Just wanted to introduce myself. I just purchased a 2006 G35 coupe. I put about 2000 miles on the car the first three days I had it! I bought it in Knoxville, TN and drove it all the way back to Grand Junction, CO. Great trip, lots of fun through the Rockies. So far, I can easily say it's probably the best car I've ever owned. I've already found a ton of useful information on this forum, so I'm sure I'll probably be spending a lot more time here than I would like to admit. Thanks! -Travis

Here's a couple of quick phone pics I took before and during the trip.

Your a psycho to take a used car you just purchased on a road trip ! What if something went wrong? Well nice looking car, looks well kept and welcome to the forum. I recommend the following post to all new members as it can help you get settled in to what we do here (modify & flame others).

I am assuming this is the automatic coupe? If it is the 6 Speed manual transmission (6MT), then read up on 06-07 coupe oil consumption.

Welcome to the G class...

Welcome to our dysfunctional little family! Congrats on your new toy and definitely read through the forum. Be careful because when the mod bug bites a lot of us, there's no turning back lol.

Welcome to the G35 family.When you was in Knoxvile did you ride the dragon? Its a 11mile trip thru the mtns with 132 curves! Lots of clubs take the Tail of the dragon run. Nice car enjoy it!

Thanks! I'm originally from TN and have family there, so I had the car checked out, and a little bit to look it over before setting out. I do have to admit, it was a great way to get to know the car

It's a 6MT. I've been reading up on the oil consumption, and atleast for the moment, it seems to be all good. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely keep an eye on it!

The Dragon is a great drive! It's been a few years, but I've driven it in a few cars back in the day. I didn't have time to go that far east when I picked up the car, had to visit family then start back west. Thanks, I love it so far!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to messing with it... I have a bad habit of modifying EVERYTHING I drive, but I'm hoping I can keep it stock for atleast a little while.

My family is in Tenn from Sevierville , Strawberry Plains to Powell Tenn.As soon as my house sells Im going home! Cant wait to get out of NJ!

Congrats...I live in Austin, TX and I purchased my car in Atlanta, GA. I too road tripped it back, although no where near as far as you drove!

Nice, what a great way to get to know your new car

It was a long drive, but the car was flawless, and driving over the Rocky Mountains was a ton of fun

That's a clean G great pics

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! There is nothing better than that first drive home...although yours was much longer than most lol. Anyways, great looking G...let me know when you're ready to sell me your headlights and OEM Rays

Hi Travis, "Welcome to Driver!" Great looking coupe (a word of advice) leave it that way! Once you start messing with front bumpers etc. there's no place to stop. Like you I've never owned any car I haven't modified. My last Z I ordered wheels/exhaust/intakes on the way home from the dealership, with no regrets. Enjoy the ride, but you already have been!
