Forgot how much fun driving was!!

Hi there!!

I've had my '06 G35x for almost 4 weeks now and I must say that I really forgot how much fun driving could be. I bought it with 28k miles on it in near perfect condition from an MA "big name" dealer.

The thing is an absolute rocket and handles like a spider wearing Reeboks. Okay, so the gas mileage isn't so great, but whatcha gonna do? I can't drive 55.

Until a Prius gets sexier styling and can get me to 80 in just over 8 seconds, this is it.

Congrats! I know the feeling. I drove a Hummer H3 Alpha for 2 years prior to getting my G35 coupe 3 weeks ago.....aaaah what a feeling (wasn't that Toyota's slogan a few years back?)

Hey Busted Ghost, congrats on the new car. Do you mind me asking where in MA you bought it? I live in Boston and am planning on getting a G for my next car.

thanks

Thanks for the "howdies!".

I found it on Herb Chambers' website. It originally was up in their Seekonk, NH store and the person who testdrove it just before me didn't want it, or whatever. Hey, their loss is definitely my gain. They drove it down to their Westborough store just so that I could see it. And! Once I bought it, they drove it out to me for delivery!!

I absolutely L-O-V-E this car. This isn't just a car you drive. It's like riding a thoroughbred. My friends are all so jealous and my wife's friends can't believe she let me have it to begin with.

Can't say anything about the 07's or later because I never drove one. However, one testdrive in this one, an '06, convinced me that I need look no further. Man, I love this thing. Turning on the engine when it's cold and hearing it roar to life is to quote Will Ferrell in 'Talladega Nights, "...like lookin' up Jazmeen Bleeth's skirt."

Cool, thanks man. I've heard good things about Herb Chambers so far. I want this car so bad but my current car is working fine so it's hard to justify the purchase. I've been finding myself willing my Altima to break down while I'm driving it so I can have an excuse to buy the G.
