All good man it kind of sucks with AT at highway speeds cause cruising on the turn pike at 80 the rpms are around 3k which are a little high for cruising IMO. Cant wait till i go 6mt cause the car will actually have a useable 1st gear and highway cruising will be much better.

Actually the 6mt is about the same at 80mph, 3k. That's the first thing I noticed when I got this car, even the 6th is still pretty short

Because apparently Nissan does not understand "cruising gear"

My Slam pig is getting some love this week.

I have 5% all around, but I would never touch the front windshield.... 50% is better than 30% just be careful...

Damn dude you got lucky..... 80+ in a 40?! That was WAY worse than me.... I had 78 in a 55 and my ticket was $250

I still have to call ticket clinic. I did get my extension though.

Kinda back to normal. Got the IPL front on but waiting for the slim washer tank to put the fogs in. No CF grille or headlights until I send them off to be done. But not sure if I am going to do that or go another route yet.
