Fair enough. But I must say, those elbow patches look nice on your tweed jacket. You must get a lot of compliments at Jaguar conventions, eh grandpa ?

:p

Texas, remember? No tweed jacket or flat caps here. :D

And we have burnout contests in the parking lot. :D

I believe you'll find Audi has racing heritage, in previous forms of Auto Union well before Jaguar came into the scene.

Henry Ford himself raced the first car to bear his name.

It's still an Audi, who has loads of racing heritage.

The point is that he was denigrating my Pathfinder as being shit, which has a racing history, whereas he's driving an S8, which has none.

All that rave and rant about Jaguars, heritage, craftsmanship and the overall awesomeness of the marque...

That was a sympathy vote - the Italians lost their own show in 2008 as nobody attended. :D

Dear Nissan: If you're going to put a lock in the chain holding the spare tire, make sure you provide the key aswell.
 
i think a November '09 truck (uncle's) can still be classified as ?new? ;)
Seriously though, it is rather annoying that they didn't send a damned key. luckily it was one of those locks you can break with a hammer so, it was more of a passing annoyance.

Someone screwed up, then. Unless it was something the dealer put on, that is.
Otherwise, all the keys for all the locks a Nissan was built with are in the vehicle when it leaves the factory.
 
I've always wondered what people do with the owner's manuals when they trade in a car. The last two used cars my parents bought didn't come with any. Are Acura RSX and Honda Civic manuals in high demand these days, or what? :?

Often dealerships pull them out of the cars when they take them in trade and file them with the documentation. When the cars go to auction, the manuals get tossed.
 
That's why i nicked the Manual in my dad's S-10, trouble is, i forgot where i left it.

On other note, i want a Shelby Daytona, popup hadlights, Digital Dash, pilarless doors, sign me up.
