I had to leave her.

I got rid of my 04 G35 coupe. It was a difficult divorce but I had to move on!She was my second coupe and I wanted to try something different.Infiniti definitely had a winner with this one as well as the new 08 coupe which I predict will do GREAT in sales on anticipation alone.For the money you can't beat these cars! The G was my daily driver but in the winter months in NEW YORK I stayed with a shovel...LOL I know,I Know it's a RWD sports car that sits relatively low so whudda u expect huh??Anyways I hopped in a JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8 LOADED(every option you can think of) black,all wheel drive,420Hp,420 lb ft torque,0-60 under 5 seconds I mean this thing has BALLZ for a 4,800 lb. BRICK..ha ha!I will definitely come by this forum from time to time because I learned alot from all you guys/gals and it's been a pleasure!

Good luck with the jeep, they are very fast, but they cost a ton to keep gas in.

We have a 2007 Charger SRT8 and I drove it to Fairfield last week, 5 hrs. kept the cruise control at 73 for about 2 hrs. tried not to exceed 80, and averaged 17-18 mpg. I only get 19-21 w/cruise on the G. Not a big difference in mileage if you behave...haha! Oh, my G is a manual if that makes a difference. Plus they both run Premium. I don't think you will notice alot of difference in fuel cost between the two.

Charger srt-8 is hot too,love that car(good choice)Not bad gas mileage for that trip.I don't do that much driving anyways on the daily basis except for long trips, so gas really is not a problem with me.I average about 7-8k miles a year.My 04 G had 24,300k miles(39 mo. lease)As long as George Bush is in office we'll have to pay to play!

I'm gonna drive it like I stole it for a couple of years then get rid of it.Maybe the hard top G will be out by then. Even tho American cars have got better thru the years,they can't compete with imports as far as reliability,luxury,technology and I know that.I just wanted something different without losing performance,can't go wrong with the HEMI BABY!!!!!
