New G35 coupe owner coming from Subaru STI

Hey guy's new 2006 ivory pearl white g35 coupe owner here coming from a subaru sti. Before anyone say's why did you do that let me tell you im way happier with the g35, yes the sti is faster but it is way too uncomfortable for me and not to mention every honda wanted to race me, the g on the other hand is luxury and has more than enough power to get out of its own way. I guess being 40 I wanted a car with class over a car thats just fast hey i made a rhyme lol. Name:  g35pic1.jpg

Welcome sir. You made some good moves. STI's are fun to drive, but it's such a boy racer car now... Anyway, good stuff.

I also had a 06 STi (Stage 2) before coming to the G35. I sure miss the power and acceleration, but I don't miss the cheap interior and boy-racer looks.

if you wanted Luxury and performance, you should have just wen't straight to the m45 or the newer '11 M56 powered with a vk56de..

but, i guess a G35 will do.. =) welcome to the Nissan Family Sir!!

by the way, what size wheels are those?? 20s?
