What was your ride prior to the G?

As I stated in another thread I don't own a G35 yet, but I will be getting one in about 3 months. The car it will be replacing is a 1992 Toyota pickup with a 4-cyl engine and abosulutely no frills, not even a RPM guage.

This is a pretty huge upgrade, perhaps one of the biggest ever, but I bet someone out there can beat it.

If you the G is your first car it doesn't count (my thread, I make the rules ). Otherwise, what was your daily driver prior to the G?

Can anyone top (bottom?) my POS '92 no-frills pickup?

'98 Altima SE with leather. It looked OK back in '98 but quickly looked old. It was slow as molasses too. Before that I had a '93 Eagle Summit. It was cheap transportation.

Heh, heh. A '91 Corolla standard, bottom of the line with a bondo'ed left rear section. No joke. Engine's still fine, though the clutch is slipping after 13 1/2 years...

Quite a difference.

I will be selling my 95 BMW 540i 6spd when my 05 sedan arrives in April. Nothing beats a 540i for class/performance but its 10 yrs old and time to go. The new 545i is ugly and expensive.

I had a 2003 Infiniti I35 Lemon Wanna be. The dealer finally made me a deal to get out of the car and into a G as I did not want another I35 after my experience. The G had been good aside from some minor interior issues that can be lived with.
Prior to the I35 , my wife and I both had 2001 Acura's. I had the TL and she , the CL. Aside from the known tranny issues(my tl was ok) I had sunroof rattles, brake rotor warpage etc. Not typical honda quality. The trans on the CL went at 24000 miles . They fixed it and it was good for 3 months. Then, while passing at about 65 mph, the trans went into neutral for a few seconds, then , back in gear. Dealer could not find any problems. Since I bought it there , they bought it back at Kelley Blue Book Excellent condition less 100.00 and I was a happy camper. No more Honda products for me.

'03 Acura Cl , black, w/navi. Traded it in almost after a year due to tranny issues. My brother had bought an M45 drove it, and fell in love with Infiniti's platform so I went to go see the G35, and well now I have it.
