I appreciate my car more now.......
 

My car has been in the shop for the latest 2.5 weeks getting some body work repaired. Been driving a Nissan Altima 2.5S rental for all that time and when I got my car back today it felt great.

Nothing like driving a rental for a couple of weeks to make you appreciate what you have.

Things I missed most were simple things like not having music controls on steering wheel, no Ipod integration, no navigation, no traction control....

That being said the Nissan Altima is not a bad car for $20k... Much better than the Chevy Impala they gave me initially that I returned after 1/2 a day.

Congrats I guess, on letting everybody know every small thought that comes into your brain :uhoh

We've all been there... I assume you have mirrors in your home? Talk to them? :1orglaugh

Music controls on steering wheels and Ipod integration in a car will not make us think you are rich.

I post so people like you have something to respond to. It is very important that you think I am rich, that's why I stay in business, to impress people like you !

its quite the opposite for me...

my car went into the dealership to get its winter tires on and an engine checkup

and this is the rental they gave me for a few days:

I love my car too :)

How big is the 350? One of my friends has got a 450h and it is huge.

its very big

i had a hard time backing out of parking spaces

Nice....

aww i dont have it anymore :(

Do you even know that you're alive?

the 450 is the LX, it is much bigger then the rx. The rx is a smaller SUV/Crossover.

I felt the same way after driving a ford flex for 1000 miles on a trip to shoot... when I got back in my cts v coupe I was blown away

RX 450h - only RX you can buy here at the moment. Doesn't seem to be a LX on sale in the UK.


Edit/ just found a picture of a LX450 and it looks like a 15year old Land Cruiser.

That would be smart as hell if dealerships lent out nicer new model cars to people, I wonder how many of them buy after their long ass "test drive"
