Cube update

Hey all,

I took the cube in today for its second oil change and found out there were a couple of parts on recall: a tire pressure gauge and door handle. Have you had those parts replaced yet? I also had them do the first tire rotation and fluids, as I'm nearing the 12000 km mark, so my anticipated 30 minute visit ended up being almost 3 hours! I think it's funny that the staff at Abbotsford Nissan know me by name! I've recently added the chrome mirror covers (and love them!) and am currently looking for some chrome door handles to match. Anyone know where to get those?

Anyway, life's been busy. While I enjoy everyday in the classroom, the funnest part of my job is the extra-curricular film program I started two years ago. It has developed into a pretty cool program for the kids. We do live video announcements every morning. The kids do all the filming, editing, and broadcasting, and I think they do a great job. We use a program called BoinxTV, which I highly recommend for anyone doing video blogging or anything like that. Our broadcasts were recently featured on their website as an example of what their software can do. You can check out our school broadcasts at http://www.youtube.com/cmsfilmclub.

One of the boys had an idea for a music video to go along with our school's lockdown procedure. He wrote and recorded the song, and I helped them shoot and edit the music video. Of course, we featured the cube, because it's so gangsta!

I would love chrome handles

Mike, if you do find chrome door handles let me know. I've actually been dreaming about getting some for a while now.

I'll be going on a road trip to the states in Apirl, and I'm going to pick up the mirror covers while I'm down there (accessories seem to be a lot cheaper south of the border).

recall

Yeah when I went in for my oil change, they told me about the rear door handle recall. I need to just call in and book another appointment to get them changed. They only had black handles in stock.

I haven't heard about the tire pressure recall... but I don't have the sensors in my winter set so it really doesn't matter at this moment...

Recall

Apparently my tire pressure gauge was replaced back in April 09 before I even got my Cube. Doesn't seem like much of a problem.

Where did you get the recall information? I've been having issues with my tire pressure guage when the temp drops really low.

No-One told me

You know I recently went to my dealer for my OIL cahange and I actually had to do my Tire roataion as well, no one told me about any recall items or parts...

Hey Mike,

Would love it if you could move this post over to the forum section (definitely in the cube work area) so we can get the conversation started.

Also, love the video program. Super wicked. The chrome mirror shot is pretty sickitating. Have you shown the kids this little ditty? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE
Tell them Spike Jonze has got nothing on them.

Live long and prosper.
