Thanks Dave! That post was crazy helpful. It does run well but, finding a local sentra that's the same model has already proven to be difficult in the past. It's currently my only means of transportation so I will continue driving it (obviously keeping its weakened structure in mind). Also, I think it's fairly safe to say that I should not have any back seat passengers. Defiantly going to invest in a new car in the near future. I'm a bit nervous about driving it now. What might it look like when it does give? I ask because I can't imagine anything that doesn't result in a catastrophic wreck.
