Shortly after receiving his 240SX, he performs an oil change. With a snap of the fingers, it is found covered with young shoots of a tree (!) and mud. After some research, he realizes that the car was previously at the heart of a flood on the ground of a dealer in Connecticut. Not once, but twice, the japanese manufacturer has attempted to pass a fur-tree.
