My truck rides like new again thanks to new upper and lower ball joints and struts with new springs and new rear sensitrac shocks. I replaced the wheel bearings last year. Also got a brake flush done as well, all done yesterday.

'06 headlight out=$1300 dealer quote
Anybody see Paul Brand's "Motoring" in the auto section of the Strib Saturday? Sounds like a local dealer quoted $1300-wonder what dealer and what else to the story. Dan
Are they investigating?

Q: Need some advice for my daughter and her husband. They bought a 2006 Nissan 350Z — smart folks, ’cause they won’t let me drive it. No problems with it, but a headlight quit working. The Nissan dealer wants $1,300 to replace it. Any comment or suggestions? This seems sort of excessive.
A: I’d suggest that you offer a much less expensive fix in exchange for driving privileges! According to my ALLDATA automotive database, this Nissan is fitted with xenon HID headlamps. Nissan service bulletin NTB10-061A dated June 2010 suggests that a failed headlamp bulb, about $180, or HID control unit, $400-$500, is the most likely cause of an inoperative headlight. Even with an hour or so of labor, that’s a far cry from $1,300 to replace the entire headlight assembly. There’s a very good chance you can solve the problem, save them money and, most important, end up with driving privileges! Remember, I’m an instructor for the Skip Barber Racing School — you’d have lots of fun learning how to properly drive that performance car!

There's a black G35 that's got at least 1 turbo that I know of. MAP bought it from a private owner a while back.
sorry, I meant as far as coming on Ripley. I work at Camp, the only other G's I've seen here is my buddies sedan and other buddies coupe, neither are boosted.
tom sold him his twin turbo G, through a round about way earlier this year. It was since resold. Not sure where it ended up.
just saw it my commander doesnt work at ripley full time so it was just last weekends drill. dont know what color it was he just said it was a boosted g unless they mounted a i/c for fun lol
