I understand that.... But, to come out and say, "You drive an Altima, what's the point" is just a bit arrogant. IMO He would have recieved a single digit salute and a quick correction about it being a G, from me. Not everybody can afford a Z06 afterall, and to point it out shows a lack of class.

Or am I reading it wrong? He WAS joking.

I had an instance like this. A guy with a beautiful Porsche Panamera was next to me one day and I simply told him it looked great with his aftermarket rims. I proceeded to tell him it would lokk even better lowered a little. He shot back to me "No thanks, I don't need to buy anything from you". I was taken back, since all I did was compliment him on his car.

I guess this is one of those agree-to-disagree things. There's no excuse for being rude like the Z06 (and panamera) guys, but in general, I don't ask people to race on the street, or try to give them advice on what to do with their car.

The clip of the two corvettes drag racing and wiping out was right here in the Woodlands, north of Houston.

Lol at the Vette videos, seem to get pretty squirly in numbers. That one where that dude went flying was pretty serious. The one where the guy didn't even get out of the staging area at the dragstrip was too funny.

Exactly. Most Vette owners are a few Buds short of a full six-pack.

Maybe someone can help me out here? I persistently got the keyfob battery low indicator light on my dash. I replace the battery in my key and the light remains every time I start my G.

Do I have to reset something for that to go away? I replaced with a fresh, new battery.
