Don't fishtail in the rain and destroy your sister's suspension.


Sorry RgrPark... but I know how it is, except I utterly destroyed a rare car. ;(

:-o!!! Damn you. How old is your sister? (Just wondering how old she is, since she can afford a G35...)

the funny thing is...she is 26. i hate her and her husband for the richness :) they worked really hard for it though. he has his own company pretty much (at age 25) and makes close to 200 a year i think. she teaches at a school for children that have learning disabilites, but most of them excel in math oddly enough (and i mean 3+ grades above normal math, but 3+ grades below everything else...). not trying to brag on them, but they worked for it, so she deserves it i guess.

What THE HELL is a woman going to do with a 270 HP 6-Speed beauty like that?!?!?!? (Other than let you drive it occasionally.) Goddamm! Tell her to get the damn VW bug/GTI or Saturn Ion or whatever the hell else it is that chicks seem to think are "cute" cars and leave the 6-month-backordered G35's Coupe 6-Speeds for those who can appreciate them. [/misogeny rant end]

;)

i got first dibs man

LOL...hopefully ill be first to DRIVE it woohoo! apparently you have to special order it in dallas because they dont have many of them available. they made a down payment of half of the price, so they are definitely getting one within the month. HOPEFULLY, they wont have it in their hands by the time i move. that way, i can take the keys from her and be the first one to drive it :evil:

Are you guys buying from Grubbs? They've got a bunch up there usually available. I almost got one from Grubbs but the retarded sales guy I had sold it before I got there. I ended up getting my coupe from from Austin Infiniti after being on the waitlist for ~3 months since November. 6MTs are a bit harder to get ahold of.

A stick has a clutch.

I had a stratus that had autostick. Worked as a automatic until I pulled the shifter all the way into autostick. Then to shift, I would tap either left or right to upshift or downshift. Was pretty cool.

racing seat? you mean sport seats? There's a difference. Internet connection & 20 inch wheels? I guess the wheels could be added by the dealers.

internet connection?

she doesnt lie and i called her to get details. thats exactly what she told me. keep in mind she doesnt know all the names for everything, but you cant mess up 20 inch wheels. thats exactly what she said..."yeah it also has 7 spoke 20 inch wheels, is that good?" and i was like HELL YEAH.

yeah i didnt know about the internet connection either but apparently it has it. you can do e-mail and search the web and stuff on the pop up LCD. it pops up from like a console thing, but not part of the dash or where a cdplayer goes...

i dont know a lot of things about it, but i do know what she told me and she was reading it off of the information sheet from her dealer. so whatever you have to say about it, i dont really care, its the truth.

and yes, you can have an autostick. i dont know what the type of transmission/drive train is called, but its like what someone said, tiptronic or techtronic or something like that.

when i move down there ill get pics with ATOT written on a window or something. and then ill take pics of all the stuff im talking about.

Looking at the pics of the car she used to drive, I'd say she deserves the upgrade.

Don't mean to be rude but..

The G35 Coupe does not come with an Internet connection. Does not come with 20 inch wheels. There is no racing seat. The only way to get an Internet connection is to use your mobile phone. 20 Inch wheels the dealer probably added on but that is very unlikley. Racing Seats??

dude its all on there. did you not see my post? good lord, some people. ever heard of OPTIONS?!?! there is DEFINITELY 7 spoke 20 inch rims, for the last time. i dont know ANYTHING about it because i have never been inside one or even read about them. and how do you know there isnt this or isnt that? who the hell are you? i dont even care about the damn car. why do people feel like they need to be an expert? unless you work for infiniti, i think you should shut your mouth. this wasnt a "lets debate what options the car comes with" thread, this is a"the car has this in it" thread.

edit: oh yeah, and i dont know how she gets the internet, but i know she can hook up her phone to her LCD, and maybe thats what she meant. not to be rude but...you are an idiot.
