Hey man, good to see you still poking in every now and then. What are you in now? Did you sell the CTS-V?

 

I have a '12 Nissan Frontier quad-cab. Nothing really special. Sold the V when I got hit with taxes on my house and my mother decided not to watch my kid anymore. Back taxes and child care added an additional $1500-$2k/ month to my expenses. No biggie. While I miss my Z and V I've actually been a lot happier away from the Houston car scene. Spend more time with my son and wife. Also picked up firearms as a hobby. LOL

 

Lol, yeah I've subscribed to your Youtube channel. I totally understand how it is away from the car scene as I don't really attend any of their get togethers as well. Good to hear from ya

 

I HATE drum brakes! Took me about 30mins to get the driver side rear off. And still can't get the parking brake adjusted properly. But did get the rotors and pads installed. Changed the rear diff fluid as well while it was up. Other than the passenger side front dust cover rubbing on the rotor no hiccups.

 

So at 38,344 miles Infiniti send an ECM update that put my G37S in limp mode. As well as my battery dying due to a dead alternator. All this exactly two months out of warranty. Sewell split the cost and I was out $640. InfinitiCare doesn't care at all as they were absolutely no help.

While waiting on my car to get fixed I saw the Q-whatever number Red sport. $55k+!!! Screw that! I'll drop a supercharger on my G37 and save the $700+ monthly payment!

All else is well. Drove it to Memphis and back and it did 26+mpg averaging 65mph over 1100 miles. Arkansas roads suck!! Defiantly wasn't a smooth ride with such a stiff suspension.

 

I know, the stickers on these new cars is scary, I'll just putt around w/ my 09 for a few more years.

I bet our New Mexico roads are worse, but it's a sad state of affairs nationwide it seems.

Bummer about InfinitiCare, good to know.

Check back in another 8 months

 

Big props to FORGELINE Wheels! Looks like the seal/gasket on the TPMS bracket has deteriorated through age. Called Forgeline and they are sending a new gasket kit to me! That's customer service and warranty I like!

 

Two new BFG tires order for the rear. 285/35-19. Sigh...

 

Well, if you'd quit driving it like you stole it Robt
Good to hear about that Forgeline service, you get what you pay for there

 

Is this your one post for the year robert?

 

That's the wife driving it.

Now two...

 

Wife still has the G. 55k miles I believe.
