On the positive side, with regard to the minor and not so minor concerns/complaints about the G35, would it not be useful and constructive to have a running list ( FAQ, sticky, subforum or whatever) of how to address such issues? This would not be for whining but for suggestions on how to cope/avoid with the issue. Perhaps this already exists, but if not, a structured list, with succinct advice, would be useful.

Here is a mock-up.. not sure how it would be managed/updated....

I think it is a good idea, can be more of a FAQ.....

 

in the sticky section for fast reference
