I have a sister in law who is on their second Murano. Although I don’t know what year their first one was, I do know they put several hundred thousand miles on it without issues. Don’t know a thing about them, other than the weird convertible variant they came out with was one of the fugliest

Couple weeks ago I see a Challenger in the mirror trailing a cloud. Not a vision obscuring cloud, but still one that I noticed while it was a good bit behind me. Killed the fan and put the heater in recirc to lessen the burning oil smell as it went by. Was surprised to find that the smoke

That sounds like the joke that I read on the net a few days ago. It goes something like this: I was driving down the road and as I passed a lady riding a bicycle I yelled "COW". She gave me a dirty look and the finger. Then she rode smack into the back of the cow that was in front of her.

[MBZ] OT How far can a Nissan Murano go with no coolant?

Was driving this afternoon, there was NM in front of me, I smelled coolant then noticed it was spraying out from under the NM.  I caught up to the car (it was going 50 in a 35) and honked several times and was waving to pull over.  Did not do that, was still spewing some coolant at that point.

Re: [MBZ] Ceramic coating

Sort of like with oil - "any wax is better than no wax" And again, sort of like oil - it depends upon how often you want to change it - meaning cheap wax doesn't last as long so you have to keep applying it. The wipe on liquid Turtle Wax gives a bit of shine but doesn't really offer much

Looks good. However, reading their FAQs brings up one of the reasons why I would never put “coatings” of any kind on my car. It’s near impossible to (completely) remove. If you need paint or bodywork done, stuff like this will wreak havoc on the shop’s ability to have a clean surface to work
