Whoop whoop! I've always liked nico best!

I have to go to Verizon today and tell them to fix my phone again. Isn't it funny how they have 2 year contracts that you almost have to sign to afford a new phone, but the phone NEVER lasts anything close to 2 years? What's up with that!?

They want you to buy the warranty. That way they make more $$$'s. Plus, now that Verizon has the IPhone, the dollar amounts it takes to get a new one are going up. They expect a flood of new customers due to AT&T's lousy network...

I have the warranty thankfully. I can't remember how much it costs...but all the money they get you would think they would require some quality phones from LG, Samsung, etc you know? I mean it's really sad how often these phones go bad. And they are so cheap to them, that every time I have a problem they just send me a new phone. What does that say about the quality of the phones? And how is the price of these phones justified, if they can afford to send you a new phone every time there's a complaint or a problem?

I have a new phone in the mail for free...then I send my current one back. I'm expecting to do that at least 2 more times before the contract is up. That how my last one went too. Lol

Do you have any kind of case or anything of the such?

I used to be that bad with my phones, but then I got an Otter Box case, and that thing is awesome. They even make waterproof cases. I just got the middle grade one. Comes with a hard shell and a thick rubber shock case.

I just noticed a commercial on tv, AT&T has the iphone for $50 w/ 2yr contract. I guess they figured they better come up with something quick before the Verizon-monster steals the rest of AT&T's customers lol. $50 is the cheapest I've seen that phone for ever

they are all refurbished models, you can walk into almost any att store or best buy and find it, i decided to get a refurb'd 3gs, and there was a very small scuff mark on it...im really anal with keeping my phone spotless so about 3 days later i took it back and i got an iphone 4..it cost me a lot more, but it was DEF worth it =]

on a side note, i traded my TT for an NA 2+2..

So, as I'm sure many others have found themselves before, I am going through an internal struggle. To keep the Z or not to keep the Z.
I love her so much but It's really hard right now to have it as a DD. Something's always breaking down and I can't keep it. It's never anything big but a bunch of little things are just as bad. Driving in the winter sucks. Every other day i hear a new sounds and i'm wondering "what's wrong now?" I am always worried about breaking down even though I have AAA. I live in an apartment complex so its just not possible to have 2 cars not to mention I'd be financially hurt by having to pay for a new car without any help from selling the Z. I think "i'll buy another one later, a better one once i have a garage to put her in" but what if i don't????
ahhhhhhhhhh this is so hard! HELP!!!!

OMG! Vanessa! I missed you! How are things?

And as far as the Z goes, if you can't afford it, you can't afford it, knowhaimsayin? It's a tough car to keep as your primary/ only car up north.

Like Ace said it's right. We love these cars and all but too much trouble you might want to think of getting rid of it, you haven't had it too long so not too much money is invested where you can't turn back. I say just wait a few years and get yourself a Clean TT when you're more financially stable. Right now you need rdependable transportation.


Not to say these cars aren't dependable, but if they aren't maintained like they ask to be you're gonna hear them b**** fit

^Pretty much what they said. It just sounds like you got a bad one and its probably not worth killing your finances over.

You've put new parts in it but there are lots of other aging parts... the thought of breaking down can be stressful and when you factor in the chances of snow, I wouldnt want it myself as a daily driver.

If you do decide to sell, tell us your budget and maybe we can recommend some other stylish yet dependable cars.

Sell it, get a Corolla and come back in a few years and snag a TT.

Guys, check this out! SkylineOwnersUSA.com site owner's Skyline seized by feds. There's details in here on what you can do to help! The government is focusing more on "illegal and unsafe" vehicles that are imported into the United States, many of which are far more safe than older-model American vehicles, when there are thousands of illegal immigrants pouring across the borders every day.

breaking-news-nissan-skyline-seized-t525694.html<--- Click the link!

Get involved! Help out! Do what Greg says or I'll ban you!
(just kidding about that part) Spread the word to any and all sites you're on! Facebook!!!

Vandrel (SkylineOwnersUSA site owner) is gonna fight this. He needs all the help and visibility he can get. He's relying on us to make this whole thing work. Anything and everything you can do helps.

Thanks, guys.
