Several Questions

1. Look at the center console. The two places you put stuff at, you'll see a miniature space between them, so basically I have my parking permit and for some reason it got stuck on the very back of the space and with paper clips and everything else I Can't get it out. How do I take it out?

2. Does it piss you off sometimes when Infiniti and Nissan brings out news of a better look car and faster car when we have our funky 4G only 300HP car?

3. I have chips on my front bumper and a some minor scratches on trunk and rear bumper. Would it be smart to just repaint the whole car? I drive at least 500 highway miles a week so I was told some of the chips in the front bumper is from the debris from the highway so that brings up should I even fix the front bumper if its going to fuck up? I don't want a nose bra by the way!

4. If you had to choose between either mod, would you choose between a Tein SS or Tein Basics or get a performance mod like the RV6 J-pipe, 3rd cat delete, etc..

5. Last weekend I changed from Penzoil Conventional to Mobil 1 synthetic and I saw decrease in MPG during the highway and city. Is synthetic making me lose MPG, note: I had at least 100LBS off the car as usual with the synthetic. So 100+ more pounds on the conventional = better gas mileage. Everything is in OK shape, air filter, 93 Octane fuel, etc..

My conventional gas mileage: 70 @ 33-35 MPG - 75 @ 32-34 MPG
My synthetic gas mileage: 70 @ 29-31 MPG - 75 @ 28-29 MPG (with less weight on vehicle)

Both on cruise, no stops



THANKS!

Anyways, got free bumper plugs from a random dealership, the salesman thought that the bumper plugs were overpriced and so he gave me them for free in exchange for a 6 pack of beer
