Car Talk 4: The Richard Hertz Rent-A-Car 500

[D Griff]

Mornin'

Short week this week, holidays and whatnot.
I'll definitely enjoy the time off to get a jump on work on the C5, and around the house that needs gettin' done.

Whatcha doing on the C5?

He's offing it

Whatcha doing on the C5?

Coolant reservoir replacement.
She be leaking.

I replaced mine a while back, $60 Rock Auto unit seems to be up to the task so far. Would recommend.

[Johnny_P]

I fucking love that it looks like a Japanese anime action figure. It's so over the top and I think it's great.

I definitely have ze wants for it in red. The one at the auto show was the Battleshit Grey which looked good as well.

Ah I have not seen one in despair gray. Not many of them in the city. Lots of STIs surprisingly.

I have zero wants for one of these, especially with the C8 nearly here.

now we talking. But im just scared of the general upkeep on something like that. I put it in the same premium as a pcar with less badge whore which leaves me a bit overall. Still love the GTR but not sure its what ID buy if I was shopping the 80k range.

I'm sure it's going to be an awesome car. I have no desire to own one, strangely. That's the cool thing about cars, there are so damn many of them to pick from there is one for everyone!

Oh for sure its a bad decision all around.
But, doggy seat, hitch is available for a bike rack, V6 motor, DCT, still super fast.

[D Griff]

Someone in my neighborhood DDs/street parks a GTR and I always get a kick out of it.

2 days in your hood and someone would rip the wing off, increasing it's appeal and value by 30%.

Nice.

I'm in Vegas this week and chilling.. Going to go out to the Valley of Fire in a bit.

Had my first coffee since August yesterday. Haven't had any caffeine at all so it kinda tore my stomach up pretty good later in the day, but I got a great buzz off it like I can't remember.

So far I've accumulated $12,750 in W2's and only have $1,300 cash left in my pocket. This isn't a good first day summary.

Screw Nissan. The company that can't buy their domain name.... losers.

It's funny though. Back when the GTR came out everyone raved about it for a few years like it was the best thing ever. Now, time has not been kind and the same reviewers trash it not only for being less than the competition today, but claiming "it was never that good anyway, but it was quick.". I've seen probably 5 or 6 videos with the former fanboi's saying that now.

I always thought it was cheap looking, especially at over $100k. They were fast though, if you didn't overheat the tranny. Also, that whole early issue of including launch control but voiding the warranty if you used it was serious LOLs.

Valley Of Fire is pretty rad... probably better in the summer unless you're a skier, but Charleston's Peak is also gorgeous and there's some great driving roads if you ever Turo something fun.

Pretty much just like that.

Yeah, we went once before, but today should be okay for pictures since it will be overcast. Last time the sun was way too harsh to get any pics that were decent and we couldn't stick around until sunset at like 8pm.

Don't camp there just visit for the day and it's probably ok. Valley of Fire Ants. Lots of graffiti and defaced petroglyphs. Lots of people climbing all over shit despite signs not to do so.

That park annoyed the shit out of me. I had 2 nights paid and I packed up and left after 1. Red Rock Canyon was so much nicer.
