Third best concert I ever saw: 1971, Spectrum, Philadelphia. First row balcony, about 20 feet behind Manzarek.
Wow, back in the days the Flyers were building for the two Stanley Cup wins!

Tom glad you are enjoying the 07, I sat in one in the showroom a few weeks ago, very nice and I'll bet it's a great drive. Holding out for the G35x Sport sedan, though!! Gotta have the spoiler, I wouldn't have bought my 03 without it.
Wow, you haven't driven one for a loaner? The spoiler had to be ordered, getting it Wednesday.

Quote: yeah it does give it a sportier look...sucks you can only get a spoiler if you have prem. package.i wouldn't gotten one, but a spoiler isn't worth 2500 dollars
I own an 07 sport with the spoiler and no premium package (as do many people).

I think the Spoiler is worth the money, not totally sold on the premium package though. The only thing from the premium package I really wanted was heated seats. The stock stereo is fine (especially since I added a subwoofer), memory seats..... not necessary. And an auto dimming rear mirror with compass? The car really should come with that stock.

In the end, I opted out of the premium package. I don't really regret it.

That's three.

A compass? LOL. You're not missing anything, it doesn't even fit the car because it's orange backlit and placed on the far right side of the mirror. Worthless.

Miling face with no teeth! What three? '74 and '75 were the Broad Street Boys heyday.

You for got to add the sunroof, power tilt/telescoping wheel, home-link, and bluetooth.

I personally think it's worth every penny.

Yes, I agree, even on the earlier G's I had, the Premium was well worth it. But this '07......................Man! Also, I was never a fan of the old pop up Nav, this nav is great, everything is right there in front of you! Nice. The power tilt/telescoping wheel with memory is a fantastic thing, the tilt on my '04 was a real PITA! And tilt is a necessity in my case!

That would be four of us who know that Jim Morrison asked to be shown the way to the next whisky bar.

Well, it's the sport package you have to get to also get the factory spoiler. Not to have it added aftermarket by the dealer.

As JM would say, Amen, Brother.

Looks like $10K in damage. Didn't touch the engine or frame, just all the front body panels, new coolant system, new power steering unit etc., and new airbags/dash.

I got lucky with the body shop, too, and found a top guy with G35 experience. All Infiniti parts guaranteed, factory paint. Just two scratches on the front pillars, so they'll need to be painted.

Three weeks, "good as new."
