    If you have the ability to "return" the 4 I would. The 5 was a pretty significant upgrade in usability and capture quality. Also, I maybe able to get a 6 at wholesale cost.. if you are interested.

    I had slight understeer prior to the new rear sway bar, and I've not really had an issue with torque steer. My biggest issue right now is the hard bound of allegedly blown front struts. Hoping the Bilsteins help that :)

    Now you tell me! After I've bought a 4 with all the bells and whistles. (remote, LCD back, batteries, cases, etc.)

    I would have been.... a week ago. Too late now. I'll just have to be happy with what I've got.

    Well if you decide you need anymore, let me know. Also, I have a ton of different covers etc so before you buy anymore of those hit me up and I can probably send some to you.

    Haven't had one of those to worry about going on four decades. Found out the hard way that I preferred girlfriends over wives.

    Took GIR to the garage on Friday to get rid of a Tuner Coffee Can exhaust imitation he had going. Seems I cracked a weld, so it was a quick fix and didn't leave me broke.
    Spent yesterday afternoon parked under the carport, pulled out the vacuum and cleaned the inside. Cant wait for a brake in the rain, he really needs a wash.

    Yeah I think I may wash my car this weekend and then detail the wife’s SUV over the weekend and coat it.

    Yes, I details cars but have never fully detailed and coated the wife’s Lexus RX 350 and it sits outside as my MINI owns the garage. Don’t get me wrong I wash.it and stuff but never a really good full OCD detail. Maybe this weekend since I am off until Wed the 30th. :rolleyes:

    And yes @MCS02 - I should have the engine ready for the dusty 88 in the background... boys (and my buddies).. are starting to add their opinions.. unlike the GP2... that car has a name.. Here is a pic of that..

    Had a bit of an exciting drive into work this AM. I'm also surprised at the abilities of the new-ish Maxima's, in a straight line. Once we hit a long, kinda hard (at about 95-ish) bend he hadda slow down :) A while back I had a run in with one of those V10 Ram's in the same 2 mile stretch of highway, only this Maxima didn't get as close to kissing the wall as that truck did. Note: I don't promote racing on public roads. It's dangerous and I'll prolly end up like Paul Walker some day. I just get upset when someone rides my ass, and always get the urge to get on THEIR ass in return to let them know they hurt my feelings..... Then things usually escalate. I realize I need help.... I wonder if there's AA like groups for people who have road aggression issues.....

    That can only end well for you. Life is too short to worry about such carp.
