Nothing Like A Mini.

Just bought my 04 MCS, leather, nav,sun roof a little over a month ago. Bought it used with 4k on it for 23k @ a Nissan dealer. Traded in my 04 Tahoe Z71 fully loaded and never looked back . So glad to be to modding again. Before the Tahoe I had a 93 camaro Z28. dumped about 30k in it over 4yrs with a 12 speaker 5k sterio "Nothing like modding". was built for the 1/4. low 12sec car. Then while street racing in northern CA mid track in 3rd gear. BAM !$!$# dear jumped in front and nothing could be done. Call me a lucky one. did not total the car but it should have. Sold it anyway. Belonged to a site just like this www.Z28.com. So looking to do allot of reading and allot of posting. Live in South Sacramento Ca now.

First thing I had to do was Tint all the windows. Man to these things like to get hot sitting in the sun. Not sure I really enjoy the sun roof now. Sun and the extra weight might be more of a downside than the free flowing air. So look forward to talking and modding here at NAM.

Congrats, That seems like a pretty decent price considering I have seen similar 2004's for over 25K. What NoCal Nissan Dealer did u get it at ?

i live in Phx. I put some limo tint on my sunroof. Along with the window shade (and A/C), it stays very comfortable during the height of the heat

congrats, welcome on board, and now I have to ask the questions:

1. When you say "DEAR":
A) do you refer to an animal that associates with both urban life and wild life and loves staring at your headlights?
B) a beloved one, a person you really like?
2. If the answer is A,
DID YOU KILL THE ANIMAL? Very important in NAM community (we all wait for hunting season to open so we can head on to deers)
If the answer is B,
-----------------sorry about that....

Hey dude,

welcome again ... Pics pls

Answer A "DEER"

Killed it?? "Yes" hit it so hard that I sling shot it about 200ft in front after i hit it. I have to thank the animal though. It brought me to the Mini comunity. :smile:

kept it?? "no" but a close friend said it was gone the next day and a week later offered me some deer jerky

Will have pics in soon. Still doing allot of reading (catching up) here on Nam

Hmmmm....perhaps this portion of your comment belongs in the Food ****! thread in the Off Topic Forum!

(Shameless plug!)
