Dude, I got this. I just had Papa John's delivered to my house a few minutes ago.

Touche.  Did you ride one of those Rascal scooters to the door to greet the delivery person?

The front door is about four feet from the couch. I made do without a scooter.

I am still breaking in the engine. It only has 58 miles on it, as of today. In this critical period of cylindrical development, I don't want the piston rings to run wild just yet.
I think around 100 miles, I may see what kind of wheel hop is available.

I test drove a white one with splash guards, but I made them go across town to another dealer and get me a dark blue/green one without splash guards.

We're the guards armed or just unarmed rental pigs?

The guards cost an extra $190 or something stupid. I said no. The only option I wanted was floore mats

... Nissan needs to use these shocks on the GT-R.  It would be like the Incredible Hulk wielding Thor's hammer.... unstoppable.

Here is the only problem with buying a $12,000 car. It needs $1000 in wheels+tires, and $900 in suspensions, then another $400 in tires for the track. Then it is a race car.

I will, bukkake face.

The plan is to sell the OE tires, use the steelies with 205/50/15 Azenis for autox, and get some nice 16" alloys fo the skreet. I'll probably do Tein coilovers, and some kind of rear sway bar. I nerf to look around a bit more at the suspension options.

So I just realized the only option I got with this car ... well, I didn't get it. I figured the floor mats would be stashed in the trunk. Nopes.

I am in the process of fitting a new shift knob, which is why the boot  is loose.

Red!? No thanks. I like red, but I hate attracting attention.

That poor little Versa doesn't know what it's in for. It had its heart set on something harmless like maid-service fleet duty.

Is that the off-road edition with a 2" lift kit?

Yes, yes, that is all good.

But what color does that look like to you guys?
Nissan says it is Graphite Blue.
I think it looks more green than blue, but it may change based on Versa's mood.

I have been impressed with the dinky 4-speaker stereo thus far. Not fancy, but good quality sound and a simple interface.
The first album into the CD player was Mutations - Beck.
There are well placed steering wheel controls and bluetooth phone, but no USB input or bluetooth music. That doesn't bother me much, as I still use CDs.

I almost threw my antenna mast in the trash because it was in the same bag as the never-to-be-used front license plate bracket. I had previously noticed that my favourite NPR station was not so clear.

Still waiting for floor mats.

A 450 gram shift knob will be installed soon. I expect it to smooth out the light and notchy shift action.

Windows will be tinted next. Fuck police.

Then begins the suspensions. Coilovers, rear swap bar, camber bolts, and tires/wheels. Nothing fancy, just race car shit.
