Is your G35 beat up?

And not all fixed up and nice like others? I have a few dents and scratches and my alignment's off from driving on a spare. I also smoked cigarettes and weed in the car.

I've seen a few G35's with dents and dings, but thats expected when the price of these cars drop.

90k miles on mine and it still got plastic wrap on some parts from the factory.

usual rock chips here and there on the outside, not a speck of dust on the inside. My motor is just absolutely clean.

Actually my G is not beat up at all, but I do have two dents - one in the front fender and one in rear quarter, both pass side. Got both in a span on 1 week somehow and was pissed. Overall, not really noticeable unless you're looking for 'em. I'd rather spend the $300 to get them fixed on something else.

On a related note, I drove a 2000 Grand Am for 9 years before getting my G and sold it without a single dent or major scratch. The japs may have a leg up on reliability, but their body panels suck, they dent if you breathe on them wrong and the paint chips to no end. Wonder where else they're saving money versus american automakers.

Enough of my rant. Thus far the bodywork is my only complaint about my G. I feel sorry for yours....

I let people eat in my car, but only reasonable foods that aren't really greasy. I try not to take back passangers cause they suck, and make a mess and just weigh the car down lol.

I'd say my car is in similar condition to when it was new, a few rock chips, but interior is spanking brand new. Engine runs as smooth as the day it left the showroom (probably), but i didn't take it off the showroom. I also didn't pay 50K Canadian for it sooo, i'm happy, its as new as it gets.

noooo, i never smoke in it, and don't do drugs, just not my thing.

I try and keep my G somewhat decent. i admit i do not keep her clean all the time and the interior is not its best since i always have people and things in the G. as for rock chips and door dings it happen but iv already had the car repainted. food is a no no, smoking cigarettes only 3 times 3 years.

i did let my older brother drive the G and he smoked pot in her the cherry ended up burning the back left passenger seat and he bent the exhaust tip

he has not driven the car since

this is the latest thing to happen








will be fixed soon once i get my LED mirrors

This is a way of life my Grandfather taught my Dad and he taught me, take good care of your cars and they'll not only look great but the effort pays you back when you sell them. Our rides are more than transportation and should never be neglected....
