TBracks new Cube

I traded in my Q45 for a Cube! As soon as I got it I had to go out of town, when I get back in a couple days I hope I can try to figure out what I want to do with it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I love the way the rear window wraps around the side. It makes the vehicle a-symmetrical, but I personally dig it. Nice score.

My windshield is already cracked but it will be replaced under warranty and I am trying to push for Nissan to make them stronger.

Other than that this car is so fun to drive and everywhere I go people stop and stare. I can't wait to drop it and make it look really nice!

Did the Q45 fall under the "clunker" program?

Yep! I was at Import Alliance in Nashville with my Q and my transmission went out (luckily I still had 1st gear). I had the choice of dumping more into a monetary black hole that the Q was or get a new car. Due to time restraints I couldn't strip the whole car but I got most of the important stuff out and took it to the dealer.

Well I got my hands on a G50 bag setup right before my Q died on me so I was gonna sell the airstruts and get bags for the cube and use the old management setup. Whatever I do won't be for a while though, my new business is in it's infancy and funds are a little low.

I don't think Japan's roads have the rocks and stones problem we have here. they even hose down trucks coming out of construction sites to get the dirt and rocks off the bottom as well as cut down the dust issue. they're so smart.

I hate seeing trucks come out of build sites throwin rocks and mud everywhere. I always wanted to dump a load of mud on their driveways.

Im interested to see where the build goes, keep us posted!

Looks good 808. Money is tight in this economy so I've had to put the mods on hold for now. Keep me updated though.
