Next time you get in your car...

Appreciate just how great it is. I realized that after nine months, I was pretty used to the car and was paying less attention; but then when I put the hyper-ground kit on (diff thread in the tech section), I once again focused on it. So next time you get in:
  • Appreciate the quick start after pushing the button, and the short time to warm-up
  • When you press the throttle, the subdued growl of the exhaust - and the snap in first gear if you REALLY hit the gas
  • The smooth acceleration out of corners
  • The increasing acceleration up to redline, with the noticeable howl from the engine and exhaust
  • The quick shifts, as they either smoothly change, or bang into gear depending on how hard you're driving (and whether you have an AT or MT, I guess)
  • And finally, the environment - the indigo gauges and dials, the feel of the shifter (or paddles) in your hand, and the solid feel as it hits bumps / pavement lines

It was pretty cool to once again realize just how great the G is, so thought I would encourage others

I just got back from 6 day vacation in Myrtle beach and the first thing i did when i got home was take my G for a spin.The new car smell,the power and handling is just so addictive.
I found myself having little conversations with my G like: "Hey how ya doing?You miss me, cause i missed you.Wanna go for a spin, you like that."
I'm a sucker for "G" love.

Driving around in our M45 - and spotted a 07 G35... wow. What a great design. Sleek, sexy and well balanced.
Made me wish we had driven our G tonight!!

This funny because I was having these same thoughts today as I drove a little angry from the heat. This is a damn fine car, not perfect, but very solid and fun to drive, and looks soo much better lowered!

I love how the car ride is so smooth that on freeways, it feels like your going 40 when you're really going 90

Great post. I LOVE the sound at WOT. (Explains why I'm averaging 13.4 MPG.)
