Well I've seen some threads about the compliments or lack of that we get of the car... I am on Long Island and have to say G35s are certainly not uncommon these days. Well recently Ive been getting alot for some reason.. the other day I park in my driveway and as I am walking into my house three girls go walking by and they are like "hiiiiii" and I look up and one of them has that cute little wave going and all smiles... shes like nice car, I love it... (Im kicking myself saying I wish I were 20 years old since they were about 17 and pretty damn cute) Damn!

Last night I had another.. I thought I had some punk starting something with me. I am leaving Target about 10 oclock at night after doing some shopping and am on the cell phone and as I am backing out of my parking spot and start driving I hear some kid shouting something.. I look in my mirror and see this kid on his BMX bike pedaling behind me.. Im like maybe I almost hit him as I was backing out or something... I dont know.. so I loop around the parking lot going about 5 miles an hour and this kids following me riding his bike behind me.. so Im like ok.. let me roll down my window and see what this punk has to say... I roll down and first thing he says is Man I love your car.. this car is so hot.. what does this retail for new.. I said about 40k.. hes like this car is freakin awesome. Can you get twin turbo in it off the lot? I said nah, you have to go aftermarket.. hes like thats the way to do it man. The girl I was on the phone with heard him and shes just like holly ****.. that is so cool!

Who says we dont get love for our cars even if they are just one in a sea of many...

 

I live in Long Island too and there are a lot of G35's out here and in the boroughs.

I notice a lot of people staring at the 19" Rays like they are hypnotic or something.

 

I've gotten many comments on all my Infinitis over the years but the young ladies seems to like the Coupe the most.......

I guess I should be hanging out in port jefferson more!!! LOL

I do get stares while driving on LIE, but that's about it...

 

HAHA I had a similar situation when a couple of 16 year old kids pulled up next to me, rolled down there windows and were like "I LOVE YOUR CAR, HOW MUCH IS IT NEW? THATS MY DREAM CAR, SO NICE!!!"

LOL, the G does attract attention!

 

Hahha... actually hanging downtown in the village on a Saturday night Im sure would get some hits.....

 

I too get the stares here and there, but most of them look at the brembos.

 

I havent seen but 4 G's in the last year out here. Maybe I'm too far out east
(Hamptons) because all I see are 65K and up cars....

But I do receive tons of compliments on the G

 

hey LI what color is your G?

yeah, and people seem to love the damn stock rims. Ive gotten probably just as many comments on the wheels and the entire car.

 

still waiting for all the compliments. my girl loves it so thats a good start. i remember getting tons of thumbs up when i had my sti. But then again it was blue with gold rims, they could just be giving me thumbs up for the golden rims or the blue...

 

I get more compliments on my G than I did with my 3 series.

 

Black.. I have the OB with Hugo Optic 30... a bitch to keep clean and it actually hasnt been washed in a week but still is attracting attention apparently....

yeah imagine how it is owning a G with 20's in highschool....i get random people coming up to me telling me how nice my car is..its actually getting annoying because you just dont kno who wants to be your friend or who wants to sit next to you in your car (girls)

 

Imagine how it is driving something like a 1955 Chevy Bel Air. Everyone from 4yr. olds on the playground to 90+'ers with stories of them (or a relative) having owned one "just like it!"... ...despite the fact it wasn't an OEM color combo and had a 468ci big-block. I never got so much possitive attention on the road on a consistent basis, wherever I went. A conversation at every stop.

I like the G better... ...and I drive it daily. But no doubt, a classic's visual appeal is universal. The G just plain looks sexy, regardless if people know what it is or not. IMO, it has the potential to become one of the few japanese cars that people in the US would someday consider a classic. Great lines are timeless.

 

i love the service lot sometimes it's a damn car show w/ all the modded G's. standing outside of the dealership just watching some cars drive by i see a million of G's b/c we're at a great location. the 12 month program really got a lot of coupes on the road
