If aimed at me, to be fair, I never mentioned his youtube startup. More power to the young OP if he does.
I always wanted to start a Youtube Channel, but for some reason I always chicken out because of having crappy camera quality, but who knows.
Greg, I've been hating Toyota's more than just because my car got rear-ended by one.
Just a suggestion: get away from all of these brands you mentioned, and go take a test drive in the Mazda CX-5, especially the turbo.datechboss101 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 9:54 pmI yet have to see a new CRV, Rogue, Escape, Equinox, Forester, Outlander, etc., that has freaking cheap looking black plastic material along every part of the exterior of the vehicle.
Nope. I'm leaving it up as a perpetual monument to youthful ignorance and foolish statements.datechboss101 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 10:35 pmGreg, lets just close this thread. I gave up long time ago, because my 2016 Rogue proved me otherwise. And this thread was about Nissan only, I really don't know how it went from bashing about Nissan to me explaining why in the world I hate Toyota.
Alright! Sounds like this is my thread to entertain everyone then!AZhitman wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 11:09 pmNope.

Kinda saving up and gonna get my wants for a Moneypit machine then I will hop back into a Honda. Definitely, I was looking at CX-5 but for $40k, I am literally eyeing a Mustang GT Premium at this point or I can get an Accord and dump $10k of racing modifications into it to make it a proper racecar.Buzzman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 7:40 pmJust a suggestion: get away from all of these brands you mentioned, and go take a test drive in the Mazda CX-5, especially the turbo.datechboss101 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 9:54 pmI yet have to see a new CRV, Rogue, Escape, Equinox, Forester, Outlander, etc., that has freaking cheap looking black plastic material along every part of the exterior of the vehicle.
It will make you forget all about your bad experiences with said brands, including your beloved Rogue.
My first thought of datechboss buying a mustang GT is crashing at C&C then immediately blame both Ford's version of cruise control/pro-pilot and any nearby Toyota owner ... j/k
What big name car shows have you gone to? Feel free to omit the Sunday Funday crossover events at your local Publix. That one is obvious.datechboss101 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:15 amI have been in a 370z before, and its not an ideal sports car for me, but I am hoping the 400z is an improvement, since the value of the 370z isn't there imo. Cars and Coffee.... I don't go to those things, as I prefer to go to the big name car shows that happen multiple times in the year in Florida. But then I am torn between show car or racecar.
However, I am trying to buy a nice vehicle (used of course, because most Floridians doesn't know how to drive, so new vehicles ain't worth it in Florida), and I got a budget that I am happy about, and it ain't funded by parents (not looking for another family vehicle and I got plans for heavy modification). Probably might get an expensive grandpa's car (Mercedes S550 or BMW 750i) and build it into a luxurious show car (land yacht), lol, but only use it on the weekends. The Accord does offer a 6spd manual transmission on the 2.0T, which its the only vehicle in the segment that offers it, which is one reason I was considering building a FWD Honda Accord, but with not a ton of power. The other option is a Mustang GT (of course), but it's not going to be a daily driver at all, plus I have to buy a vehicle hauler to take the Mustang to the track on track days. However, I could save up a few years of paychecks and get a Porsche 911, but that's gonna take a lot of courage and will to do that.
Ricerx-- I am pretty sure Florida has Crowdmower protection law. But then, I'd take the show car to cars and coffee than a track monster. Also, I rarely go to cars and coffee, so no one is gonna be harmed (maybe those liberals that hate and despise automobiles).
Bubba1-- Trust me, if I do get a vehicle that has these technologies, I am definitely gonna test them and put them to their limits. If it doesn't work to my expectations, I am literally gonna disable it via software hacks or physically remove the system (weight reduction). Clearly, I don't want some annoying beeps when I am trying to have a relaxing drive. Plus a mommy-mobile right now is a 3-row crossover (Pathfinder, Sorento, Highlander, etc.), not the mid-sized sedan or minivan.
I quit that low hour job long ago. My hours were getting cut every week, even though I am one of the best employees, and then on top it was a stress into course schedule, so I literally walked out and been unemployed for a while. Just recently, I started looking for jobs and applying. Gotta see where things go. I'd be lucky to get a job in South Florida, since school is in Miami, so I can take a full-time position and work weekdays and the occasional weekend.RicerX wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 9:50 amWhat big name car shows have you gone to?

What is a 400z?
You're the first person I have ever heard possibly cross-shopping a Porsche 911 with an Accord Coupe. That decision has to be tough. Did you ever quit that job at Pizza Hut or is that still a thing?
I adore your outlook on laws. Like how the Crowdmower protection law has forcefield powers. Also - why would liberals be harmed at a cars and coffee show over any other political affiliation?
BTW please link me to your first writeup on how you can remove a safety suite of electronics from a car without bricking it. Please tell me more about your software hacking prowess! Inquiring minds would love to know.
Well, I talk about plans rn because I got no job and huge funds to make things happen. Once I get the funds, by getting a job, those talks about plans will happen.
