Got a 2 hour drive on a flatbed in an hour... What do I do???
 

UPDATE WITH CAR INFO:
So... Long story short(ER). They found a nut sitting on the intake valves of cylinder 6, causing the valve seat to be ******. No warranty because there ARE no nuts on the intake... So... I'm at a loss of $600 labor already, they pulled the motor and disconnected everything, then they bolted it back in just to save shop space.

IF they can JUST replace the valve head (because of VVEL they need to replace the whole head, not just a valve and a valve seat... POS) I'm out $1100 on labor, the valve head is like $1000-1100, plus (I assume) some other fees $300-400, so I'm out $2500-2600 all told and I keep my warranty. IF anything got stuck in the cylinder and scored the cylinder wall, I need a new engine... (Tech's said that they couldn't scope the cylinder because of VVEL... POS...)


So they're taking their time because they're cutting me a HELL of a deal on labor, and I told them to take all the time they need...

NOW, I'm 100% sure the dealership that had my car for 13 days with the laundry list of problems started to fix it, then I got into it with the dealershit guy, and they just tossed it back together...






Made it to the dealership in record time!!!

EDIT:

I'm towing my car to a dealership 2+ hours away

He's well over an hour late so we're going to RAPE traffic...


Now... Sit with the driver?... Or... Sit in the car with the windows down blasting music and smoking a nice Cuban cigar?...

mmmmmm I don't know but I don't like cigars in my car ;) just my 2 cents!!!! but if you like to smoke in your car, go in your car bro and have nice trip!!!!:tup:

Voted cigars, but some bumps off of the steering wheel may be better...

:stirthepot:

I imagined the whole thing and it made me crack up, so I say the car haha.
Then take a pic and post it lol

cigar obviously. like a boss. b*tch, you're towing me like a horse drawn carriage.

Can't say I've ever had them allow me to sit in the back with the car before. :)

Only 7 votes so far but I think the people have spoken

lol I think everyone just wants pictures of it :rofl2:

I figured there'd be an option for rubbing one out while sittinng in the car. I wouldn't recommend with the driver, it could get awkward.

My music or anothers?

Cigar.

hell yeah!!!!:tup:

Well... I'm in the cab, getting breakfast, then I'm moving to the car

I believe for legally reasons you're looking at having to Ride with the tow driver.

Tow truck drivers can be very entertaining if they don't talk too much

They can't tow a car with someone in it.

Updated OP!

It's only against the law if you get caught!:roflpuke2:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: Wrrrooooongggg.

:tup:

Totally just want to see pictures of you puffing on a Cuban in the Z on a flatbed!

As for being towed IN the car...

I HAVE been in a car being towed once before, but like 15 years ago.
And at first the driver said SOMETIMES people sit in their cars, but for the first 15 min until McDonalds, I was in the truck (couldn't smoke in it anyways) and I made a fake phone call saying "I had work to do on my laptop" and he said "just be hush hush about it", lol!!! And I said "who the fúck am I gonna tell?"

And he kinda understood because the seat I'm his truck was SOOOO annoying, it was tilted forward and had no adjustment



As I type this, the driver illegally merged into the diamond lane! LOOOOOOLL!!!

I voted cigar

Enjoy that ride man :tup:

black and mild's don't count as cigars :bowrofl:


Those pictures are pretty funny tho!

okay I went back and saw you wrote montecristo...still looks like a black and mild...

Lol, I was going to take a real bigger cigar, but I misplaced my cutter and I had a bunch of small ones... And I DID bring black and milds too, lol

hahahaa!!! nice pics dude!!! :)

Updated OP again, LOL

:rofl2: 1,000,000,000 mpg FTMFW!! :tup:

Made it to the dealership in record time!

Good luck bro! Hopefully they don't give you the normal run around and get you what you deserve!

hahaha!!! awesome dude!!!

:bowrofl::bowrofl::roflpuke2::roflpuke2: My face when I actually saw you riding in your car smokin a cigar! You sir just made my day. No...my week. Thank you for that.

Hey Andrew, best of luck. I hope they don't mess around & get you fixed right this time.

I'm guessing that Nissan already has the engine removed and is currently installing a brand new long block steering lock :ugh2:

Probably combing it over to find a reason to not fix it.

"Sir, it looks like you've changed from the OEM tires. We cannot warranty this."

:roflpuke2:

:icon18: :icon18: for the dealer's sake, I hope not - DE will have Nissan Corporate pull their dealer license :roflpuke2:

Ditto!

Hopefully all issues will be resolved.

Boss !!!

lol finally found your thread, didn't know what you meant earlier today. How's it going there at the dealer? update with pics of new car now!

I'm glad I could make you guys laugh!

:icon18:

:icon18:

Thanks all!!! :tiphat: I'm finally confident

In any case, went to the dealer, told them what's up, the service techs had a problem starting it and driving it 10 feet! They pulled the same codes, cylinder 6 and random or multiple cylinder misfire.
I talked to 2 service advisors, both GREAT guys, VERY helpful, Alex Ramos and... Um... I forgot, lol, (I've been awake for 30 hours, lol)
I said that the car was unsafe to drive because of the random misfires and the fact that the car would slow from 80+ to 60 in almost no time while the car shook like a son bitch, and they really took it to heart and agreed.
And I told them what the previous dealer said, and did (more like didn't) do over the 13 days they had my car, and they blamed my starting problems on the battery and they said they fixed all my other smaller issues, which they didn't... And I said I have a 1 month old Costco battery as well as a brand new Nissan battery in the passenger footwell if needed to change it. I told them that I wanted everything to be right and they were impressed that I had 2 batteries, that I had the oil changes done to a tee, fluids changed with GTR fluids and such. They also said their GTR tech will work on it and he can fix a car with his eyes closed, and it showed, he had 3 GTRs he was working on at the same time, lol!!!

I gave them the laundry list of problems, and some parts like door rattle isn't covered anymore since I'm out of the 3yr/36k, which I'm out of, but he said they'd look.
As I was driving home I called him and said that the door rattle was the window because. And he cut me off, and said, Andrew, don't worry, we'll be taking care of ALL of it, lol!!! But I said when the window is put down even a millimeter, it doesn't rattle, and he assured me that they'd look over everything, and right everything, even on their dime.

There was some other things said that I won't post, but all in all, Fontana Nissan FTW, really a great place overall!
And I can FINALLY sleep well at night!!!

Sounds like a good start to the process, Andrew :tup:
