I really don't know what I was thinking - the perfomance drop from the Z06 to the 4 banger alti was too big. I think this new G35 will give my the best of both - performance and practicality.

Moved up from a 2001.5 Passat GLX @ 154K miles.
The Passat still had some great features that I miss, but it had some serious electrical/mechanical problems, and the dealer did a very bad job at repairs.
Had my G35S for about a week and I'm loving it! Can't wait to get above 4K rpms and 1200 miles, tho!

98 Toyota 4Runner - Got me into the world of "Off Road"
VW R32 - A true drivers car, that thing was driving nirvana...
Ford Excursion - Turned it into a mini RV and drove across the country, truly unforgettable...
G35s "Beauty" - after two weeks and 3,700mi and I'm loving every minute
+
96 4Runner "The Beast" - Pretty much every mod under the sun, will be doing some crazy suspension one of these days...

It was a great rig...
If I took the spare tire out I could fit a queen size bed back there. Had I kept it I was going to put the sat tv on it and put a screen in the back swing out door for tailgating... Its also got two deep cycle golf cart batteries (you can see the back side of one on the bottom left) hooked up to a 1,200w inverter to run A/C power. It was bit overkill as I didn't need to charge them the entire trip!

Got Storage?

For bad weather and some extra room...

That motor is a beast too. With just a chip/exhaust/cone filter it was quite a monster. Especially out of the hole, here is a vid of me beating a new GTI...
