Voted, but it's gonna be difficult to compete with the current 1st place shot. Good luck though.

Entire section devoted to problems? Say it isn't so. http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/350z-problems-troubleshooting/

For obvious reasons.

But I answered your question as to why I drive a Nissan. Nothing?

Don't buy a new Crown Vic. I hear they're having issues with their door trim.

Wow, you are once sensitive fella if you think the comments I made in this thread (other than the one insinuating that your car's engine was getting replaced) were "asshole comments". Sounds like you may have caught your tampon string on the door trim and pulled it loose.

So I'm a "dickbag" because I offer an opinion different than yours on this topic? Ok, gotcha. But to answer your question, I drive a Nissan Maxima because I liked the car. I've owned my fair share of American cars in the past and just so you know, my next purchase will also be American. I never said American cars are great, but I'll tell you what is great. AMERICA!

So, if you're so big on quality, why do you own a '96 Blazer? just curious

z is getting a motor replacement

Ugh...here's what I "get". I don't care whether the Malibu is built as good as my Maxima. I also don't care if my neighbor's M3 is built better than my other neighbor's Monte Carlo. I bought a Maxima over a Malibu because I liked the car more and in 8 years, I've enjoyed owning it. I can't compare it to a Malibu because I don't own one.

I can do a :30 search on Maxima.org and find 30 threads about the VQ35DE burning oil. Point is, they're machines put together by humans. No way are they going to be perfect 100% of the time. This $2 piece of door trim is coming off in 20* temps. Big deal, the rental company will fix it or take it to Ford and they'll fix it. The next person will rent, pick up a hooker and soil the back seat with it. Then the next person after them will complain about Ford and the quality their scotch-guard. Life goes on.

Using Nissan here as an example (since their quality is so much better than "American Cars") http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQNissanQQTitanQQQMIQQDoor_MoldingQQ20042010QQQMISM605023.html?apwcid=P1135867996W43b3f85c7ab9e&apwidUqzXPrH

Are you really that clueless to think that EVERY single car that comes off the line (whether it's American or Import) is going to be perfect?

So Ford manufactures glue now?

I do "get it" actually, but it's foolish to blame this single piece of trim on the overall quality of every American-built car & car company. Let's pick this apart a bit. The car is an '11, so as soon as it left the plant, it has been in sub-zero temperatures, most likely contributing to the 3M double sided tape not adhering properly. I'm sure when the trim was installed at the plant, it was "stuck" on correctly. If you wanna blame anyone, blame the manufacturer of the double sided tape.

Yes, this $2 piece of trim is the sole reason why American made cars suck :gtfo:

fruit, lots of fruit need that fiber

This is what I typically do since they changed.

Went in today and got the points situation squared away. They were able to transfer them to the new account even with the old account being closed. I'm still not pleased about them "losing" my info, but there's not much they can do about that now. I'm still most likely going to go with another bank, but have some research to do prior. Thanks guys for all the input / testimonials.

But in the end, we went another way. http://i.imgur.com/l5gDW.jpg

My step-father is the district commander for the DAV here in town. Maybe I'll get with him to hook me up.

Some may remember that my account was hacked over Christmas and I wound up with a bunch of fraudulent transactions which eventually fell off and the funds were returned to my account. At the end of December, I closed the account I had since I was 17 and opened a new one to eliminate all chances of my info still being available to the guilty party. At the time, I enrolled in the 5th/3rd ID Alert and Monitoring product which allows you unlimited access to your credit scores and reports and monitors your account for any suspicious activity. 30 days free, then $5.95/month. I have yet to receive my membership id# (which you have to have to be able to register) so I called the company that manages the plan (3rd party co.) again today for an update - no record of me signing up for the product (which I did at the branch when I opened the new account). So they suggest I call my bank and inquire further. This is where I begin to get frustrated because I realize a few things while I'm on the phone with my branch. They did not transfer my rewards points over to the new account at the end of December so I may have lost out on over $500 worth of rewards. The "excuse" the manager gives me for me not getting enrolled in this program in a month's time is that, "once a quarter we misplace a piece of paperwork or two during their scanning process before they send off these documents to other organizations" - such as this ID Alert group I just got off the phone with. So, 5th/3rd in an attempt to help me keep my info secure and allow me access to monitor my information, they have misplaced the document I signed that has my name, address, account # and signature on it. And her suggestion to remedy this situation is, "just stop back in and we can re-enroll you in the program and send off another document with all of your information". How fucking dumb do you think I am lady? Long story short - I need a new bank.

A few minor flickers last night, but hasn't gone out yet.
