OCG35's "Grey Ghost" - 2004 Infiniti G35

Vehicle Photos

Description:

My 04.5 AT sedan was initially a business minded purchase - needed to accommodate clients and make 200 mile commutes 2-3 times per week.

2 weeks after purchase, those needs changed and the life of the “Grey Ghost” took a more spirited performance related transition.

The car is constantly evolving - it will never be *done*.

*Thank you to all in my friends list - just about all of them have helped me get the car to where it is!
