Yah, must be the nerdy cry babies thing then. Thanks.

if you came to toronto all we do here is cry and bitch about everything and claim how great toronto is and how it's a world class city.

most of the residents haven't seen LA/NY/paris/london/tokyo

i also found it applies to card/board games too. lots of... uhh... sore losers?

yah, im probably just hanging out with the wrong crowd in the RC scene for sure. cause all the business people ive met in canada were very cool, and elite. i was honestly VERY SURPRISED to see all these butthurt folks bunched up in the RC scene..

a complete 180 from the impression ive received.

I haven't been to Toronto, but I go to Montreal every year for the Grand Prix and find the natives really friendly, especially considering my atrocious attempts at speaking French. They even complimented me on my Blackhawks sweater.

I live in the USA, have been to all those cities, and to three of four this year and Toronto is definitely better than each one.

LA/NY-----Toronto is much safer than NY, has better public transportation than LA, feel far more safer than either. People in Canada have clear conscience because their country does not initiate wars of bullies other countries.

Paris- natives are not too polite, many don't speak English, more expensive.

Tokyo- people are polite but not many speak English. Way too expensive.

Finally got a sample sent in, here it is!!!!!
The highlights...

"CHRIS: Mostly this is a good first sample from your 370Z. Considering it has nearly 400,000 km under its
belt, it makes a relatively small amount of metal. The balance of the metals is good, so we're seeing no
problems there (averages are based on a 8,300-km oil change). The only thing out of line in the spectral
exam is silicon, so check the air filtration system in case silicon is from dirt. lt could also be a harmless
sealer. The viscosity is mildly thick; that could be from heat on the oil, or maybe an additive was used that
thickened it up. lnsolubles look good. Overall, nice enqine!"

Cool!
Thought about your car tonight. Mine rolled to 93,000 when I got home from work.

Based on my results, you'll be able to have a lot more driving fun with yours. Hell I had mine out tonight for a ride in the snow. LOL

Thanks for posting!! Pretty much what I would have expected considering your mileage and repair history. Great to have confirmation though

Back on the road for work next month. Still want over 400,000 kms by April. Which should be no problem.
