Bought a ricer!
This thread will be limited to one jab per member!!!! Keep it clean!
Yes, my wife and I bought a Nissan Altima. BUT, we GOT RID of the FORD EXPLODER!!!!!
She has had 2 exploders since 1998. The 99 xlt model was the best, but in 2001, we bought the new body 2002 xlt because of the 3rd row seat. Of course then the Trailblazer comes out lat that year.
Anyway, the 99 gets an 8 overall, the 02 got a 5. The ride was smoother, but it was a dog and the seats were not comfortable. Several other quirks that we didn't have with the 99. well, all that ended Thursday. Got payoff on the trade, NO ROLLOVER!
Here's what we got:
-2002 Altima 3.5L SE
-7500 miles
-Pewter
-3.5 liter rated at 250 hp (feels pretty much like it to)
-All leather
-Moonroof
-17" Chrome wheels (not bling bling either)
-dual exhaust (well, tailpipes anyway. No fart cannons)
-Bose system with 6 disc in dash changer
-spoiler (NOT A WING)
-all power options. Locks, windows, moonroof, seats etc....
It's really a cool car. Me coming in at 6-1, I can set the driver seat where I want and still sit in the back with out my knees hitting the seats. I'll post some pics later when I get time. Yep, already looking to replace the grill and get a CAI, so get your shots in now.
Oh, and BTW, no racial heavy jokes either, FYI, my wife is half Japanese!

Nothing wrong with the Altima. They are pretty nice. I would have gone for a different color than pewter, but that's just me. I won't get into that unless you want my reasoning. 
Anyways ... congrats on the new ride. Just don't put fat cans and a wing on it and we won't call it rice.
