Mr.Bozack Mr.Bozack Sr Member Registered: 03/24/06 Posts: 1186 Loc: Ontario	No updates as of yet, I was strongly considering a 4runner that had a fair amount of goodies on it (supposedly the owner spent 5k on it in the last 12 months). I spent over two weeks trying to set up an appointment (the guy was always unavailable) and he left me hanging so I said F it and decided to keep my car for now - shopping for a car can be a real pain in the ass. The 540 will be getting some new brakes soon and I may put in some stainless lines while I'm in there. _________________________ http://www.MikeSmithCreative.com

Mr.Bozack Mr.Bozack Sr Member Registered: 03/24/06 Posts: 1186 Loc: Ontario	Hey guys, I have an update to the car search. I was forced to make a decision because the inevitable happened. The timing guides went on my 540 with 184KM. I would have held onto the car and pretended like I knew what the hell I was doing while I fucked it up more I'm sure lol but I already have an older square body truck. So being that I am newly self employed I settled on a 2011 Nissan Maxima. I tested it back to back against the G37 sedan (manual) and the G just felt cheap to me where the Maxima had most of the features my old car had plus it felt more luxury. It is the premium so it has the paddles, cooled driver seat, heated wheel, pano roof, heated wheel, rear shade and bose stereo. I really wanted to like the G because it's a better platform and manual but it felt so bare bones inside. So yeah flame me - I have a CVT car, never thought I would but overall the car was better than I expected which is rare (in my price range anyways). However I do miss the 6 speed and V8 grunt and I'm on the fence about long term commitment as it feels like it lacks soul - maybe some mods will change that? _________________________ http://www.MikeSmithCreative.com

Mr.Bozack Mr.Bozack Sr Member Registered: 03/24/06 Posts: 1186 Loc: Ontario	Thanks Simon, it ticks most of the boxes with the most important one being reliability. Big difference compared to a 20 year old german car lol _________________________ http://www.MikeSmithCreative.com

Mr.Bozack Mr.Bozack Sr Member Registered: 03/24/06 Posts: 1186 Loc: Ontario	Ha what you saying, is this a hood rat car lol? I better put some chrome around the wheel arches. The view out the font is pretty decent the humps over the front wheels give it an aggressive look. Nissan's take on BMW's power bulge lol _________________________ http://www.MikeSmithCreative.com

Mr.Bozack Mr.Bozack Sr Member Registered: 03/24/06 Posts: 1186 Loc: Ontario	Yeah I hope to get a few years out of it, it's got 140 on the clock. The first thing I did to it was drain and refill the tranny fluid and I'll be doing it again soon. I asked the mechanic at Nissan if they've had issues with the CVT on the maxima and he said it's really rare with the Maxima, he said the Murano is bad...probably all the lead foot soccer moms. Does anyone know if the infinity uses the same CVT? _________________________ http://www.MikeSmithCreative.com

I enjoy building/supporting brands through well thought out design strategies. http://www.mikesmithcreative.com I'm currently working with a client that owns several bars and my old employer on a video animation but I'm always looking for new clients. _________________________ http://www.MikeSmithCreative.com
