Nissan does have a habit of teasing us with nice things and then promptly taking them away.



Although admittedly I was never that into the idx.

I'd buy the A70 and a couple of MK1 MR2s for the same price and call it a day.
The A70 has grown on me more over the years, while I just sort of lost interest in the A80. By the time I could afford one, I accepted that there were way "better" drivers cars which could be had for the same money. Often more than one, as $42,000 is dirt cheap and likely only because it doesn't have a targa top. I've often watched TT targas go for $60,000 in fair condition, and $75,000 if well maintained.

I will say that I prefer the SW20 MR2 to AW11. I've driven two SW20s and loved them. I tried to fit into an AW11 once and needed ibuprofen afterward.

@Sapphireho apparently there was a bad spill of diesel gas on 9 from Saratoga to 35 today. So it probably won’t be drivable safely for a week or two

Oh, maybe you shouldn't have told him that … he might take his Lotus out there just for the fun of it …

Nissan design was pretty bad ass before it became French.

We were just there last night and saw nothing? My son and I went Bear Creek Road to dinner at Scopazzi's in Boulder Creek then home down 9 thru Saratoga. We were probably at 9 and 35 around 8pm. Was all clear. Nothing unusual?

do people listen to you?

my subordinate will come in to my office, ask me what to do and when I tell him he'll just do the opposite. this is if he(or anyone really) tells me what's going on. I'm pretty sure my existence here besides my primary function is to serve as someone to blame when shit happens. which it always does since I work with the dumbest humans on Earth.

edit: proof:

he took a picture with his phone of another phone on a legal pad with hand written notes on it. I wish I was making this up.
