hahaha that is my car.
I do a lot of site inspections in the rural area of Central Alberta so I get a lot of craps on my car.

When I make more money, I will get another car/truck with 4x4 for work and use it as a winter beater.

I think that actually looks sick; how dirty the car is. If you don't mind; do you think you can send me the full size image; haha; think I got my new desktop wallpaper.

Full size image is at that link, if you really want it.
I could not attach it to this message b/c it is about 800k.

Ha Cmon; I am sure you guys got nothing to worry about. My G35 has sand stuck on the side of the car, a rear bumper that looks horrible (best thing to describe it is that it looks like a coke bottle exploded on it), and my bumper is cracked after someone did a hit and run on me; haha. I gurantee you I have the dirtiest/most abused G35 on Driver.

Do I have it?

Hi everyone. Sorry to hijack the post. I wonder do I have the block heater under the hood? My 10 years old G20 has it standard, but I can't find my anywhere, not even the plug.

Yes, Canadian cars have a block heater installed in a frost plug in the block. You should be able to locate the plug although someone with a new gen car will have to tell you where it is. On my car it's down in the grille mesh in the bumper.

Check the tray behind the front license plate air inlet. My stealer tucked the cord there, behind the lower lip, accessible from above.

mine is tied to the driver side of the engine compartment near the back of the driver side headlight.
Do you guys with G35 Coupe thinks the block heater power cord is a bit short?
When I put it outside and closed the hood, it barely stick out.

No it's fine. I don't use it since car is stored for winter.

Usually Canadian models have block heaters as standard equip't. Check around the front of the engine compartment.

Absolutely. Must be a US car. On the coupe from the factory it sticks out of the mesh grille on the bumper, unless someone moved it.
