Very, very nice, the Altima really has improved over the last decade.

My Satin White arrived today! Traded-in my '02 Acura RSX (Premium).

I recommended the '08 Nissan Altima Coupe to my sister and next thing you know, I ended up picking it up as well. LOL

The Niagra Grey is hers, 2.5S with CVT & Premium. I have the 3.5 SE, also CVT (I'm sorry) and Premium Package too.

Very nice! built up you say? in for details!:D

Lets see... it has a 2.5 inch turboback exhaust, CAI, short shifter (40% shift throw reduction), APR chip with stock, 91, 93, and 100 octane programs, Neuspeed 28mm rear adjustable swaybar, H&R front swaybar, H&R coilovers, Porsche wheels (18's and staggered, 8.5 inches wide in the front, 10 rear), smoked Helix angel eye projector headlights, smoked sidemarkers, bumper markers and tail lamps.

Hopefully this Christmas I'll get a new turbo inlet pipe and a diverter valve. :)
 
here's my '06 altima. i love it :) it's all stock, i decided not to do anything with it...but its still pretty good, and does all i need it to. plus its got bose for the sound, so im all good :)

No need to be sorry about the CVT, I'd totally get it!

BTW, the new Altima coupes look NICE...good choice!

My girlfriend's mom just bought a 3.5 Altima Coupe about a month ago or so. All options, with manual transmission.

I'm not really a fan of imports... at all. However, it drives really nicely. Also looks good, and is very comfortable for the front two riders. Plus, it's got quite a good deal of get-up-and-go. What is it? 270HP? Either way, I'd recommend the vehicle for sure, even with the little time I've spent with it.
 
Lotus's are really fun to drive, but that is it. It sucks everywhere else. Getting in and out of the Elise and Exige is a chore. Starting it is a chore( why bother having a push button start if you have to turn a key anyway?). Plus, you need to hit the unlock/lock button on the fob to start it. You also need the fob to lock it and unlock it. Can't manually push the thing down to lock it. On the Esprit, to release the E-Brake you have to lift the handle, then press the button to release the brake. Except on the S, the 4 banger sounds like crap( then again what N/A 4 banger sounds good?). But, the clutch is super easy. Not super tight like the C6 Corvette. Though I am getting used to the C6's clutch.

The joy of working at my Chevy/Hummer/Lotus dealership. :) Due to that job, I now hate Hummers. God, they're hard to park. Blind spots anyone( especially the H3)?


Gah, I want that car so badly hahaha just too young to get it right now. I am pretty passionate about my cars hey if that dealer is in PA I will be visiting to pick one up in about 3-4 years. :)

BTW I learned how to use a clutch in my 98' eclipse so I had a rough start w/ my experience with manuals hahaha

IMHO, Lotus's are not worth it. As I said, it is fun to drive, but that isn't enough for me at least to overlook its compromises. You would probably be better off with a Corvette. It has a trunk and is overall more practical to live with. If you don't mind a sedan, I would also recommend a BMW. They're really fun to drive( especially one with the N54 engine :D ).
 
An Elise isn't worth it if you're buying it for space, comfort, interior features, practicality and for a daily driver. But if you want it for a fun car to drive, then IMO, it's very worth it.
 
just bought a 2001 Ford Taurus ES cupple days ago :)

here's a pic:

(sittin on 22's)

the rims are from my old 95 Cadillac i had before.. died with transmission probs :(

I hope you upgraded your brakes... Hmm, also, can you turn the steering wheel lock to lock without the tires rubbing the wheel well?
 
Yea not gonna lie- double deuces on a taurus.


Well, 22" chrome rims I think look ridiculous on any car.

My friend has a 2002 Navigator on 22"s, it looks completely ridiculous.
