Hand job friendly? Ray, I know you directed that at MT since you would never say that about IL, right? By the way, we're about to sell ours, why don't you convince Nick to buy if for you. The EIC of his car site deserves it, no?
If I may connect the dots:
1. GTR
2. Bonneville
3. 25 Expensive Gov Crash Test Videos
4. Flaming Kia
Move over Song of the Sausage Creature, the greatest review of all time is being conceived.
Now Ray, you can drive it like you stole it. But just make sure you have it back in the garage by midnight. And I don't want to see any tears come breakfast.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Why can't I (must I) promote my own post?
Where are my superpowers naow? If I have to, I'll promise to never lick my own ice cream cone ever again. No one cares? Oh, cool.
No, wait, I CAN lick my own ice cream cone!
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Whatever the case, Nissan's refusal to supply a car increases Jalopnik's street cred quite a bit. Conspiracy theory: related to the secrets hidden by the nefarious high school reunion cover-up?
Also, that was awesome.
@skitter: Naw, there's just something hinky about alla thems' left legs. Think I'd lend them my car?
Alternate conspiracy theory: There never was any High School involved. 1. Failed out of 8th grade shop class and went directly to stock clerk/loose joints dealer. 2. Accepted to Princeton directly out of 7th grade. Went directly to opium merchant, classics scholar, lacrosse champ, and loose joint dealer.
Either way, it's all win, so long as I can keep them away from my clutch.
To paraphrase Mugatu... "I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE"
Everyone who makes a stupid and incorrect joke about the transmission should just walk out now. Go back and re-read the actual stories about the transmissions that broke. I believe it was 1% or less of all GT-Rs produced, and it happened on the ones where idiots did 20+ launches back-to-back-to-back-etc... NOTHING can handle that abuse.You will fry any car if you do that.
The only acceptable jokes are warranty or 'Ring time/Porsche related.
You people all want a manual gearbox? You would blow that up long before you hurt the current system.
Go drive one and get back to me...
Buying a stock GT-R you are throwing all warranty concerns to the wind. If you're gonna break something on your own dime, make it worthwhile. Switzer, I salute you.

Yeah, exactly two people'll get this, and neither will find it funny. So what.

@Goodthymes: The Skyline's had those for years. (The C110 above was made from '72-'77.) The Cobalt's ass is a really terrible Corvette knockoff.
