Kcflyer I really like these. In Soul Red of course :) By the by, this week I had a new altima rental for two days and now another Rogue. It is amazing how cheap the altima felt compared to the rogue. The Rogue feels and looks more premium in every way from power train to interior noise and finish. I prefer sedans to SUV's in general but if forced to buy a Nissan it would be the Rogue over the Altima.
Redapple2 Good. A strong Mazda is good for all we car aficionados. Does anyone want to hear about the huge POS Equinox I rented last week. Brutal...........
Mister "Standard 5-speed transmission" was kind of a big deal in the era. An S-10 or Ranger came standard with only 4 forward gears.
MRF 95 T-Bird That sliding rear window is salvageable since it’s a universal flexible unit which fits the other small trucks of the era.
2manyvettes At a Tesla supercharger is near my house, I encountered a Nissan Leaf that pulled in and two hapless individuals discovered that they could not recharge there. Where I live, there is one charging station outside the county courthouse downtown and two more in the parking lot in a shopping center, but I do not know what kind they are. I do not know if these individuals ever found more elctrons. An object lesson in the nutball push for EV's.
