Default Got paid to speak my mind on the Z

Somebody actually paid $125 to me just to tell them how I felt about the car.

Tried to be as honest as possible....sorry Nissan.

I love the care, just hate taking it to the garage all the time.

eh as long as you told the truth.

what exactly is it going into the garage for?

nissan paid me 100$ to talk to a designer from japan, not really paid 100$, but I can get 100$ in parts/labor from a nissan dealer, pretty cool when nismo comes along.

I went to the Wednesday night session...

Nissan commissioned a market research company (Synovate) to hold two-hour focus groups for the Z's early adopters to share their inital impressions. It started out with gathering qualifying data points to establish why we all bought the Z, but later turned into a rag fest to let Nissan know where we stood. The sessions are videotaped and recorded, so hopefully someone at Nissan will wise the f*ck up.

The $125 was just gravy. I would have done it for free. I went Alpha Dog immediately and wouldn't shut up for two hours.

Sorry I missed that. I was in the 6:00PM session. I hope Nissan doesn't listen to the Lexus crowd that thinks the interior needs to be fancier.

Nissan engineer paid me $50 parts certificate to walk around the car and tell him what I thought needed to be changed. It was fun!
