Where did you drive your G today?
Got here at 9:30AM, can't wait to see her again at the end of the day (6PM).

Not today but last week I drove the G35X to the NC mountains. Highway 176 from about Tryon to East Flat Rock is just amazing. Its not particularly scenic but the road is incredibly twisty with tons of switchbacks and 15 mph signs to ignore. When you take it northbound there are occasionally some passing lanes to get by trucks and tourists.
On the way up I got behind some locals in a 2001-ish Maxima driving real slow. I wanted to have fun so I pulled over to let them get on up the road a ways. Well, I caught back up with them at one of the passing lanes where there was a sign saying 'slower traffic keep right'. They stayed left so I went right. When they saw this they floored it to stay in front of me. I blew them away in the G.
Unfortunately I had my wife, my son and about 5000 pounds of luggage in the trunk so I couldn't really let loose. I can't wait to take my coupe up there sometime.
If you're in the area this road is worth the drive and usually doesn't have much traffic.

I didn't. But my mom drove it to her office and back. She called me to tell me that my cooper tires on my 17" rims are horrible and that the car is slipping a lot in the rain... that was a fantastic phone call lol

I figured this would be an interesting thread to start. I've seen "what did you do to your car today" threads, but above all else, cars are meant to be driven. I've put 15k on my '03 5AT sedan in the last four months...I love driving her so much that all my mod money ends up in the gas tank.
Today I drove my G to Warren, OH for some photography. Warren and Youngstown are amazing places to photograph. Some areas are literally ghost towns, there are entire blocks that have been vacant for over a decade. I'll post pics once I'm posting from my laptop instead of my cell phone. I put about 200 miles on her today.
So where did you drive your G today?
