I hate deer - no seriously

NO! Say it isn't so. The CUBE lives on. We are the latest victims of being forced to operate this ugly box on wheels I make my Fiance drive it,

NO! Say it isn't so. The CUBE lives on. We are the latest victims of being forced to operate this ugly box on wheels I make my Fiance drive it, and park it in the garage so it's not seen in front of our house. Our 2010 roadster had a pressure switch fail in the hydraulic top. Due to an engineering disaster of design, the entire hydraulic system needed to be replaced as a complete unit. That was originally about $4,000 in parts plus labor. Then, the "master" technician broke a part on our top during reassembly, and now we are having our entire top replaced to the tune of $15,800 compliments of Nissan. The poor girl only has 7,000 miles on the odometer and we're blessed with driving this silver box for a month, complete with a round carpeted floor buffing pad on the dash that the service advisor told us was good for holding your pipe

It's a decent place to put your cell phone as long as you're not taking corners too fast. Then again if you're taking corners too fast, it might tip over sooo...

That's hilarious! Where do these car companies come up with these moronic ideas? To bad they didn't give you a Nissan Joke instead of that shoebox on wheels.
