Everyone please get rid of your 8's so maybe they'll stop production on them and I'll have a semi-rare beautiful peice of history in automobiles. Please do it.

:p

No other gives me the feeling that I get when I get inside. No other makes others ASK to ride in it because they like her so much. No other can hug curves the way she does. No other can go "a little more" in first gear because the RPMs run so high. No other performs BETTER above 4k RPMs. No other gives me sexy winks when I walk towards her. No other begs me to stay when I have to walk away. No other catches eyes on the road like she does. No other gets compliments on the paint job alone. No other looks just as sexy stock as it does with aftermarket kits. No other car can hug you back like she does. No other car has brought so many people different people together like she has.

I don't care if my engine has to be replaced or if a head shield for my gas tank has to be installed. I picked her out for a reason and I'm keeping her.

(*wipes away tears) daisy will you marry me? :o

But anywya to the dude who posted about the trunk, I'll be damned you were right, looks like my lights are flashing again. But there are plenty of other things going on that still indicate a possible future blown motor.
I've done my homework. The recall addresses the back up lights....which are white. It's your amber indicators that flash when you use the fob. Not related to the recall in any way.

BTW, this isn't true. Auto's are also subject to the recall. For more info, check the thread that Sigma and RenoIV linked above.

theres always recalls. if its not one car, its another. theres currently going to be a recall on Nissan Muranos for bad alternators possibly causing accidents. over 140,000 of them. plus the nhtsa is investigating the acura SUVs and jeep cherokees.... lets not forget the huge recalls in the past year for GM vehicles. it happens. it sucks, yes, but at least they are fixing it...

The situation has been resolved, therefore your and all other posts related to the topic are not only completely late but unneccesary and unneeded. So take it somewhere else.

You told us to do our homework in the same post that you declared your lights were flashing again.

You seemed confused......I cleared that up.

Yeah I guess eating wheaties translates into having more energy which translates into being able to press the keys on the keyboard with ease. Good post, tiggerlee, good post.
