    Great job!

    I hope your friend lays off the launch control, apparently the tranny's are breaking on those cars and nissan is trying to void the warranty work which is 20k!

    The gloss on that car is insane on that video! I find that car looks much better in person and in videos than it does in pictures.

    Great job!

    Well done Carlos, the videos look great. I was looking forward to your full detailed write up though, but the videos turned out great. The vehicle sure has much more gloss compared to when you brought it over, impressive. I'm glad your putting your Mac and Final Cut Pro to good use.

    Thank you for the compliments guys :peace:

    Oh that's one thing I forgot to say, the vehicle rattles allot...I mean for a brand new vehicle it sure had quite a bit of noise too it. The head mechanic at the dealership said that that was normal :confused:

    As for the faulty transmission, it doesn't really surprise me. I mean it's the first generation so I'm expecting a few bugs to pop up.

    See that's one thing that bugs me, the dealerships are being so anal about what you do with the vehicle, where you can take, how hard you push it..:bla2: :bla2: I don't like that..but such is business I suppose.

    I'm glad the videos worked out, I've been working on getting the videos to load properly and I think I finally got it...now just to increase the size of the screen :gidiup:

    Good work, buddy. I'm still glad you're not keeping it and are looking at the other options :D. I'll call the RIV monday to look into that other car, we may even have to get two of them :p

    Yes, let me know what you find out from the RIV. I'm really curious and it would be a blast to have two vehicles coming in, fun...fun..fun :cheerl:

    Just saw one down the road about 1 hr ago from my house. Now i have to find out who the owner is and see if someday i can detail this fine piece of machinery!

    I saw my first one when I was driving home the other day, it was silver. I didn't really get a good look at it, but it isn't all that impressive looking at first glance. Maybe I'll like it more when I see it up close or in a more exciting color.

    Yes, regretably I couldn't do the full detail on it due to my friend being really ancious to get his hands on the vehicle..but I dont' blame him.

    Hopefully I'll be visisiting him shortly and I'll be able to spend more time with the vehicle :beg:

    :nod: I agree, I too am not a fan of the dark colour rims but this vehicle pulls it off quite well :thumb:

    Glad you enjoyed it, yes engine sounded quite good when starting it up :thumb:

    I say time to start stalking the vehicle :whistle:

    That's the thing with this vehicle, the more time you spend with the vehicle..in my case semi detailing, the more I actually liked it. It just grows on you I guess :shrug:

    Oh and seeing it in pictures is completely different compared to seeing it in real life or sitting in the driver seat and taking it for a spin. When I first saw the vehicle I honestly didn't care for the vehicle but after detailing it I can appreciate the exterior a bit more...but I still say it's not worth the $100k price tag :hmph:
