First Nissan R35 GTR Lemon?


Edmund's GTR, while posting 0-60 times deep into the 3 second range and getting up to 27mpg, has spent a whopping 12 days in the shop since it was purchased a couple of months ago.

We don't exactly know the details, but if you want to see what a GTR looks like with the rear end and transmission completely, removed, click on the pic above.

Corvette ZR1 Hits Showroom Floors


Socalevo.net user evo989 posts details of the first ZR1 to hit the Chevy showroom he works at. A pristine example shot in black with blue accents, supercharged LS9 motor, and carbon ceramic brakes. Oh yeah, and there's the $117,000 price tag.

Little Body Shop of Horrors


Nissanclub member CrimsonRocket recounts a tale of woe as one of his friends brings an otherwise pristine 350z into the clutches of a certain nefarious body shop deep in the heart of Southern California.

Said shop was commissioned to perform a clean (operative word) install of a urethane lip and sideskirt kit. What the customer received (after being jerked around for weeks) was appalling. Overspray everywhere, pieces seemingly attached to the chassis at random using wood screws. Body panels entirely out of alignment. Orange peel everywhere. The list goes on and on.
