I know dude, but they don't list years! Kinda a bad sign I suspect...
Did you know you picked the most expensive on the list, how did you do
that??? $66/bottle for fermented grape juice, what a rip... ;-)
Unless Anthony protest your recommendation I'll let you (and everybody else
wading through this meandering thread) know how it is.
To keep the automotive side of this thread going, here some more innocent
bits: The 350Z drive shaft is carbon fiber, while the suspension links are
aluminum, as is the rear subframe and hood. These parts are used across all
the models, even the $26K base model, though sadly the base model does not
have the all important LSD.
