It really is one of the most ungainly looking and disproportionate looking SUVs on the road.

This doesn't so much fall under automotive design as it does architecture. And it isn't very good architecture.

He must also like the 4WD Tercel then. Actually being honest, I like the 4WD Tercel an awful lot and got excited when it appeared...

I think the fixed it, a little to chromy for my taste but nothing says "I only can afford this because lease" and " I'm a Long/Staten Island (you chose) douche like acres of chrome on a giant beluga whale.

I don't mind the basic shape because, you know, Nissan Patrol, but the Infiniti styling changes really hurt the overall look. The whole front end looks way better on the Nissan version thanks to the flatter hood and more traditional grille/headlights. The Infiniti styling details (bulbous front end, etc.) and chrome bits look really garish.

I'm in Nissan country (Nashville) and it seems like every exec's spouse drives one of these with obvious fleet tax plates on it. They are fuckin ghorrible to look at in addition to the fact that everyone on the road here is oblivoius to their surroundings at all times.

I just think there are many worse looking cars. The Aztec isn't attractive but next to a pt cruiser convertible it looks pretty reasonable.

When you get into the rare elite of bad, it becomes hard to tell what's worse. It is a hideous fuckin' CHUD, that is for sure.

Yes.

There a guy in my neighborhood that drives one. And even with the help of their 360 degree cameras. Guy still can't get it into one parking spot. I always see it halfway into another spot or sticking out 2 feet into traffic.

Good luck. I have applied several times to no avail, then when I land somewhere else they contact me through a recruiter to come interview for a position. <——ANNOYING!

Hmm, I applied for a couple IT positions this summer and got to the final round of interview for Citigroup's technology infrastructure division last year. I may have some questions for you in the future…

You can't appreciate how insane this thing is until you see it next to other cars, for scale. It's madness. I saw one in the Safeway parking lot and just stood and stared for a probably a full minute.

What's your field in the IT sphere?

Hmm kind of a tough question. Honestly it's kind of something I fell into by accident. I'll be graduating in a year with a degree in economics, but I have no desire to do academic research/econometrics, and I'm good with computers so when I went looking for internships that's what I was able to get. I'm kind of reticent about pursuing it as a career path since I don't have a formal education in the subject, but the roles I've gotten/been considered for have primarily had to do with the business and management side of things. Doing stuff like cost studies, making sure things like software and how people use it are integrated into business practices without making processes less efficient, project management. I've applied for non IT positions as well so I guess we'll see what happens.

Kind of random, but I guess careers are difficult to predict. I'm in a weird area in my life right now in that respect haha

Really all that matters in IT is who you know, what certs you have, and what your position has been in the past

It's like a land cruiser crashed through the stick-on car accessories aisle at Walmart and some stuff...stuck.

But as El_Uly The Benevolent says, someone apparently likes them.

Also, a lot of places only want someone with a specific specialty and tend to shy away from someone with a wide scope experience basis.

There are quite a few of us here I've found. Sorry, don't really have any names though. I've been meaning to take my boys out there but haven't done it yet. They want to go on the first Saturday of the month to see the exotics.

No kidding. I've never been one to cert-up, but who you know and what titles you've had in the past have always been huge for me. Out of the last 4 jobs I've had I've only interviewed as a formality just to make HR happy. I've been doing IT since starting on a helpdesk in '96 at 19. Moved from Mobile to Brentwood 2 years ago because I had a connection. That doesn't mean I'm not qualified for the position, just that connections are critical.

Wow, we should connect further. I am in a consultant role at a job I was excited as hell to get, but then there was a massive layoff (17 people total) and I was literally the last in. I certed up in CCNA, CCNP, MCITP and MCSE while Iwas on active duty on the Marine Corps. Sadly, they are all expired now and my cost of living is too high to go back to school right now or to use the post 9/11 GI bill for one of those IT academies.

This has put me in a tough and also I guess good situation, since they hired me as a consultant after they laid me off. But I have got to find something permanent or work my way into the Oil drilling field ricky-tick.

There should be a nashville.jalopnik.com just like there is a detroit, not so much for the city specific stories but so we can find each other. Or maybe we can just tell stories about lanes, nissan and the frequent exotics running around here. Saw an orange Aventador the other day at Franklin pike and Maryland way... Driver didn't look like anyone special.

HA they never do. Between interviews a few months back, October I think, I saw a blue roadster aventador in Cool Springs like a mile form where I live.
