Im planning to have everyone there at 2pm but you can come early or later we'll probably all hang around for a decent while and then go for a cruise and then come back, depending on everyones schedule then split or hang around for a bit. Something along those lines..

Yes Pearl you dissappointed us, we were very angry you better be at the next meet lol no excuses, it turned out good anyway even though most of you flopped we went for a cruise after hanging around for awhile and a black GTR showed up and we rolled with him and then split after crusing down the QE, nice to see what my car will look like with the springs

Disappointing to say the least that DaCoupe and I were the only ones to show up.

Next meet we will have to set up far in advance so that all the GTA coupes can make it. Best idea may be waiting for the summer.

Yah my bad dude, but hey thats cool that a GTR just showed up when u guys were cruising, surprised they would drive it in such ****ty weather, but then again it can handle it! I can't wait until summer, man today was amazing weather, a whopping 5 degrees (celsius)! It was beautiful but it went to waste since I had to work ! I guess all you guys were busy with super bowl sunday anyway. It was the perfect day to handwash my baby, damn this weather!

Hey guys, sorry I didn't make Saturday. I got called out to work around noon rather unexpectedly. Just no way around it sometimes when you're self employed. Hope the next one works out.

jeez we've been having some good weather lately (except for the crazy fog today) and the snow seems to be almost all gone so i think we should organize a meet that we can all make sometime in the future. What is everyones schedule or preference?

Of course sedans can join dont want to leave you out of the fun and i would persist that your friend goes to woodchester nissan/infiniti and tell him to talk to Adam Court, hes the best they have and scored me an amazing deal on my altima coupe

I think he should definetly get the coupe the insurance isnt really that big a diff if you get the 2.5 but no matter which way you go make sure you talk to Adam Court he hooked me up, tell him that Sean sent you and he'll give you a great deal

Highly recommend that if you're going to buy the Altima Coupe, spend the extra money and buy the 3.5SE. Do it right, do it once, get the 3.5 (but that's just my opinion as I bought the 3.5SE)

The difference between the two is night and day.

If you can afford the 3.5, go for it. The extra insurance cost isn't all that much - think of it as if it was money spent on an upgrade.

DaCoupe, can you expand on that? 400 bucks more for what? Just curious, as the 3.5 is only 4 grand more than a 2.5, and insurance is about 10 percent more.

Yes the MSRP but when you finance or lease your payments are way more if you get the 3.5, for finance it was around 380 more, i compared the two when i was buying mine and i still remember being shocked by the difference.

I financed half the cost of my car, and pay only 300+ a month. If I had financed the entire thing, my payments would only have been around 800. There is no way that $4000 can add 400 a month to the payments. Unless you are trying to pay off the car in 1 year, someone was screwing with you. Plus, at Nissan's rates, it actually makes sense to finance the car because their rate is far lower than bank interest rates. If I had thought about it more, I probably would have financed more of the car! 400 a month equates to about 18-22K, depending on rate and term, but not 4K.

+1 to Ferguson. The difference is not that much and the return is that much better.

Another thought is that if the 3.5 is too much, a second thought may be picking up a used g35. Only caveat is that it will be 2-3 years old. Just my opinion though, take it or not.
