Honda owner introduced to Infiniti

Hey everyone! My name is Chris and I wanted to introduce myself. I am a new owner of a 2005 G35x Sedan. I have a short story on how me and my future wife came about to owning this car.

I currently own a 1990 Honda CRX SI and my Fiancee use to own a 99 ford escort zx2 but a few weeks ago she was sandwhiched on Interstate 83 in PA. So no more escort. We were looking into getting a Subaru WRX and found one but when we went to go test drive the car someone had put a down payment on it. Next to the WRX was a shiny 05 G35! So she test drove it and fell in love with the car and now it is sitting in her driveway. Ok end of short story.

So I am a Honda owner and now I am being introduced to the Infiniti so let me know if there is anything I should know about these cars or any tips.

Thanks and this website is very useful for info and I hope to be an asset to the site.

-Chris

Eh, honestly? Yeah, it sort of does. We've been inundated with ridiculous threads lately, first thought is always the same thing...Must be an ex Honda owner. They come in here and post **** like this:

hey chris and welcome to driver!!! Congrats on the purchase and let "search" be your friend on navigating around here. Shrug off the Honda comments, i too used to be a Honda owner but have always loved the classy looks of the G35's since they first came out. Happy reading and contributing to the boards! Post some pics when you get a chance.

I'll work on the pics this week. The car is alittle dirty since it has been cold here in PA and I'm a wuss and don't like washing the car in 20 degree weather haha.

Well S2000's are nice but this car is for my Fiancee to drive back and forth to work and I wanted to get her something AWD. Also wanted something 4dr since her previous car and my car are two doors. Nice to be able to take our friends out and not have to always use they're cars.

Welcome to the 'Driver site, Chris. I trust that your fiancee was not hurt in her accident.

No she wasen't they had to haul her off to the emergency room and check her out and she was ok just acouple bruses. Gave me a scare tho it just remindes me of how many people out there don't pay attention while driving.

I will clean the car and get some pics this week. I went out and bought some car soap since i was out. Noticed a weird noise from the G tonight tho. Seems to make a weird squeek noise when the car leans going around a turn. Sounds to me like maybe it's the suspension bushings. Any thoughts?

congrats on the new G! I think you'll both find it to be an upgrade from the escort
