Unfortunately it's only a 2.5 S, but tbh, I have no complaints. Most of my driving is done in 45 mph or less speed zones so :O It's got the convenience package and premium package, I could've had the leather added, but once I saw the cloth seats or so they call I felt no need for leather as it was pretty nice on its own like that.

I've already done 350+ miles on the car and still above quarter tank left of gas..me likey...(beats the 12 mpg i was getting on my last car LOL)

2010 superblack ...was a tough find. No point in posting pictures now cuz everyone's already seen em.

I had a quick question. On the errr display unit thing behind the steering wheel, it says 'maintenance filter'....is this telling me to change my filter? Or is this like a calendar system and it is just telling me that is the next thing I need to do..once the time comes? I read the manual and I'm assuming it's the latter.

So yea the car is totally nice. What are some basic stuff I should be looking into to do to the car?

Welcome to NICO, you can reset it that is a scheduled maintenance message.

Tracks your miles between changes.

IMO. drop, sway bar and intake are an easy must do.

Excuse my noobness...(and laziness to not read the manual)...

but what is #1 and #2 in this picture? And how does #2 turn on?



I got out of my car to check and only #1 is on...is #2 just for high beams? and #1 is the projector?!

I didn't have time to take pics, but today when I was parking my car in my parking lot I noticed a 3.5 SE black altima coupe (2009 I think..maybe 08..but it looks 09)...so I parked right next to it, ran home and got my cam for comparisons..of course you can't really compare from this pic cept the front..but i didnt want that owner to come out at the same time and be like 'wtf are you doing' lol ...I'll take more pics and some at night for daan if he still wants.

Raz, you should hit me up for some NICO A/C promo cards...... I got a bunch ready to be given out...

I'm seeing the number of coupes in Tally gradually go up

Yep there's a white and red one in osceola ridge. I saw 2 black ones too (one in my lot and one with an fsu license plate).

I don't even know what a NICO A/C promo card is lol. What does your schedule look like? I'm pretty busy up until next Wednesday ;/

Here is the thread about the cards:

http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread/348571

I have a fat stack that I can give you so you can spread the word and get more people from Tally to join:)

Sounds like there is a decent amount on campus... since they are most likely college kids, they are more likely to join than a 40 year old woman...

Well we work pretty close to each other... so maybe we can meet during a break or something... I work until 5:30 mon-thur and have afternoons off on friday.
