Calgary G37 sighting...

Memorial and 29th St NW around 5:20pm this evening.
I (OB G37S) went up towards the hospital, you (IP?) went straight West.

Anyone here?

Wow missed this thread. As far as I've seen rrrevin there are two IP's in Calgary, one with a spoiler (Sport) and one non-sport. I've also seen at least three other PG's (could be AG) one is a non-sport the other two were sports but one was driven by an older fellow and one by a younger guy.

That's it though, I haven't seen a single of any other color, BS, AB, OB, LP or VR. I usually catch the non-sport PG/AG downtown around the Shaw building, I've also seen the other two IP's during rush hour as well. Unfortunately it appears the PG/AG are the most popular colors so far.

These sightings were mostly all in September when I recieved my car though, I have noticed almost none ever since the snow started to fly. I know the Infiniti stealership here is having issues getting winter tire packages so maybe that's it. Hopefully most G owners here are making use of Tirerack

Not that I drive my G regularly in the winter, but I went to Kal Tire in Sherwood Park... as recommended by the dealership in Edmonton. I put on a set of Blizzaks. The owner of that shop bought a G37S as well and made special arrangements to keep tires in stock for those cars.

Really? When I bought my G back in October, I called Tire Warehouse first just to make sure the dealership wasn't ripping me off. They told me that they didnt have winter tires to fit the stock rims nor could they get any in. I ended up having to go through the Kal Tire that the dealer recommended.

Maybe Tire Warehouse has got some in more recently. Did you get 19's and if you did, do you mind if I ask what you paid?

Nope went with 18" that could be the differance.


bought 4 rims and tires



EMR 400 silver rims and 4 Michelin Alpin plots 245/45 R18



installed and balanced


2142.50


Not my favorite rims but they will do for the winter.

Must be excited urbandaddy, the weather has been good for the last week as well too so should be able to keep it clean for a while. I remember it rained on the day I picked mine up

IP seems to be the most popular color for G37's in Calgary right now, most of the ones I've seen are IP. I recently went back for service at the stealership and salesman said they had lots of IP stock but not much of anything else.

Try not to fall asleep on the Nav walkthough, it went on for so long I didn't remember a single word he said, I just kept nodding.

Shumby,

Do you have an OB G37S? Were you driving around Riverdale on Saturday afternoon? I was there and saw a G37S with those rims while I was driving around.

It is just south of downtown in the valley by the Dawson Bridge I believe. It is a little residential area.

North side of the river.
