NA - NA roof and headlight vinyl
135 - 75 GTM tow hook

11,725.- spend... 7075.- to be recovered....

So at $30k selling price, you would have to sell it at $37k to make back the same amount as on part out. (very unlikely you'll be able to sell it at that price) This of course considers the fact that you can uninstall everything yourself, otherwise subtract that cost from the difference..

Belgium does not equal the USA. Get it? And just how do pick up trucks cause most of the accidents? We have tens of millions of trucks on the road here and I have never heard such an absurd statement.

Interesting link.

He claimed that trucks "cause" accidents, which I'd like to see proof of.

its a big difference. we are a small country compared to the monster the US is, our roads arent built to handle those huge trucks.

The results of the crashes over here show that trucks and the sort have the largest accident rate + most fatal accidents and most damaging.

oh yeah posting a link involving america sure proves the situation in belgium.

in belgium trucks are the most involved with accidents.

also this isn't me just making stuff up, our government themselves are saying it and so are the statistics.

because we don't like overly large, extremely poluting, gas drinking and unneeded trucks? wow.

Please don't insult my country.

I am sure that they are sometimes needed there but I always wonder what the hell do you guys put in it that makes you want something so huge.

problem over here is that most people buy them because they are big and they feel safe and people think because they drive a big truck that they are not going to crash.

but lets stop this as its a pointless conversation.

^^^ lo9l try getting down a lease road for work in a car. Or plowing through 5' of snow in the rual areas of canada. not to mention being a self employed welder when your truck is you workshop. Get a grip buddy. if you are worried about polution wtf are you driving a Z for. plenty of electric car at the gay pride parade i am sure you could hook up a ride in one of them. I think you might enjoy the payment options too.

like I said, some people might need them but they are hated and unneeded here. the maximum amount of snow that was on the roads here was about 2 inches and the whole country was in chaos because people crashing everywhere because they forget that flattened snow + freezing is ice. Kinda sad.

And I don't care for polution mostly but you cant compare our Z's polution compared to a bigass 5.0+ V8 truck.

This is a question that I have wanted to ask for a while. are the diesel filter things required on new cars over there? Since as far as I know new cars here must have them.

but lets stop unrailing this topic.

You are a hypocrite. If you were really concerned about gas hogs and pollution you'd sell your Z today and buy a car that got twice the fuel economy, and don't get me started on a GTR, talk about excess! You really "need" a 480hp car in your country?

I dont "need" it but I don't annoy people with my Z unlike trucks, blocking the view because they are so big, taking 2 parking spots, driving like ******** and so on.

the Z and GT-R don't do that.

WTF? You were just pissing and moaning about pollution and fuel economy a few posts up. People have the right to drive what they like. I'm sure there a lot of people that look at you and think "what a totally selfish prick, he doesn't "need" that little sports car that seats two and gets terrible mileage, we should outlaw them!"

Get it?
