I think it's funny when the instructor puts his hand on the hot barrel at the 27 second mark. You would think an instructor would know better.
Yes, but sometimes we have stupid attacks that allow us to do incredibly stupid shit. I know....done that.

I love Nissan's. I always call them the poor mans Hondas and Toyotas! Pretty easy to work on and just reliable. IMO. I have had 6, and all have been very good.

Structural Failure: The project's structural engineer of record, G.A.C.E., stated that critical steel column reinforcements—designed to support the weight of the additional floors—were never installed on the 21st floor where the buckling occurred
This video provides an update regarding the partial structural collapse at the former Pfizer headquarters in New York City (235 E. 42nd St), which occurred on July 7, 2026. The building was undergoing a conversion from office space to 1,605 residential units, involving a significant vertical and horizontal expansion (0:00 - 0:53).

The building was undergoing a conversion from office space to 1,605 residential units, involving a significant vertical and horizontal expansion (0:00 - 0:53).
Key takeaways:
- Structural Failure: The project's structural engineer of record, G.A.C.E., stated that critical steel column reinforcements—designed to support the weight of the additional floors—were never installed on the 21st floor where the buckling occurred (0:56 - 1:26).
- Developer Perspective: Nathan Berman of MetroLoft Developers initially suggested the issue was a strictly structural error, potentially due to human error in the construction sequence or oversight during the reinforcement process (1:34 - 2:15).
- Investigation and Impact: The project is currently stalled, and the city has launched a criminal probe into the incident. The New York Department of Buildings is investigating not only this site but potentially other projects by the same developer. The building currently requires extensive temporary shoring, and the developer has indicated that the affected upper floors will likely need to be removed and rebuilt (5:58 - 12:54).
- Construction Oversight: The video emphasizes the importance of the construction sequence, the role of special inspection agencies, and the systemic risks involved when critical structural design intent is not properly executed or verified during construction (6:20 - 10:35).
I remember my Dad buying a Datsun, had it hauled back to the Dealership when the engine blew, which was within a week of having it. He got all his money back. So I heard him preach about Nissan over the years.
BUT, our daughter has had 3, well now four with her Infiniti QX80 and her husband just got an Armada.
Only older people know about the Datsun issues, my wife told me she had one too. Always wondered why they called them Lemons, the sour taste left in your mouth?
My Dad was a master mechanic. He purchased one of the first Datsun pickups that was available in Lubbock, Tx. He loved it. Of course, being who he was, he spent an entire weekend in the garage (with beer) taking it apart, putting it back together just to see how it worked. He loved it. Just like me...I have bought two Chevy pickups...both were huge POS"s and the attitudes I got at the dealerships were even worse. Never again. I get it. Burn me once, shame on you........
My ex-wife drove a baby blue '80 B210 wagon from '80 to '89, it was a good little wagon much like the image below. The 1.4L 4 banger with CA emission couldn't pull a hair out of a gnat's ass but the liitle engine ran like a sewing machine. Honestly when at idle you had to put your hand on the air cleaner to know if it was running, it was so quiet.
Merging onto a 70 MPH interstate was a challenge....you had to execute your attempt a couple of minutes ahead it was so gutless. It was a 5 speed and I imagine the automatic was even more sluggish..
Traded it for a new '89 Ford Aerostar van and gave it to ex-wife's nephew who drove it another 5 or 6 years and also had no issues with it.
Dad also had one of the first toyota corolla's in Lubbock. He had this huge toy windup knob with a suction cup on it...he stuck it on the truck and drove around town like that with it. It was more of a toy and curiosity more then anything.
Something like this but it was beige. Was a good car but rode like 'shit'.
