Well in a half hour I will be picking up my new 04 G35 6spd. I've been a car guy all my life starting with a 71 240Z when I was 16 years old. I have been driving a 9 year old Taurus that I bought second hand for the last 5 years mainly as a commuter car. The wife always gets the new car. Well anyway I still have my play cars in the garage that I take out every now and then ( 2 240Z's, a 260Z and a Buick Grand National) but since I just turned the big "4 oh" it was time for a midlife crisis and the Taurus had to go so yesterday we went to the Infiniti dealer and my 5 year old son picked out the car I will be picking up today. Gotta love that kid! I'm sure you all will be seeing alot of me on here in the future.

Joe,
I am close in age to you. I dont call my G a mid life crisis car due to fact that I have not grown up yet...

Enjoy

Got mine about a week ago and my 9 year old is in love with it. He gives it a 10 out of 10. It says something that the kids dig it. Enjoy!

 

If the G is my mid life crisis, I'll be able to retire at 55 and party hard for another 9 years. WHOO HOO!!!

301-bhp!!! ...and growing!

 

I have a son would doesn't give a damn about my car. I think the only thing he said was that he liked how the car ROARS like a lion. Oh well, I guess his interests at this point in his life are somewhere else (YU-GI-OH) than in automobiles.

 

. . . maybe we need to start a G35 vs. Blue Eyes White Dragon thread. (Yu-Gi-Oh speak for those not in the know).

 

Rags,

Congratulations on the G35! Your post sounds almost the same as me. First car was 71 240z(e31 head) then 72 240Z that I drove for 13 years (autocrossed it every year). First kid came, sold the Z and bought Neon (4 door) autocrossed it for 3 years. Gave up autocrossing and purchased another dodge product drove it for 4 years and then went and bought the G last Sept. Love the car, never thought I would be driving an Infiniti (Nissan). Everytime I look at the G, I see the old 240Z! Glad you have both!

I've yet to meet a person who didnt enjoy some aspect of our cars. Had a guy in a jeep wrangler roll back because his daughter (maybe all of 6) wanted to see my car. Hehe Get used to it, we drive one of the best looking cars on the road, especially for the $$. Oh well, welcome to the family and enjoy your G! I know all of us here sure as hell do =)
