Nissan Plant Tour

This weekend I went up to Smyrna, TN to tour the Nissan manufacturing plant that turns out most of the Altimas, Maximas, Xterras, and Frontiers esp in the southeast. It's kinda surreal to see how big these plants are, with a main hall running the length of the plant at nearly a mile long! There are no cameras allowed inside due to trade secrets on manufacturing methods, processes, etc, but we were allowed to pour over the prototype 2005 Xterra out in front. We also got to take a ride in that 4.0L beastie, which included an 80mph drag and a sling around a 50° embankment.
