Hot enough for ya? Does anyone else want to whine about the lack of power in this heat? Sorry, just had to vent a bit! Is it this hot everywhere or are we just priviledged?

Understandable--though we are only 28% humidity today (luckily!)

Sometimes I multi-task too.

Will Crest work on Nissans or just Infiniti. I picked up my car yesterday and the air bag light came back on after 26 miles. This will be trip #6 for the forkin air bag light! Bankston always treats me very well. But maybe it's better for the dealer to be ****** and fix the problem than be nice and have to keep comming back for the same problem. They promised me a loaner next time, so I guess one more chance.

I can't say for sure. I don't think they would turn it away, since it's basically the same as an I30. See what Bankston can do for you, and you might call Crest and inquire. My buddy is a Caddy tech, or I would ask him. I know a GM dealer will work on most GMs, I don't see why Nissan would be different?!?

Thanks, but never mind. I got it fixed for good today, swapped my AE for a 2k4 SE 6spd with everything but nav. I can't get over how much nicer it is than my 5th gen. I don't know if it's faster than... If it is a little slower than a 2k3 et al, it makes up for it in so many other ways. The only thing that I don't like about it is the grille. I may have to do something about that one day.

I guess I'm off to the 6th gen forum, or maybe I'll just stick to the stock trader forums. We'll see. I didn't get interested in the 5th gen forum until I started having some problems with mine.

NYC metro area has been under water for the better part of 2 weeks now, so 102 degrees 28% humidity sounds good.
