Got complimented by a Maserati owner
I went out to get my haircut and the place happens to be in a $$$ town (by $$$ i mean rich. Anyone fimiliar with mass, it was Andover. Anyhow I pull into the big parking lot that is parking to about 15 different places, and in the corner I see a red Maserati coupe sitting in the corner. I go and park next to it and take a few pics, their on my cell phone not sure how to get them off (nextel i860). Anyways I go in and get my haircut and come out about a half an hour later and right as Im coming out the maserati owner is walking to his car. Im about 200ft behind him watching as I get closer. He starts looking at the G, starting at the front and walking toward the back shaking his head (up and down, not side to side). So I approach and hes just about to sit in the drivers seat when he notices me and im walking right toward my G. Here is the conversation
Him: Is that your car?
Me: Yes it is.
Him: its very nice, it is new?
Me: No its actually 2 years old.
Him: Wow it doesnt look it, it looks brand new. I didnt even know those were out I would of bought one instead of this.
Me: Its actually a Infiniti G35 but the car is sold as a Nissan Skyline over in japan.
Him: Oh I see. Well ive seen g35's around but none of them look yours.
Me: Well I have a few modifications done.
Him: It really looks great.
Me: thanks man, I love your car to!
Him: (in a cocky voice) for 85g's it better look nice!
Me: haha, have a good day man
Him: you to.
All in all the guy was a cool guy, but for 85grand their is definately better cars out their.

It's always good to hear stories like this where the guy who owns the expensive car doesn't turn out to be a *****.
To get the pics off of the i860, you can send them to your e-mail address through the text messaging system. Just go to the pic on the phone in photo center and select the pic you want to send. Hit the upper left softkey that says SEND and in the "to" line just type out your email address and send it off. Thats how I always send my pics to my email.

Here's my story (and yes, I actually get complimented at least twice a month if not more).
I head off to go to a club in Hollyweird. As I park my car to go with my friend a guy wallking his dog comes up to me and looks at me. I am thinking to myself, I must be illegally parked or am too close to the driveway. I get out and check to see that the curb isn't red and there is enough room for the tenants of the apartment complex to get out and now take out my rear bumber. The guy and his dog comes up to me and this is what transpires:
Guy with Dog: Hey, nice car!
Me: Thanks.
Guy with Dog: I really like it. Is it a manual 6 speed?
Me: Yep. I wouldn't get it any other way.
Guy with Dog: Yeah, I really wanted to get that car. Instead, I got a Jaguar. I really wished I got that car instead but I need four doors right now.
Me: Thanks. Yeah, it's a blast to drive.
Guy with Dog: I'm jealous. The Jaguar doesn't even look as nice as your car. Hey, take care.
Me: Thanks.
Believe it or not, my car is totally stocked. Not one aftermarket item on it either. I think the fact that I don't have the rear spoiler makes it look even better (IMHO).

[QUOTE=BrianlG35C]Good story IS300TOG35. For 85K I'd get a Merc. CLS AMG! I know it's a sedan but it's just so beautiful and fast....[QUOTE]
You think the AMG is fast? Check out Brabus's Rocket! Electronically limited to 218MPH

Maserati's are cool, I like the new 4 doors as well. However, 85 G's is not worth it to me for that car.

EXACTLY!!!!! One time I saw an E55 amg with at least 4, possibly 5 guys in the car, plus the car was BUMPING so that means he had even more weight with a sub in the trunk. Started street racing with an m3 and a carrera I believe...and that thing PULLED on them. Ridiculous torque on that car, unbelieveable.
