The Infiniti dealer started work on the car yesterday and she should be done by Feb the 15th, guess a late sorta valentines day present for me (LOL) The damage wasn’t really all that bad, they are replacing the bumper, hood, grill, headlight’s, and the passenger fender and passenger door, motor mount’s and the radiator, belts of course, and the front cover thing, the oil pan was knocked loose and dented so they are replacing that as well and several fuel lines that was broken and the transmission fluid was a broken line so there was no damage on the transmission (thankfully) of course there is tons of other small things here and there they are fixing also, all for the low cost of 9600.00 I was like wow that’s lovely!
I was trying to be sneaky with getting the car repaired and not telling my parents as they always net pick things to death with the cars and since they used to work at Infiniti, anyhow my wonderful mom had called up Ron (my old salesman that sold me the G35) and he asked what she thought about my G35, she said oh I like it, but I wish he would have waited and got the 2 door, but he drives it all the time and loves it and has been a great car with no issues at all this far. Ron said well his car should be ready soon, she said what, anyways she found out and I got a nice phone call.
I changed the Transmission fluid on the sentra and the car runs a lot better now (or should say shifts) I think or still believe I have a bad mount I need to track down because of the jerk when its moved into park. I went ahead and changed the fluid even after reading all the scary write ups about if its not been done, my last time to have it done was 47-48k miles ago, there was a very small very small amount of silver in the fluid, I have driven the car more than 500 miles since then and so far all is well still (we giver her a few more hundred before we say she is ok tho) I still haven’t been able to track down the weird sound she is making that comes from the belt area (only after she gets warmed up I noticed) she still drives like she did back at 100k, well besides for a harsher ride now days. I have noticed that since I have got most of all the behind service done she don’t shift on the larger hills anymore unless it’s a Hugh hill (Oklahoma has hills not mountains) she used to kick out of lock up on a semi large hill and then on large she would go from OD down to Drive,
My last trip in her on Tuesday to Dallas and back to Okc running the cruise 75-80 she averaged a 36 almost 37mpg, Haven’t seen those figures since around the low low low 100k mark. The past few trips with combined driving is making me very happy with her again!
I am going to fight the ticket and worse comes to worse I will do the online driving school (ticket cost+35.00 school) That way I can keep my lower rates and safe driving record at least. I get multi cars, home and life, safe driver discounts now and don’t want to mess it up as it’s rather cheap for me that way.
Thanks guys,
Donnie H.
