    Insurance Question..

    I'm in the process of purchasing a new (to me) car and I was wondering about how the title ties into insurance. I am currently under my father's insurance policy (to save money, of course) and my last car's title, although paid for and owned by me, was under my father's name just because it...

    Buying Used - 2007 G35x with 90,000 Miles

    Decided against it...because it was an automatic. After driving strictly manual cars my whole life, automatic transmissions just seem so...lifeless? Just for reference, the asking price for the G35x was about $14k...in my eyes it was a steal but I just couldn't bring myself to purchase a used...

    Buying Used - 2007 G35x with 90,000 Miles

    Background story: I used to drive a 2005 G35 6MT, last Winter I let a friend borrow it and it ended up getting totalled (other party was at fault) - So I've been without a car for some time and have now decided it is time to look again. I've recently come across a 2007 G35x with 90,000 miles...

    That's exactly what I figured, thanks! I did see the Archos, but it seemed to be very pricey.

    iTouch vs Zune HD

    I'm torn between the two. I really need something that allows me to check and write emails as well as surf the web with as little holding the device back as possible. This sounds counter to the point of the device, but audio-use side, which of the two devices is superior? Essentially, which...

    Bypassing firewalls and blocked ports in a dorm..

    Yep...I'm not trying to do anything sketchy or illegal. I simply need to access the ports used for cPanel and FTP so I can access my web host. I heard that a proxy would allow me to do this so I was just asking for advice..

    Bypassing firewalls and blocked ports in a dorm..

    I'm currently living in student housing. I can connect wirelessly to the school network or plug into the wall. I'm pretty sure a connection to the ethernet plug in the wall bypasses the firewall, but I'm not sure. People have told me to use a proxy to access certain ports that are blocked...

    How do I watch TV on this computer monitor?

    It's an E-Machines made specifically for your computer. It's inputs are VGA and DVI and it has an audio in. How can I watch TV on this? I saw that I can buy one of these: http://www.frys.com/product/6124759?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG Would that work? Is there any other solution? I only have a...

    Laptop BSOD - Is it already done for?

    I've had this Lenovo Y530 for just a year.. Today I started getting the BSOD on bootup, it wouldn't even make it to the login screen. I tried all sorts of things, it pasts all diagnostic tests using the Ultimate Boot Up CD for Windows. I reset it to default settings in BIOS, which I believe...

    used sport lux sedan

    I went through this same choice + a few other cars with a similar budget and came out with an '05 G35. If you hunt you can find a great deal. Especially on the 6MTs right now, I'm guessing since it's approaching that snowy season...

    Buying a G35.. Automatic...

    I really enjoy the 6MT and I went with that over the 5AT but the auto transmission is smooth and fast. The 6MT is really only for the fun-factor and if you're looking to upgrade, IMO.

    Need advice deciding a second major

    Thought about it last night and I think I'm going to go into either BA/Finance or Finance/Economics. Both seem to have viable career options while maintaining my interest in the subject. I'll keep checking this thread because obviously it's not set in stone yet. But thanks to everyone that replied

    Need advice deciding a second major

    In my head I ruled out accounting just because although I'm quick with math, I don't want to be a number cruncher for a large part of my life. I appreciate everyone's comments, though. It's really actually helping me make points. I considered an MBA but I'm spending 4 years at school and not...

    That's what the general consensus has been..economics is interesting but I feel that it is too broad a major for those employers looking for specialization.

    I'm having trouble getting a good idea what my next car should be.

    I went through the same choice except with a little higher of a budget and came out with an '05 G35 Sedan. If you know how to work on a car you could even look at some older 335i/M3s.

    Need advice deciding a second major

    Looking into getting a used RWD 4dr Sedan

    I've driven five of the six cars you listed. I thought the GS300/IS300/CTS/G35/330i. The GS300 wasn't as fun to drive as the IS300, and the G35 was light years ahead of the IS300, IMO. The CTS was fun to drive and was fast but, again, the G35 was ahead in every single category, for me at least...

    Bootup Issue

    I have a friend who's computer is going through some issues right now... When he turns the computer on the fans will start but nothing else will. No BIOS or startup screen. He undid all the connections then redid them and now it boots normally but he says the fans are running weak. I...

    G35 or if you need AWD go with the G35x. If I was looking for myself I would also look for a CPO M3 or newer 330i [minimum].

    Infiniti G35 with accident history

    Infiniti G35 with accident history

    I test drove a privately owned '05 G35 with only 29k miles today. The owner is asking $15,000 and when I test drove it everything seemed fine. It has the premium package everything and navigation and its fair market value is well above what I can negotiate for. The only issue is that the Carfax...

    I never downshift. Is this actually bad?

    Coming to a stop I throw it in N, too. If you've driven manual long enough you can definitely react quickly to any situation and shift appropriately. Who knows, I could be doing it wrong though?

    Buying my first newish car

    If you're looking at the 9-3 and 330i then I would suggest looking at the G35 [coupe?] and Legacy GT as well. Maybe even an older TL-S

    Problems that come with high mileage? [72k]

    I've been looking at Infiniti G35s and Acura TLs/TSXs and I finally went to test drive an '05 G35 6MT today. WOW, this car is fast. This is coming from a '96 Honda Accord 5MT. The car I tested is here. Tire tread looks fine, and I'm very surprised with the amount of backseat and trunk...

    Buying a new car in the $15k range

    I would except I don't like the apparent maintenance and reliability issues German cars supposedly have. Parts and repair would also be exponentially higher than a domestic or Japanese car from what I hear.
