Before I bought my Mustang, I checked out some new Nissan 370Z's... While I did decide to go Mustang, I have to admit that the 370Z Coupe is one HELL of a buy, for what you all get, if you're looking for a true sporty coupe of the Japanese origin.

I have to consider I get a good discount on Ford products since i worked that. Employee pricing does take a large sum off the price of a car.

I bet! New Mustangs, especially the GT version, aren't cheap! Which is one reason I bought one that was 'gently' used!

I get almost the dealer price minus the delivery charge, and add ons.
One hint, don't buy a car made on the weekend, Friday, and I would say Monday. A Tuesday is a good day.

Mine has been excellent as far as reliability goes! Sometimes I wonder how Ford let this one slip outta the assembly plant! :laugh:

My 98 was a good car, the only issues I had I created by my hard driving around corners, welded the bearing together, and they exploded to little bits :teehe:
When I fixed it ti was like new, and it got totaled because a bunch of drunk Catholics messed up the road.
Loved that car.

The fan in the bathroom stopped working. I am trying to replace the motor but the ones from home depot come with a different plug. Mine is a 3 port. I'm afraid to buy a new fan and not able to install it.

The fans that they sell is a 2 port normal house plug.

If you can get a part number from your fan motor, you might be able to order just the motor & fan. With part number, a Google search should quickly tell you if one is available.

If you can't locate one, you'll probably have to change out the whole unit (housing and all) with a new one.

You've checked that the breaker hasn't tripped?

You either have to do what Mel suggested, or take the housing out, and replace the whole thing.
It should be wired in like any household reciprocal .

One man I saw on tv took all his family to Hawaii, was like 22 of them, or more with his air miles.

Must be a lot of airmiles. Took me and my mom years and years to have enough points for a budget low end blender.

At next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW will display a one-off version of the forthcoming third-generation X6 SUV that's been fully coated in Vantablack paint, in which carbon nanotubes are used to create one of the darkest substances on Earth.

Good luck repairing that BMW X6. I dont think bodyshops will carry that Vantablack paint. Here in Vancouver only 3-4 approved bodyshops can work on Teslas. Customers have to wait over a month for parts.

I think it would be easy to match up since it's black, and not reflective like it is, a lot like a primer.
The accesss to the paint might be the hard part, especially in limited numbers of vehicles produced.
My thought is that insurance agencies would have that car, i think it would be hit constantly when dark being you can't see the thing.
