Hey who was parked at Northeastern on Saturday night? I was shocked, I was trying to find a spot in the garage 10 miles away from everyone and Bam! ran into (not literally) a Black Nismo with "Andre" on a New York license plate.

Hope you get out alright tommorow, Boston weathers calling for snow!

Do you go to Northeastern as well?

haha no freakin way!!!

Lol, if he does go to NU its too bad he has the custom license plate, or else i was just gonna pawn all the dumb stuff I do in my car off on him.

I mean what are there about 900 Nismos or so in the country right now. Kinda freaky running into one the same exact color, same window tint and everything. Thats like twilight zone freaky.

Hi I ran into you last Sunday, sorry I wasn't very friendly but I had a really bad Hangover and couldn't get a sentence out. My friends told me they have seen another NISMO around Boston that looked like mine, I thought it was funny since like you said its freaky that out of 900 NISMO's we both have the same tints, color and are around the same neighborhood.

Haha don't worry about it, I didn't really have anything to say I was too caught up that I actually saw your car. Looked like an RSX was chatting you up already anyways.

My girlfirend freaked out, she said you looked like Adrine Grenier from Entourage...

But anyways it was nice to meet you, I'm Nick by the way. I'll probably be seeing you around campus sooner or later again.

Do you go to NU?

My name is Emilio, I actually graduated from Wentworth but that parking lot is the only place i think my car is safe on the weekends plus is cheap compared to other places. So how did your car survive the winter? Mine almost got destroyed on the first winter storm

Yea I hear you. I left my car for one day in the open Columbus lot and I found a an empty 30 put under my car. Ever since I always park in that garage unless it is broad daylight and I am 10 miles away from everything.

Winter was tough. Right after I had the argument with my dad that I would be completly fine driving that car in the winter. "How bad could it possibly be" my exact words. He laughed at me for about a week after our first storm, because anything with a 2% incline was impossible, not to mention I didn't switch the tires. Ended up having to park in a random parking lot in Melrose and had him come pick me up.

Now that spring here with this car it is easy to put that all behind me, but I am lucky, because I almost destroyed mine a few times with the black ice and snow... Just barley missed a few curbs, even when I was driving 5 miles an hour.

How about you, are you from upstate NY or the city?

I'm from Long Beach, NY. But yeah I'm happy the weather is changing I couldn't stand all the snow storms we had, not to mention my car kept getting really dirty from the salt and sand that was put in the roads. How is your front windshield? I drive down I-93 to work and I fell like theres a lot of small rocks flying towards me than usual I probably have 3 scratches from small rocks. I used to own a rsx and I didn't have that problem.

Haha thats funny. My last car was an RSX as well. Yea the roads up here are terrible. It's not rocks, its that crappy quick fix tar they put down to fill all the pot holes in the winter. They last about a week, break up and cause all kinds of debris flying on the road. I have quite a few scratches by the wheel wells from all that stuff being kicked up by the tires,and some light scuffs on the windshield. I think I am going to buy a Porter Cable buffer or just pay my local guy to take them out.

I have been getting a ton of people telling me they have seen my car driving around boston but can't figure out why I have a NY license plate.

Be careful in that Garage by the way. It seems no matter how far away I park someone always parks right next to me. I was driving through one night and some guy was parked about an inch from your car. His passanger side was next to you though, I just know I would have felt terrible if I came out and saw a ding in my door.

I'm so pumped its finally nice out. I'm sure I will be seeing you around campus. Do you stick around Boston for the summers?
