I think calling them "stupid" ,"not very bright", or "idiot" is kind of harsh. I'm pretty sure we all started out the same way, opting for the special Turtle Wax/ Blue Corral wax rinse for an extra $3.00 at the local carwash. Misinformed or uneducated sounds more applicable in this case; -Not everyone cares or has the time to become OCD Detailers like us. However, that pic does make me cringe yikes! (Yes, I make up the 0.5% of the general population who are labled as OCD detailers)
uhm... no, I'm pretty sure he is stupid. I am not an OCD'er. My truck needs a bath really bad and I rarley wax but I would NEVER use red shop rags on my paint. I wouldn't wish that on a Tundra! LOL If my dumb **** knows this, then I think this person is likely "stupid" qualified. LOL

Nissans are notorious for their soft paint too. I should know, I owned a 350Z in the past. One trip to a "soft touch" car wash will screw the paint all up too. I think people are just not informed or educated in washing their cars, don't understand how easy it is to get swirls etc and maybe don't realize how badly swirls affect the look of a car especially darker ones.

one would think that if you are going to spend such a Large sum on a vehicle or anything for that matter you would educate yourself on how to properly care for it and make it last....

The GT-R is faster than the Corvette Z06, Porsche 911 Turbo & GT3, Ferrari F430, and Lambo Gallardo in a straight line and on the track.
I would not treat a car like that in that way, but then again, to a rich person who could afford such cars, they could probably care less.

like i said slee... i would chock it up to inexperience on his part. i know that he is a college kid. i saw him driving it around yesterday on campus during tailgating. I really dont think that he launched at the full RPM that he could have either. i wish i would have remembered what his 60' was.
