We found out the whole history of my car. Ex rental car from hertz. Bought at auction, AND its a lemon. More sh** needs to be replaced, its very wobbly, and frankly, is starting to **** me off. i dont want to drive this thing to 100k like orginally planned with all this crap going wrong (people are reporting these cars over 100k with MINIMAL fixes) and mine is acting like its got 250k on the clock.
That and im saving up over the winter. Going to work again and save a few grand. Then ill just sell it outright next summer on another G (a coupe most likly with a 6mt that i KNOW wasnt beat on, im going to do more background research this time now that i know more) for around 20k and keep that threw college and into my adult life.
I just cant afford all these fixes my car is requiring. Its just making me broke.

I am curious to know how it is categorized as a lemon and what specifically you are having issues with?

in terms of the nismo Z entering...
... they probably would let him in, but being the type of show this is, the car almost needs to be modified to fit in... not that it wouldn't be nicer than some cars there, but it is no exotic and I think people would question why it was there/let into the show being a stock car.... just my thoughts for what it's worth
