Wish the review actually showed pics of the access door open and/or comments on filter/drain access.

Is anyone a member of the370z forums? I have tried to register over there so I could buy something in the classified's and I am still pending approval for a couple days now. Wondering if I could somehow get my email address given to the guy selling the item I want....Anyone here that can help me out??

Guys with X models...

How low can we go before it starts to affect the AWD system (ripping CV boots)?

I'm on vaca with the girls, and we park next to this car at the seafood restaurant. My 11 year old gets out of the car and says, "Oh my God, I've never seen so many od these big swoopy cars before in my life!"

She's right. So many Corvettes everywhere, its kind of conspicuous.

Hello, Detroit, MI.

I'm originally from the Detroit area (Ann Arbor) and there are a LOT of Corvettes.

Never figured it out. You can only drive them 7 months of the year and they are made in Bowling Green, Kentucky...not Detroit. Maybe because fiberglass doesn't rust...

That video was precisely why didn't even mess with the flap. (Sorry Rochester, I do have a flap...maybe an AWD or 7AT thing). What a mess, and the guy just blithely hums through it while presumably hot oil is gushing out and around his splash guard.

I take off the 14 or-so screws/nuts/bolts things and off I go. Oil catcher fits beneath both drain hole and filter fitting at once.

Noticed tons of 'vettes near Atlantic City when I lived near there, thought it was odd since that area is very seasonal and outside of casino winners, not a whole lot of money down there, but apparently that's where the top Corvette dealership in the country is located. Who would've thought?

Now I've got my eyes on the new STI. Sucks they kept the old engine but something tells me the hooning factor will make me forget about it.

And it sucks they eliminated the hatchback/wagon version. The sedan looks gaudy with the gigantic rear wing.

I can't resist the temptation to turn up the boost. Hence why I traded in my turbo Subaru in my G.

I actually like the big wing because otherwise it looks pretty tame. Also, what the STI lacks in the looks department it makes up for it in the fun department. It just sucks that the G is so good at what it does because you either have to spend more to get marginally the same performance from BMW/Audi (when looking for a manual trans optioned 4 door), or give up class and go down to the boy racer STI. I really don't care honestly but we can't kid our selves into thinking perception does not play a part in what we buy. Also, part of me loves having a modded G37 sedan as many people don't know what it can do (wolf in sheep's clothing anyone?) and the looks I get are priceless when compared to a stock sedan.
