waiting for us. It is beckoning with its quirky siren song "come buy me".

for modding the Echo, Mr. onzedge! Also, good luck with the Juke. That car has been slowly growing on me - it's definitely got different mastered. I especially like that the designers incorporated the rear door handles into the body, thereby making the car appear to only have one set of door handles à la coupes; I've only seen that done on one other vehicle, the Acura ZDX.

Here's my update of the day - started out by scouring the local neighborhood for open shops, so that I could use their impact gun. Found one owned by a shady old Italian guy, and then waited around till their shop boy was available to loosen up the troublesome lug nuts for me. And then the sh*t went down - the old guy wanted $20 for the effort. Things did not go so well afterwards, so long story short, never going back there and advising everyone I know to stay away.

Anyways, I drove home, took off the wheel and was able to finally put on the last Nismo wheel and voila!
