First off, I confess that I've been browsing the forum almost everynight for the past week or so now, and I have to say that I'm absolutely loving the site! A wealth of information and more than a few remarkably funny threads (i.e. "you know you drive a g35 when...")

Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm ggirl from Boston, MA and I've been enchanted by my new-to-me 04 6MT coupe with performance package! She's been a dream, apart from some bounce which I'm hoping to correct in the next week or so. I just love the way the she handles and the audible power of the engine! (Can you tell I'm still very much in the honeymoon period? lol).

On a different note, it's supposed to snow(2-4") tomorrow in Boston and I have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. I'm seriously contemplating if I should even attempt to take her out tomorrow. Oh well, we'll see...

P.S.
Improper Bostonians, please say Hi!

Welcome, ggMT, be careful in that snow...RWD and all-seasons aren't great in the white stuff. Post up some pics of your ride asap!

congrats on your new-to-you purchase.

I've had my G more than 2 years and it's always a Honeymoon period when I turn her on and start driving...

Hi everyone! Thanks for the welcome! I'm hoping I'll get the chance to take some pics this weekend that will do her justice.

I ended up driving in today. This morning wasn't too bad as I expected. The evening commute was bliss. I'm quite impressed with the new Pilot Sports A/S Plus (supposedly the improved version of the original Michelin Pilot A/S.) I drove out of 4 inches of snow very easily in my driveway. Didn't feel a thing. I've noticed from most posts that winter tires are the way to go but I'm quite happy with my decision to get all seasons so far.

Just be careful! Winter tires will make a HUGE difference if you regularly drive in snow for half the year.
