Little brother looking to purchase a 370z.

It doesn't help, that I was the one that would always tell him to drive with traction off. I'm also a big part of the blame, just due to the fact that instead of making him go in the right direction. I persuaded him indirectly to take the wrong one. In hindsight forgetting that I've been driving for 10 years compared to 1.5 years for him.

Damn, who the hell steals fuses. If people can afford to purchase a Z or get a loan for one, why can't they afford a damn fuse??

Ken San, I think he thinks you're being serious, he's newer than us, lol
Your rep power is over 20 times his post count.

Pistons.
It's a joke 2009-11's have a very common problem. Steering lock failure. A common forum solution was to take this fuse out.

I'm almost 40, but I act like I am 12 does that count?

This forum has to be one of the best car forums out there. We don't really hate on any other cars besides the civics and the Prius-and for a lot of good reasons. The Civic forums and owners are the most retarded brain dead asswads I have ever encountered. The Prius, is well, just an all around hate-able thing.

I'll throw in my 2 cents and say when shopping for a 370, get a warrantied vehicle. I have a '12 and have only had a few problems, but they would have been expensive to fix. Steering rack leaking, and valve cover I think was the other one, maybe a bushing or something as well. Anyway, the service department at the dealer I bought the car from was second to none, can't say enough good things about Connell Nissan.

The car does have a bit of a high maintenance cost to keep it in good order, and it is not light on the gas bill either. I can't imagine paying for this car when I was 18. Premium fuel and synthetic oil costs, and expensive brakes/tires are something to take into consideration as well.

honestly these dynamic stability control gets into my way of driving, so unless its absolutely necessary (like over an icy draw bridge) i usually have it turned off.

on my dd's as well. i hate dynamic stability control.

I'm glad this isn't a mustang forum, if I said anything mopar related on there I would for sure be flamed lol. They would instantly call my vehicle a fat bloated pig, with the lowest horsepower, blah, blah. This seems like an awesome forum to be a part of.
