Alot of people are complaining about it being hard to get into 1st gear and reverse. For getting into first gear if your parked put it in other gears then into 1st, if your going just wait till the gears slow down. Reverse doesnt have syncros so you have to put in into another gear or maybe 1st go forward a little then go backwards. You all probably knew this though...

oh yeah.. about the window thing... my driver's side power window.. when it goes all the way down.. it wont come back up until i keep playing with the switch.. usually takes about 30 seconds.. sometimes a minute.. so what i do to prevent this is to roll it down all the way and once it stops, immidately put it up a little bit.. not so much to where it shows but on the way up.. how ghetto is that??

Unhappy hummm

things wrong with my car...
Had a bad tranny but not any more.
there is a tiny ding in my hood that just pisses me off because i kno some little **** hole kid put it there with a rock when i was at my friends house.
when the compressor is on it idles high making the car really load with the exhaut
one leaky injector...
Other then that my 240 is tight..
quality car never beatin and old lady driven and nissan maintained means a reliable ride.

My right front rotor has a big groove in it and it eats up the brake pad real fast.

Um, that's it...I lose.

MUAHAHAHA!!
