I love this forum

I truly do.
Yesterday morning went to start the Vert to go to work and found the battery dead. I know it's been an issue reported many times in this forum but I thought that after 2 years my car was immune to this particular issue.
Anyway, I plugged my shop charger, set it to quick charge and got the car to start within 10 minutes.
Called the Dealer as soon as I got to work and booked the car for today. In preparation for the appointment, I searched the forum for battery issues and printed the TSB.
At the Dealer I showed the TSB to the service guy and talked about the evap valve.
An hour later, Hyatt had replaced the valve, installed a brand new battery, no charge and no proration costs for the battery and I was on the road.
It sure helps when talking with the service guys if you have background material like the stuff in this forum.

Awwwwe, how sweet is this thread LOL! Seriously though, this forum has been a big help to me in researching mods, problems, DIYs etc. and it is composed for the most part of a great group of people and the Mods are a great group of folks too. I would also say that the370z.com is a great forum with many topics that apply to our cars, especially in terms of engine and suspension. I always try to share common info with them and you will notice that there are a large number of dual members.
