Mechanic is going to check it out.

Clock works occasionally. On this occasion it does not. Cassette player works perfectly.

Shifting this is kinda like playing softball. I should dye the leather neon green and the stitching red.

$0.70 refund baby!

The seat belt light is on because...

...the plastic surround is missing from the seat belt latch. The light goes off if I depress the plunger in the switch that is flopping around. I’m assuming somewhere in the plastics is a tab that slides into the switch

Is the camera you used to take the photos the same vintage as the car?

Was going to say, looks like photos I used to take on my LG Envy 2.

Yeah, I’m not a very excellent photographer. I’d blame this on user error.

I was in the car and thinking about it so I took pics.

Yay! I missed the original post of you getting it.

I saw y’all still had the window sticker. The Nissan dealer didn’t give my sister the sticker to her Rogue, which was weird. My sister just thought it was something the dealer threw away. I need to go back and get it.

My wife and daughter are in love with it. Just a couple little things to fix up but in general it works well. Engine and transmission work well. It’s super comfy like driving a big marshmallow .

Sorry, it just really bothers me when people do things that aren’t driving  when they’re supposed to be driving.

Haha my 16 year old knows what a tape is. It was the p erfect format to provide audio to greasy fingered children. She has a one of tho se yellow S ony walkmen and a stack of Disney cassettes.

That’s reasonable. I figured I’d just try to wind you up instead of justifying myself.

Let me assure you I was the only car around when I was taking pictures and I clearly didn’t frame them well or hold them still.

Remember when CDs first came out and everyone treated them like they were made of uranium-infused glass? I guess that’s the norm when people were make $3/hour and CDs were almost $20.

How far we’ve come...

People talk about wagons on here a lot, but there’s something nice about being able to carry a rolling chair and a mini fridge (standing up) in your car at once. That’s why crossovers are great, and that’s why my sister wanted one again (her old Rogue didn’t have a lot of space for a crossover, but it could still carry. This new Rogue she has is HUGE).

Good find, especially for the money.
