finally got my new car

G35 Coupe, with everything... DVD nav/tech package, perfomance suspension/tire and wheel package, premium package (Bose/Sunroof/a bunch of goodies)

Very sweet, the new 19" wheels with the 40 series tires look sweet. I thought I was too old to get a thrill out of this... but as usual - I was wrong

Very pretty - feels great - lots of gizmos and goodies - corners like it is on rails, and more power than an old pecker like me needs. I am also very impressed with the performance of the manual shift mode

ok - I am done....

For thos who know me - it is parked in the garage(that is a first for me ever with any car)

Audi Quattro = midlife crisis? o_O

He's obviously not having a major one then... ;)

I'm turning 40 soon, and treating myself to a 5.4 litre Porsche 928 S4. :D

He ya...

OK - Color is "Diamond Graphite" (silvery gray)
with the "Graphite" (Black) leather interior.

Pics... man it is a damn car, look on Infiniti.com :)

No I won't be tweaking, or turbo'ing it or anything else. It is plenty fast enough for me. It does 0 - 60 in a hair under 6. I just don't need anymore, I am more impressed with the 60 - 0 in 118 feet, that is stoping power baby.

Most importantly - I look realy good in it :) hehheheh

Mr. FusionPimp - how the hell are ya.

Life is good - busy but good. House is great, April is doing well. My daughter just got a scholarship to help with her continued education (she didn't apply for it - one of her teachers nominated her, and she got it)

Worry not, I have no plans of piling this thing into any freeway overpasses.

Hey Kev...nice pimp ride. Wife lets you out in that girl magnet all by yourself does she? Heh.
You know you're having a real mid life crisis when you trade four wheels in for two and ride just for the wind in your face.

Kevin,

I'm doing well, the kids/wife are doing well. We're getting our affairs in order to move to another state. California has become such a hole.

Awesome to hear about the scholarship, that saves a lot of cash and most likely the reason daddy got a new ride of that stature. Be sure to thank her for your new car! :D I'm dreading the day that I hear the cost of college for mine. Steve's almost 20 now and my daughter is almost 14.. yipes! Soon!
Tell April I said hello. I wish you guys still lived close(er?), it's been a few years and you guys are sorely missed.

B-

Nice car. Sickone you planing on dropping in a pair of HID bulbs. Not exactly a cheap modification but it gives the headlight system a unique look especially with the projector lenses.

heheheh the HID Xenon headlamps are standard issue in this puppy.

I will try and take some real pictures today

it is just so hard to find the time when I should be working, but I'd rather be driving.... and all those babes are saying "ooooooohhhh can I ride in your car".... ok... maybe I am stretching the truth a little.

Never mind then. :P

I hate my HIDs. I get high-beamed alot since they bother alot of other drivers due to the brightness. Add in a rigid suspension on a bumpy road and sometimes I can tell cars ahead of me think I'm continually switching between highs and lows. I grow weary of the misunderstandings. Anyhoo... great car, Kevin. :D
