Winter's Coming, So I Put My Hubcaps Back On

I'm just kidding. Winter doesn't exist in Florida.

(also, I'm painfully indecisive and it takes 3 minutes to put them back on). They'll probably be off again in a week.

Honestly, now that the break-in period is over, I'm having a lot of fun hooning this car. It's not Mazda2 tossable, but the HR16DE sounds better than the 2's 1.5L and you always feel like you're going fast, even if you aren't. Also, you can hoon all you like and get 33 MPG, or drive with some restraint and easily break 40 MPG. No batteries needed.

If it weren't for that damn rear bumper, which I can't stop staring at, I'd say that I'm completely satisfied with the car & the service I've gotten.

(Disclaimer: My opinions only stand for 5-speed Versas/Versa Notes. CVTs are the devil.)

Nice photos and weather! Good to know you're happy with your Versa.

Go outside early in the morning and say Florida doesn't have winter.

the only problem with living in florida and driving (other than old people) is that you have absolutely no elevation change at all, There is more elevation change in my town of 25000 (northeren idaho) than there is in the entire state of florida.

Yeah, there's a reason I often refer to it as Flatida.

mhmm, up in the great white north (Idaho, not canada) its like highs of 45, and there should be snow on the ground in a couple weeks.

40 isn't that bad, I mean I'll have a hoodie on, but doesn't exactly warrant hiring a pack of huskies to tow my sled (ha! get it, Panther joke, sled...) to work because it can't get any traction in the snow drifts.

In a couple of days it will be only a couple degrees above freezing. If this trend continues, it could black out the south again this year!

Whats wrong with your bumper?

It doesn't fit very well on the driver's side, and the paint is way off color/finish wise. Dealer says A) all Notes look like that and B) its plastic so it will be different, to which I say A) that's not a good excuse and B) the front bumper matches MUCH better.

Didnt you buy it new? Thats really strange... Maybe try contacting Nissan Corporate? Sometimes they are very helpful

Yeah I did. I have considered contacting corporate, but I don't know what kind of solution to hope for. I mean, if they paid for it to be resprayed, it probably still wouldn't match, the paint on my car is now 6 months old and I'm sure the mix varies slightly for every car they paint.

Check out the difference, just below the gas cap:

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH, YOU FLORIDA PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT WINTER IS. WE HAD SNOW ON HALLOWEEN HERE IN WISCONSIN.

YES I DO KNOW WHAT WINTER IS. IT SNOWED DOWN HERE WHILE I WAS SUFFERING IN PENNSYLVANIA, EXPERIENCING -40 FOR THE FIRST TIME.

And I'm not a Floridian. I just live here, but I will NEVER claim that title.

I bought the car on August 25th and the rear bumper, its slowly driving me insane. Other than that it's a great car. Ugh.

Pennsylvania gets off easy compared to Wisconsin. We had the Polar Vortex last year (soon to be a SciFi Original Movie), where it was so cold the power cable for my battery charger snapped off. Snapped the fuck off! 16gauge 3-conductor wire just snapped from the cold.

Nope. A. I am not from the Northeast or Michigan, or some other far, far away place. B. I'm not an alcoholic. C. I am only 20. D. I'm not a member of the military.

I meet none of the qualification to be a Floridian.
