do you miss your car

[Kevin Hart]

I drive the 98 Alty about 90% of the time.  Luckly down here in TN we
dont get enough salt on the roads to really be concerned with it
damaging cars too bad.  So I dont retire cars for the winter.  I just
recently bought Calum's NX and its not exactly a fun daily driver.
But for an occasional ride its awesome.  The suspension is too stiff
for street driving.  But I get in it and am always amazed how the sr20
revs.  The Alty is kinda lazy but torquey.  The NX is peppy and buzzy.
 The Altima is quite a ride, and Ill say that the Altima has always
been one hell of a buy.  I recomend them to everyone...well not the
2.5 one because of the crap engine...   But the NX  is quite fun.  you
can take corners at 3 times the seep, can rev it out to the moon, and
can take the tops out on a sunny day.  I still miss my 93 tho....that
poor automatic.  But the 93 classics are my fav....and I would trade
my NX in current state for any nice 93....

Nissan making a 2 door altima....typcial american response, lets have
a bigger car.  pics already been leaked about a week or so ago now.
Its ok, it looks too much like a g35 to have any brand image to me.
Plus the rumors of it still being FWD, doesnt bode well...whats the
draw to it other than, ooh its a nice GT car that cant do anything but
cruise.  Oh well.  When they make the sentra = clio, and the se-r =
the cup version.  Then Ill think about going to a new nissan.  At this
point, I dont care for any of the new cars for an "enthusiast" car.  I
wouldnt buy any new car at that point, but from the end of the 01 to
up to now I wouldnt probably buy a newer nissan.  The interiors are
just junky IMHO.  They forgot how to make nice plastics....
