Got an 04 gray, Infiniti G35 6sp, 70k, sports coupe on ebay for $7400 shipped. I'm very happy with the car particularly since I figured out that by toping up the brake fluid, the VDC light off, brake and SLIP warning light all went off. Now for the flashing airbag light.

The car is in great shape. For once I think I got a really good deal with no surprises. Have had the car since Sat and have put on close to 1k already.

Now looking for 4 winter tires/rims, will black out front grill and side windows. Now to improve gas mileage....LOL

damn! nice!! I was just looking at some of these and and some 350z's on ebay. There seems to be a great aftermarket for both those cars. My wife is getting a new car for her business. She's leaning toward a WRX sport wagon. If the business decides to lease it, I'm thinking I may just trade in my MDX for an STI for a daily driver and hauling my cycling/triathlon/mtb stuff around. I haven't had a toy bike or car for a while now. I really miss it! I kinda want to get something to put in the garage and tinker with!

Been close to a year and over 21K even with the use of the SV1k. That's what happens when yr favorite gf is 27 miles away.
Just trailered back a 4x8 enclosed trailer with the R6 (-motor, blown up during a GTU in Miami Homestead Dec. 3) and the new KTM from Valdosta, Ga to home behind the G35. No issues @ all. Did find out that the AC system is leaking badly -might be expensive to fix. Pesky low P. light kept coming on - the spare is supposed to be 65#s.
Car is a little nervous in the snow - really hard to get going @ lights on packed snow - need new rear tires..

Yeah I'm definitely lucky. I was going to buy Ryan's 2012 but got laid off so killed the deal. When I got rehired, it was sold but Ryan told me about his 2013 - made the deal on the phone with Sam @ Woodstock. the little bit i've ridden - around the holiday inn in Valdosta - this bike is pretty amazing. Tremendously nimble. Climbed this gnarly mound next to the hotel - probably 40-50`without a 2nd thought.

Maybe I'll go from being a slow B250 enduro racer to a competitive one!

well time to trade the G35 in for a WRX. The infiniti has been a fun but somewhat impractical car. Where do you put the extra R6 rims, awning and generator during a road race weekend. And if I ever get stuck in a meadow during an Enduro, I'll be the laughing stock of the whole group. It's too low for the winter, although with new rear tires, traction, stability control and ABS it not bad at all. Had a hellish drive from Chicago to St. Louis during that Jan. 2 snowstorm..

Looking for a 5 door, 6 speed WRX now.
