Wow interesting idea since I had also cross shopped the Lexus GS series. Then again there's no M56 available in my area at all. There's the M45, but not quite so sure about that one.

I dont know if this happens to you guys, but I occasionally have these flashbacks to my teens when i'd dream of adding things onto my car that I thought would make it go faster, but was counter to any better judgement. As much as I've aged and learned since then, there are still things like this...

I was also thinking of a used 2013 G37 sedan with ~30k miles and an eventual move towards a supercharger.

@XavierMace: Im not as worried about price or used/ vs new, but would probably put the ceiling at $30k with a particular emphasis on reliable like the Maxima. Im not sure whats happened to altima/maxima styling, but it's a little more progressive than what I'm looking for and the same goes for...

Crawled out of the lurker hole to ask for ATG expertise. My 2002 Maxima GLE was totaled at a stoplight in a rainy rear-ending by a Ford F150 going ~10-15mph(?). I havent had to make a car payment in 10 years and the Maxima was good to me in terms of few repairs over the last 15 years. I can't...

It's complicated and still under investigation. The body might not be as simple as big business wants you to think.

It's painful to see that people still think of the AMA as the culprit here. The AMA has almost nothing to do with the # of doctors produced. The AAMC regulates the quality of all of the US allopathic medical schools and the ACGME regulates the quality of all of the US residency programs. As...

Maybe doc meant steatopygia?

In the US at least, it does seem like "health systems" are taking over broad geographic regions which tends to make sense. Health systems tend to buy out primary care doctors(who can at times suffer from increasingly stringent managed care reimbursement) first which essentially buys out the...

It's seductive to think that our current state of technology is able to accurately describe how the brain operates to produce complex behaviors and emotions such as altruism or planning out a PB&J. Do not be fooled. Mapping functions onto singular areas of the brain might be possible for simple...

I'm no rheumatologist nor do I condone usage of unregulated marijuana plants with varying amounts of alkaloids from strain to strain that can have unclear neuropsychiatric effects, but i'm pretty sure it's a very bad idea to introduce exogenous cannabinoids through ingestion to someone...

A great treatment modality that doesnt involve taking any medications whatsoever would be CBT, but it could take longer than a pill to work. In fact, if you've grown accustomed to using the xanax for anxiety then it could be ridiculously hard to pry your brain away from it given the positive...

Medical schools(allopathic ones is all I know) require accreditation by the AAMC and have to meet a very very high standard of training to qualify. Furthermore, even if accredited med schools increase student acceptance, there is still a limited number of residency positions since theyre...

That's well and all for peripheral serotonin receptors in your GI tract, spine, platelets, and peripheral sensory neurons, but then how does that relate to this blood-brain barrier that separates your brain's swimming pool of CSF from the rest of the circulatory system? If your hypothesis is...

It's good that you're trying to read up about this before seeing a physician, but I would caution you from trusting everything you read(esp. on the internet). Most docs carry a healthy sense of caution in everything they read and try to make a decision from the aggregate of data available, but...
