New Owner Colorado
Hello,
I purchased my 2008 G37S in June and have been mostly lurking around on the site since then. I did a ton of research before buying and planned to look at Mercedes and Audi too...until I drove the G. Talked the dealership into fixing anything my shop found within 30 days and got new brakes as a result (backing plates, rotors, pads). Even though she (Natsumi) has over 100K and no mods, I still get compliments on a regular basis.
I have been looking for G's on the road in Colorado and, although I have driven approximately 3000 miles, I have only seen 1 S. This greatly adds to its appeal in my book.
Anyway, I have already benefited from the expertise on this site (throttle body cleaning, window/idle position relearn) and I expect to refer to it often. Drop me a line if you're in Colorado so I know I'm not alone.
Mike

I'm in Fort Collins...work in Loveland. My car is currently in the shop (Import Specialists) for a clutch issue. I bought it at Nissan Greeley and they really wanted to do the work, but they seem a little mystified by this vehicle. Asked if I wanted them to rotate tires when I took it in for the brakes (did not seem to realize the offset) and could not find the S in their system when quoting clutch work. I don't mean to dog on them because I was treated very well throughout the purchase process and brake repair, but I don't want to know more about my vehicle than the guy/gal working on it.
Are you in Northern Colorado?

I hardly notice the college kids. I live a little north of town and avoid Old Town and the campus for the most part. At least most of them don't drive. Summer tourism is a bigger disruption for traffic and parking, so I'm always glad for fall to get here.
Just got my car back from Import Specialists. She feels pretty jumpy (in a good way)with the new clutch so its like driving a new car!
Let me know if you're ever up this way.
