Heylo everyone. I just wanted to say that my G is pretty much goodbye.

I got into an accident today where i was pulling out from a parking lot (I didn't stop because i didnt see a car, because of some landmarks and the sun in my eyes) and I got blindsided and lost traction and visibility to the air bags and stiffened my right leg into the gas pedal, wrapping my g around a wall corner. I'm lucky i walked away with just a jammed (broken?) finger.

just want to say that it's truly been an honor being part of this community.

Havent gotten the car inspected yet, but it seems pretty much dead...

 

How did your right leg get jammed into the gas pedal? hmmm

Glad your ok though

 

Sorry to hear about your G. Glad you are okay though. Perhaps a nice Volvo Sedan?

 

 

dam and you just joined too. Sucks to hear about the car

 

Sorry to hear but glad the car did a good job of keeping you safe.

 

glad to here ur safe
gonna get another g?

 

Glad your here to type about it. What's next (car wise)?

 

haha yea i would give pics but unfortunately, my phone died around then and i couldnt get pics.

I guess the shock from the airbags made me tense up and since my foot was on the gas, it didn't help.

but I do have to say that its impressive that i got out of this without major injury. way to go infiniti.

i dont know what to do about a new car, though. money is tight, and i am at fault for the accident. if i had to get a somewhat cheaper used car, thats still decent and wouldnt make me miserable. any ideas?

btw im gonna be selling some parts (should i not get another G) since i can salvage some and i had a lot of them sitting around.

also, i just got convex mirrors in the mail, the day after -_- so yay.

 

That's sucks, good to hear you are okay.

 

so after thinking about it, I decided that i want to get another G. considered other luxury cars. but here were my thoughts:

is350: dont like the look of the interior, lacks some of the manliness
bmw328i (anything else is too expensive): maintenance too much
audi a4: breaks down, also weak, and a girl was like "wait, that's a girl car"

so yay, probably getting another G. so i was wondering:

for around 15-17k whats better? 04 or 06? (i don't want a spoiler, so either is out)

04: brembo brakes, no oil consumption issues. its what i'm used to (came from 2003). cheaper!!! twilight blue color possibility (though not probable).
06: MUCH better interior, possibility of smart key/memory seats? just overall a lot of better little features. mrev2. PROJECTORS. sportier look.

help?

 

damn man go to the lot and take pix! you could buy mine for 17.5 if you wanted...

 

haha i did. but my usb port on phone is kinda iffy right now i'll see later. haha you're far, sorry. need to purchase in IL and ship to CA. looking at around 17-19k cars right now

 

pontiac G8 GT if you can get ahold of one and if you like V8's

 

actually i did consider that, but ultimately i decided against it. i mean, i feel like american cars in general lack refinement (i'll drop that argument there though, before it escalates) but i figure in buying the G i was compromising performance for luxury, so why change, right?
