"If you ever get one, you will never sell it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Absolutely nothing. My sister made the battery explode once, but that was because it wasn't tied up well.

General comments?

It doesn't need a lot of gas. I just put like 15 bucks and that means like a week and a half.

It is very fast for a 4 gear car. I have left newer cars far behind with it.

It is made with the hardest steel you can imagine. I once crashed against a bus and I left unscratched.

It never needs water replacing. The water you see today, is the same you saw months ago; it amazes me until this day.

Compared to new cars, this is what Nissan should have kept making.

Yes, I agree with your sentiments about tying your sister down - what did she do, drop a spanner across the terminals?
