New G35C Owner

Hi Everyone

I'm Andrew, 23 years old from Mississauga, and I just picked up my new (used) 2004 black obsidian coupe and wanted to introduce myself. Drove it home today from Cambridge and I was smiling home the whole way

Pics will be posted after my first wash...sometime very soon.

All my previous cars were vws and I am a huge vw nerd, but I needed to step it up and get a G. An amazing car in every regard. I am very happy with my purchase, and I am very amazed that I don't have an ounce of buyers remorse. Incredible what these cars do to you.

I just realized there is a Canada forum here and I am very happy about that.

I decided to save some money and safety the car myself...there is nothing wrong with it, it will just cost me the hassle of driving it to a shop to check it out. Is it worth taking it to the dealer and have a Safety done there? If so, how is Dixie/401 Infiniti, as they are closest to my house.

Oh and i am planning on getting some rims, DPE or VOLKS are on the top of my list right now. Any dealers in the GTA?

Great cars, I was actually considering Audi A4s for a while, but obviously decided against that

Looked at the A4 as well.
My last car was a Passat.

Had a nice test drive in a A3 3.2Q with DSG this spring
Sure wish we could get a tranny like that.

I am just learning how to detail myself. From what little I have done so far, it has been very rewarding!

There isn't one set up on the future yet. One was done a while back, Kevin taught us all and did a great write up on how to and what product to use. I had some experience with a portacable so it was the products he recommend that I use to have my car look like that. I will take a picture tomorrow in the sun. It is amazing that I can make it look like that. My arms and wrist and legs are sore is a great work out for sure.

If there is no lesson set up give me a ping we can meet up somewhere and talk about your new car etc.

Speaking of which I think is time for a meet!!

Hey Andrew, welcome to the forum. These guys are great and willing to share. Saved me lots of time and trouble. You're gonna love it here almost as much as you enjoy your G. Great back up guys.
