it's good that he's not changing his observation.

mr.alcheng- sorry to hear about the hibernation...it's just a fact of life where im at too unless i want to drive with snow tires.

i know it's do-able but i just can't stand washing that caked on salt crap on my car finding corrosion and stains in the spring time.

Ya I am in Cambridge for now, but moving to Woodstock area next Friday

No Z for me due to work I put my car away 2 weeks earlier then normal on Oct 15th. I had no time to drive it and it was just sitting there so I put it into storage and prepped for the sale of the house when I had time. I normally wait until the end of October and have my insurance just do the switch on november 1st to make everything easy and transition smooth. Then come spring I have it setup to go back on the road May 1st but depending on road conditions and weather I call in a week or two early and put the Z back on the road

Enjoy the weather we have for today and tomo it is supposed to be nice

Are they trying to say you had paint correction done to it? Like wet sanding or something? Or are they saying the correction was done at the factory? If they are saying you did it the obviously --> deny deny deny, say you only wash the car no corrections done to it and only noticed it on XX/XX/XX date and give them your story..... hope all goes well for you

No, the tech seems to be on my side but he also says it looks like color correction of some sort was done. I don't know what's going to happen until I hear back from the local corporate man.

WHO DO I HAVE TO FLASH AROUND HERE TO GET A NEW HOOD?!

Will we still see you on Z-meet next season???

with wanting to keep this Z for a long while to

As for Woodstock yes it is farther away but I will still be coming out it's only like another 20 mins of highway driving and I live about the same distance from the highway as before so it won't add to much time to my drives down for meets

I didn't know that she had bought it used, and yes that may make the fight a little more difficult then I had first expected.

right on still looked like a nice little town though, it's about the same size as Toyota and hey what do you both cities make Toyotas! Which is good because I am an electrical contractor and do a lot of work inside the Toyota plants.

no point worrying...make sure to keep a log of all these conversations/meetings/details...dates. People you spoke to etc. it is important to have that to support your claim

hahaha, i see, mr.alcheng.

yah, im definitely keeping my Z for a while too. probably 10yrs if not longer.
one season driving through salt weather equals about 3yrs of wear on a dry weather-only hobby car, imho.

ms.pint- hummmm...

is there proof something penetrated through the clear coat? one can have all the swirls and scratches on the clear (including poor wetsanding), but if it's above the clear it should not crack the paint under it.

That repair could have been done at the factory. They do lots of repairs like that (and bigger) in the factory paint shops.

I never mention that the hood was repainted only that “it has had prior work has been performed on it” as Terry agreed on the area that the paint was cracking because you could see the scratches from the wet sanding because you can see evidence that like someone was trying to repair the paint because something had gotten on the paint at one time. If you still feel you need to file a complaint against us, I’m sorry you feel that way because I never mentioned it had been repainted to you or Nissan. Maybe you misread my original email when I sent you the estimate from the body shop."
