jimbos new daily driver
So after totalling the S i figured its time for a little luxury and something practical...ive been struggling between and m3 , x5, and decided finally with the g35....
reason not getting the m3 = pricey + insurance for it was incredibly expensive
reason not getting the x5 = just not ready for a suv
reason FOR getting the g35 = 04 model fully loaded w/nav w/19K miles for 27K .... something a lil classy and luxurious with a lil extra room @ the end of the day i decided this was the best car as a daily driver for me for the time being
let me know what you think!

darn, you got the old center console. the new center console design makes the interior so much nicer. and the car is in auto?? the g35/350z shifter is one of the better shifters out there. anyhow, aside from the fact that the car's in auto, good choice.

as far as the 6mt i decided against it after speaking to alot of g35 owners who had alot of complaints on the tranny...and besides that fact...i wanted to lay low alil and just chill its not a race car its pretty classy so i wanted to keep it that way instead of having to shift. this way if i go out and sit in traffic i wont really care

I've only driven the 4 door version. The brakes were a bit too touchy for my taste, but aside from that it was a blast to drive. I drove the Infiniti loaner to Arizona and back in a weeknd ;-) I can't wait to try out the GTR though. That could be the one car that would get me to part with my beloved S2K.
