Thanks.

The Tirerack link didn't work for me for some reason but strangely enough works now. Probably my company's proxy server, it's been doing strange things all week.

Re: Performance surcharge on insurance??

The 03 Altima has a much larger engine in it than the base model and thus the insurance company charges you extra for owning a "sportier" Altima. All Max's have the same engine so any "sport"...

Re: Re: Re: I'm too stupid to check my own oil it seems, and also another question.
