Yes, I thought being a Nissan, I would benefit from "Japanese auto reliability" which was a critical mistake. Most other cars in this category are much more reliable whether they be of European or US origin.


Angry no. Disappointed in the way the forum membership is administrated? Yes, to a degree. The forum owners can administrate the forum anyway they please, obviously. They have no obligation to their members, or their advertisers and sponsors, I suppose.

It sounds like you have never joined another forum if a 6 month approval lag seems normal to you.


New 370z owners have the same issues. Nissan has done little to fix obvious issues with the vehicle.



No, the non approved member does not have full access.

No, I am not mad at the car. It is inanimate, so that would be silly. I am mad at myself. When I said I was mad at the car, that was metaphorically speaking, obviously (at least to readers of rudimentary intelligence).



The z cars are pieces of s*** due to major design flaws that the manufacturer refuses to address resulting in sub-par reliability and inordinate cost of ownership, especially for a Japanese car.

Do you need me to swoon over your car to get your knickers out of a knot? Are you so insecure that you cannot handle anyone belittling "your baby?"

I did compliment the HVAC and I could come up with other compliments if that would make you feel better, sweetie. Should I go on?


No, I'd prefer not, but I doubt you have any concern about my wishes, so I am sure you'll continue to blather on for several more posts. That's what those of your ilk usually do.

Law of holes
The first law of holes, or the law of holes, is an adage which states: "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging".[1][2] Digging a hole makes it deeper and therefore harder to get out of, which is used as a metaphor that when in an untenable position, it is best to stop carrying on and exacerbating the situation.

Looks like advice you would be well advised to heed. If you choose to pull your head out of your hole, you may wish to peruse the Silver Rule as well.

You’re going to lose your mind when your “reliable Japanese sports car” gets the dreaded steering wheel lock.

Look it up. You’re welcome.

I figured you wouldn't. So predictable.

I am already aware of that issue, but nice try.

I don't own a “reliable Japanese sports car.” I'd need to buy a different brand of vehicle for that.
