On the way to buy a new truck...

MrWhite · 07-25-2010, 05:51 PM

So, I went out 2 weekends ago with all intentions of purchasing a new 4WD.

First stop...the Nissan lot to check out the new Titans. On the walk to the trucks, curiosity got the best of me and I stopped to peek at the 370's. (All of them happened to be AT Roadsters).

A salesman wanders up and asks if I like what I see. Explained to him I was more of a hardtop do-it-yourself kinda guy, but yes, they were quite nice. He says he has something I need to see then, and proceeds to walk me to 3 40th's... Wow... Points to the 2nd one and says it has 2800 mi., if you're in the mood for a good deal.

The windows and fog lamp were tinted, and not a blemish to be found. The test drive really sold the car...But not before some substantial iphone googling (where I found this forum, and great info, which put the final nail in the coffin.)

Today, my old Jeep is still safe in the garage, with a new toy to look over.

Good choice. Unless you need to haul stuff.

Wow, what a twist! Congrats, she's gorgeous!

I went to buy a jeep one time and left with a trans am. Funny where fate takes us sometimes.

Nice truck!!

BTW. The fog light isn't a fog light. It's just a plug.

Welcome man! Car looks great!

Well, damn, you're right. Never use fog lights, so I hadn't thought to look.

So what does everyone call it? The fog lamp delete lens? Lol.

It's lovingly referred to as the "butthole."

Start there... we'll introduce you to the fobgina when you're ready.

Just so you know the fobgina doesn't charge the fob either. Just like a real vagina it doesn't do Amy of the work. It just sits back and takes it from the fob.

Welcome to the zoo, Mr White!

2800 miles...I assume the car was used? Or just had a bunch of test drivers...

vividracing · 07-26-2010, 11:57 AM

Haha what a twist! Congrats on the New Z and welcome to the forum!

Apparently after running through a $300,000 windfall in 9 weeks, the original owner traded it back in (and down) for a 2000 Maxima. His misfortune, my luck.

ProfessorDave · 07-26-2010, 02:33 PM

I ended up with a MINI Cooper the same way (looking for a truck, not the windfall). You won't regreat it until it snows. Which, I'm guessing, is never in Daytona Beach.
