We Need Nissan – Stop Acting Like We Don’t

Dear car enthusiasts, Youtubers, and media: We Need Nissan. Stop acting like we don’t. My first car was an indestructible 1989 2-door Nissan Sentra E. It was handed down from my parents during high school. I wouldn’t call it ‘a gift’… but I certainly was excited for...
