Default So long friends

I got a 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5S on Friday. Not exciting, but certainly relieving. Nissan is practically giving these cars away because the 2013s are about to debut with a new body style.

I had been contemplating jumping ship for a while. In the end, the GXP was aggravating the **** out of me. The interior persistently rattled, it has had an incredible amount of repairs for 46,000mi, and the straw that broke the camel's back was the transmission started acting funny on a road trip last weekend.

I thought that I would be more sad to see the GXP go. My new car isn't special but it also cannot possibly be as needy as the grand prix was.

I appreciate everyone's help and inspiration over the years. This community has accomplished a lot for the W-body platform and it is to be commended.

Sorry for the bad pics but I just waxed it and sure enough the rain started to fall. Everyone knows what an Altima looks like anyways, right?

It's gone, mods and all. I didn't care enough to pull stuff off. Someone will get lucky at auction (or unlucky).

Damn, I couldn't let stuff like that go. But that me and why I also buy everything as an extra so I can go back to stock without much effort.
