yeap, totally understand where you're coming from.

you hit the age where you're looking for more than power in your ride.

- refinement
- brand recognition
- panty factor


bar conversation 1:
hoe: so, what do you drive?
you: a honda
hoe: oh, cool.

bar conversation 2:
hoe: so, what do you drive?
you: a Lexus IS350
hoe: let's get outta here

i dont know if i ever really hit that age.. it was always my goal, even though it never happened

isnt it a little early to be thinking what car you're gonna be buying in 2 years?

you're still a bit young.




It's an atmosphere thing too. When I'm at the office and I see people under me (on average 15 years older) driving nicer cars ... it kinda makes me want something to display my rank in the parking lot.

as stupid as it sounds, it's the truth :hs:

If you want the bling factor, I'd get the G35 coupe. I havn't even seen the inside but I know for sure that the outside of them looks freakin awesome! I'm sure there is a reason that car came to your mind first. Those are sweet!

I've seen spy pics of the upgraded 07 sedan (in the news forum) ... it's impressive.

I'd <3 to get a coupe.

I just don't like Nissan engineering / build quality

lol. yeah, the only thing is the refinement. i could care less about recognition (although thats a plus) and w/o being homo, forget the girls. thats just who i am. i dont want a girl who gets down just cuz shes feelin my ride. but thats just me

yeah, im turning 23, and although that is by NO means something id consider an appropriate age to be rockin out in a flashy car, ive always been one to never settle for less. i dont spend much, but when i do, i want it done right. and its just my love for cars and my eye for details that makes me want something that i know wasnt slapped together w/o thinking about the overall driving experience

and the reason im projecting a 2 yr purchase is cuz im thinking by then i wouldve increased in salary and savings and would be able to afford one by the time im 25, and i need to plan to make this happen



that being said, im just tryin to keep an eye out

:doh: i totally forgot about the next gen G35. yeah...those pics are freakin sweet. i actually think that the current G35's interior is worse than mine. but the new ones...:drool: those seem to have everything id want. but no word as to how they'll be priced :sad:
