I guess this kinda' counts, when I took my TL-s for service, they gave me a sentra that must have come out of Godzilla's *** after he ate stuff, cuz ok the thing smelled like a mix of a hotel room, farts, and old people sweating, also heavy cigarette smell, and lastly brown stains everywhere.

The lady is like ooh you're too young for our cars, I'm like, I just brought in one of your higher end cars, and so they're like no then they called in Enterprise who gave me the beatest of all beaters and even they didn't want to give me that car. Then they charged me 250 dollars for using it for like not even a half hour driving back home, picking up my other car and then driving it back to the dealership later that day....

Hah man, you got it good! When I had trannies (Note: Multiple) replaced, each time I was given a Hyundai and a Neon. Don't talk to me about sh!tty and slow! Each time I got my Z back, it felt like a new car! Just the difference in feel of the interior, the ride, the steering precision, it was amazing. I love my Z.

And dang you guys drive alot! I have 19k on mine and it's 1 year 1 month old.

I have an 03 Maxima and it's awesome! Not sure why you wouldn't like the loaner.

Try 7.5 K, I bought it in April and it's my everyday driver.

I only work 5 miles from work, but there's still NO excuse for me not to be out driving this beautiful beast a lot more than I do. I'm such a sinner.
