sold because now im out of school and can afford it. I wanted a sports car still, but more luxury and space. Especially because I'm about to be doing a lot of shipping now for my company (distributor/reseller for Ed Hardy clothing).

It was up between this, 00-01 M3, or 99-00 Porsche 911. I had a $40k budget after tax. This came out to $35k even after all tax & license. Now i have some extra money to deck it out with double din dvd/nav, front lip/rear spoiler, and buying a bike. More toys

I love the way the G35s look. I just wish the were lighter and had an interior that was as nice as the exterior. I almost ordered a white with the tech/sport/touring package before I got the S4 because missus lig works for a company that get the VPP pricing (invoice +1.5%)

The exhaust note is really nice - even stock.

Definitely a nice GT car - I wouldn't really call it a sports car. Not nearly as tossable as an S2000 but I'm sure it'll be a far better daily driver.

Nice S. And I like the G35, too. Good choice!

One and the same. Even the wifey's new ride (FX 35) is built on the same chassis (I think they call it the FM) with the VQ engine.
