I bought it from my boss. She and her husband were OCD about service. I'm still getting used to the stiff clutch and the car's desire to go faster than I want to go. I live in the Appalachian hills of Virginia so I will be giving it a workout pretty soon, driving to Meadows of Dan on 4 weekends.
Replaced a base 2003 Chevy Cavalier coupe. Wow, they have power windows now.

2003, 6 spd manual sedan, silver

 

Haha, that's a pretty serious upgrade, man. Now I understand why you're still getting used to the extra power.

 

The Cavalier was fast enough, it just didn't have the sense of urgency that the G35 exhibits. The Infiniti is not content with 15/25mph on the campus of Virginia Tech. The Cavalier was perfectly fine with it. 45/50mph on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Meadows of Dan may be the same except for the curvy roads.

I wanted a manual for one reason: With an automatic, the car takes you somewhere. With a manual, YOU take the car somewhere.

 

Enjoy your G! They are fun to drive. Handle very good!
