Hey guys, just wanted to throw up some more photoshop pics that I've been tinkering around with. Since last time I've posted I installed the sway bars and swapped the battery for an Optima Yellowtop. Also, for anyone that is interested my car is up for sale (mostly a feeler and looking for trades): 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe Turbo

Thumbs down Help me understand

I don't understand. Didn't you just purchase your car and its up for sale already. I don't understand why so many people purchase a car spend tens of thousands of dollars modding it only to sell it. With all that money spent many of you could of had a Ferrari 348, Ferrari F355, maybe a 360 Modena, a Bentley coupe or something else really nice like a Maserati. I just don't understand is all. In another 2 years my 05 coupe is getting a stablemate, possibly a Maserati.

Hello Mr Brooks, while I appreciate your comment, I believe ive mentioned somewhere in my thread I've mentioned that 95% percent of the work was done by the previous owner (if not I apologize), therefore I did not occur any of the costs of modification or depreciation, I simply reaped the rewards. I understand your point completely and would not have spend the tens of thousands on it,..however im not against getting the car at a steep discount after the work is all said and done . Hope that clears up my situation. (someone looking into a Maseratti should be very familiar with second hand purchases and the steep depreciation youll save on the car )

Although the Maserati has great depreciation value, that's not what attracted me to the car. I've loved them from day one. Actually one kept me going to school everyday...no, I didn't own one but someone at the Junior high school I went to did and everyday I went to school I looked for that Maserati Biturbo. There used to be a Maserati dealership near my job and for 2 years I would go there everyday even on my days off and spend at least 2 hours a day enjoying those cars. As I got to know the GM and everyone that work there they allowed me to help them during shows they would do thus allowing me to drive some Maserati's and ferraris. For me the Maserati quattroporte is the best performance sedan hands down. I don't care about 3d navigation that's what looking out my windshield is for. I don't care about little blind spot detectors that's what little blind spot mirrors are for. Maserati isn't like Mercedes or BMW that give a lot of what you don't need that takes away from the driving experience. Maserati gives you everything you want in a performance sedan that's safe to drive at any speed. Plus from 2005-2007 Maserati's were built in the Ferrari factory, they carry Ferrari engines and was designed by the same company that designs Ferraris. How can I lose. But, I understand your plight.
