Nissan 370Z testing on salt flats

Someone should copy the video and host it on their own youtube profile A.S.A.P. in case these d-bags take it down. I'd do it but I'm not a youtube/video production

Disrespectful idiots like that don't deserve to drive a Z. I was getting really pissed off watching those idiots. If they do work for Nissan, I hope they are let go immediately.

License plate in the video-Tennessee 4240 DL. The current issue of Car and Driver page 47 of the Z tested the plate is Tennessee 4245 DL. This one was posted in site. What gives with the plate numbers?

Hi Mike,
Thank you for the heads up. We are surprised and extremely disappointed by this video and will be addressing this with the appropriate parties swiftly. Also, just as a side note, the people featured within this video are not Nissan employees. [emphasis added]


We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

b. Their derogatory comments (i.e. "Here are the ugly headlights") are unacceptable.

c. I highly doubt that's what Nissan ask them to do.

I would like to find out who they are (name) and what plant they work for (also their position).

I felt the need to have to register and respond to this thread so I can clear up some things for you all.

Mike and Bling are not Nissan employees.
The car was a press car for Mike, not Bling.
Mike is an editorial writer for various media outlets.
Yes, they had bad judgment and got caught up in a ridiculous situation.

Mike is a well respected figure in the automotive community. You may recognize a LOT of his work in the tuner magazines that you see on stands today. He was the West Coast Editor for Modified Mag, and this can be verified in the last issue. He no longer works with Modified, but he has a number of freelance photography and editorial in other publications.

With that said, it was an idiotic thing to do- taking a press car for his own personal performance testing, and on top of it all, RECORDING and uploading the internet. But it's over. Whatever the fall out is, he will pay for his actions without a jury present.

People make mistakes, give him a break. Outside of this incident, he provides brilliant editorial and insight to our car world.

Thank you for making the situation more clear. I have not posted a word about this anywhere else, and I have not even mentioned it to anyone. My feeling is that this is a situation for Nissan and the two people in the video to resolve.
