Congrats..but carmax must go

 

hahahah the funny things is that u made the stock G lookin so good in the pictures
good job man keep it up...

 

Thanks K20!! I actually really like the wheels that came w/ the car..and of course brembos! Never had any before...it's really nice to see those nice big brakes I'm in love. It's the nicest thing I've ever owned

 

I like the first photo the best, nice backdrop. I would have composed it with the car more towards the right side of the frame, but its still a nice capture. Good move removing the carmax decal

 

Now i just gotta get me the tow hole cover and take off the front plate...

 

Congrats! DP FTW!

 

Chris, nice pics, nice G. I like your myspace page, especially the pic of you being photographed while taking a pic.

 

Thanks man! I appreciate it!! I'm real happy to be an owner of a G. I just wish it didn't drink so much gas hehe

 

clean

 

Hey Chris, I hear you about the mpg. This is my daily driver and I traded a VW TDI for this, so I was getting some serious mpg with the diesel.

I did some calculations and in my situation I am still coming out ahead when I take everything into account. My G35's monthly note is cheaper, gas is cheaper per gallon, my insurance actually dropped as we'll. Also even though my G has a satellite stereo installed it doesn't have the unit in the trunk, so I canxed one of my Sirius accounts as well. I have a Sirius stiletto portable unit that I will move from car to car.

When I crunched the real numbers together I am coming out ahead in my pocket book. Not to mention the best part, I love driving my G35, its soooo much more nicer than the Jetta.

As far as mpg, as per the on board 'puter, I average about 30.3 on a big part of my commute, which I can live with. My wife does we'll in her Lexus RX300 as we'll. She is hitting 33 mpg.

A lot of your mpg has to do with your driving style, obviously.

 

Yeah I try to leave it in cruise on longer drives...and i'll be in like 6th gear during city driving (if i can help it)..just to keep that much extra pressure off the engine..Hopefully I'm getting a raise in september (like my boss said i would)...and then i wont be so worried about gas anymore...i turn 25 also in august, so my insurance should go down..

 

I really do think that DP is like top 3 best colors of the G. The other 2 of course being that of the white color, and the dark gray.

 

well, ...black is also good too

 

Agreed!

Nice ride - good luck with it. You might check ebay for the tow hook cover... or a junkyard.

 

I once needed a part for my lancer, and i (admit) to stealing this part off of a car at a dealership YEEEEEARS AGO. I think it was a short antenna for the radio. lol. The part never even fit on my car hahahah...it was karma haha
