Also, I may be 51 and old, but I refuse to grow up. Ask anyone. When maturity comes knocking on my door, I pretend I am not at home.

I've seen all those NSFW posts.

Sorry, just saw the issue. I'm on my cell. Dude. That's so minor its a joke. I have had other brands do it too. It's not brand specjfic. It's like hating Nissan because the windshield wiped motor went out twice. It's not a quality marker, really.

If a no start on a z bothers u, never go out and buy a ferrari, or lambo ar anything of that nature....

every car has its thing. maybe u got lucky with the yotas, but some people havent been so lucky. dont let this one issue scare u away from a company forever. that wouldnt make any logical sense..

Agreed, like I said I think my next car will be a GTR. I am suprised and pleased by how well my Zeda does in the snow and ice with Blizzaks (I thought I was going to have to buy another Tacoma) so I can only imagine how fun a GTR would be in any weather.

With the right tires and common sense, cars are limited in snow only by ground clearance.

That's why I bought a Nissan! I am a victim of high expectations.

I do have to say that even with my beloved Zeda being winched onto the flatbed, it still looks sweet!

Indeed. Nice pic

The people jumping on the OP have probably never had this happen to them before. It's not a good feeling, especially if it happens twice. Getting stranded sucks and it makes it difficult to trust your car especially if it's due to something like an electrical gremlin.

I'd cut the guy some slack. It's very easy to get emotionally hot when you have to deal with a situation like this.

I hope the car gets fixed and you can get back to enjoying your Z without any more problems.

If only the forum as a whole could be more supportive instead of defensive.

Been there, done that, multiple times. It's frustrating for sure, but unless if was something more serious I never wrote the brand off. Hence I bought a vette even though my fbody had tons of crap go wrong, almost killing me(randomly died on the freeway, once right in front of an 18wheeler), stranding me, etc.
and hence I'm getting a 370z even though my g20 has been junk.

"A True Z Fanatic" - No false advertising there

I am right there with you about the Vette. It is also pretty awesome being a Z owner in Colorado where every guy out of college owns a STI. They really can waste me off the line, but they are still driving off in an ugly, boring Subaru.

Nope, I'm looking forward to the z, but I know its limits. I think ill be very pleased, glad you are over your frustration, btdt, sucks.

That makes me reminiscent of the way this forum used to be.

The way people would have responded in 2009: "That's terrible man, what's the problem?" :everyone chimes in to help:

The way people respond in 2011: "WTF MAN, NISSAN IS AWSOME!!! HERE ARE ALL THE REASONS YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!"

If I were stranded somewhere, I'd probably be pissed off too. I don't see any reason to jump his *** about it.
