Because the previous owner liked to steal cars, obviously.

I realized that after the invention of Garmin that I wasted
a ridiculous amount of cash on the Navigation system from
factory. Also realized my girlfriend's 08' Pathfinder
(same year as mine)already comes with a stereo input jack
for an iPhone while I have to spend the $$$ I wasted on
a Nav to pay a shop to install it

WTF

-Can't see **** out of the back
-The compartments behind the seats are pretty neat
-No glove box
-Exterior paint sucks
-The soft rubberized paint on the door handles and latch on the front console container is easily scratched (silver scratches on black rubberized paint is super visible)

Still, the car gives me a stiffy every time I start it up.

The compartment behind the seat is the glove box!

- I found out that the floorboard of my trunk caves in every time I put something in my trunk that's heavier than 3 lbs.

You're absolutely right, but it just bugs me that there is nothing where glove compartments usually are on cars. Is that space occupied by something? It just bugs me out! lol

1) Pulled off the really cheap and old window tint.
2) Had the carpets and seats shampooed due to the "other person's smell" that gets to me. (downside to buying a used car... lol)
***did this the same day I brought it home.

Fuel tank doesn't fill up all the way Nismo CAI is ebay knockoff. Freeplay of shifter was more than normal.(My mech told me, I thought it was normal. So I'm getting a B&M short shifter installed!) Tabs on battery cover and fuse box all broken. Darn window goes down after I close the door. WTF...All in all, I finally got my Z and I love it. 03 Track, 6spd, Daytona Blue Metallic.

Found out it has a nismo exhaust on it
That there was a small nail in the back tire (no biggie)
Girls freakin love it
Oh and I took it to an exhaust shop just to look at what all had been done and found about a 6in gash in the floor, got it fixed though. That's about it lol
