Made the mistake of taking it to the Nissan dealership for a state inspection. Incompetent technicians put it on the lift incorrectly and bent up the floorboards on both the driver and passenger sides. Funny thing is, this is the SECOND time they've done this and second time I will have to get it fixed and deal with the headache. So wasn't sure how it happened the first time but NOW I KNOW! Last time the body shop that fixed it dirtied up the headliner and put a couple big gashes in the shift boot plastic. And denied both! Had to spend hours cleaning it and buy new interior pieces. Just more headache and stress to deal with. This is why I never take it to anyone to do work (with the exception of this FI). Do all the work myself. Only one thing left I have to let an incompetent mechanic touch is a state inspection and they screw that up.


On the bright side, I delivered her to my shop yesterday. Next time I see her she will have 2 turbos inside. But then I will have to immediately take her to get fix on the wallet of Nissan. Bittersweet feeling right now.

prove everyone wrong. start you car, reset the MPG, drive all the way to your destination(40mi) turn off the car. now take a pic of the average MPG. if you still got 38mpg, thats amazing.
