Well, the car is due to go back in March and I hate to say it but that's about it for me and the G37. Lots of things I liked about this car. The look is fantastic the engine is nice, the handling with the sway bar is nice, the electronics is fantastic and it even sounded nice. I wouldn't buy it again though. The roof rattle and creek was just plain old awful. The seat bubble was a disappointment. and little things like the seat belt buckle nicking the metal plate on the door. Who put that thing there like that?!?! All in all I felt like the car was just under engineered or something. I was a bit disappointed to be honest. Anyways, after looking at the 911 4S Cabrio, the IS-F, the GTR, the M3; I decided on the S5 Convertible STaSIS. I figure it was only a hold car till I got the 991 if I choose to so for a year it should be just fine. Also, since it's going through a refresh I got one hell of a deal on a brand new one. Anyways, the car gets here in 2 weeks and then the STASIS guys take it for a month so I'm driving the Infiniti for another 2-3 months. Been a fun ride and I truly hope the Infiniti people have figured out the kinks.
Couldn't agree with you more. My convertible sounds like a POS. Rattles and squeeks coming from the rear when the top is up is nothing less then fustrating. The Leather seats need improvement, terrible seatbelt design, and one failed auto transmission. Time to move upto something with a better build quality. The car is a head turner, fun to drive, with descent power but when it comes down to it I honestly can't wait for this lease to end.

Seriously Cereal? Uh yeah sure next time I take the California out (maybe this weekend if I can get some sunshine) I'll snap a shot. I could get the Ford GT on Saturday at a weekend drive my friend runs too I suppose. Heck, if I drive all the way to the air force base my other friend is drives an apache so I could even get that!

Yep, I'm serious. I can't submit photos to do my own photo challenges so I fear they will be up there forever.
You can get a all 3. No rush haha.

Here ya go Cereal. Sorry I didn't go to the monthly drive I was in Kona on the beach. Amazing both of these cars are going bye bye. The new S5 Stasis Convertible is in the garage behind the cars here. Meanwhile the FF lands in New Jersey in 3 days. So the Cali is going bye bye too.
Notice in this shot the G is just a damn fine looking car??? Still think the electronics/interface is the best in the business. Why couldn't they have just put it together smarter?? Oh well.
Oooh by the way, I just got a Mclaren MP4-12C. Interesting car.

Well if it makes you feel better about your choice. David E Davis had a S5 cabrio as his personal car before he passed away this year. That says a lot from a guy who has driven them all. It is an excellent car if you have good luck with evading repair. Good luck with it.

Still have the G. Took it to Tahoe for it's last hurrah. Nice drive actually. Meanwhile, the replacement to the Cali is now in my garage!!!





Man this thing drives amazing. Not pure sports car like the 458 but more sports car GT car if that makes sense. It may not be a "looker" (the 458 spyder gets here in April) but it's one heck of a car. Some cool things include dual (dual?) front video cameras, rear camera, and this weird triple lcd screen in that little black bar above the glove compartment so the passenger can see tach, speed, and other things. Kind of neat actually. The Ferrari guys as a semi joke even put in a PS3 with Forza Motorsports into the integrated rear entertainment system connected to 6 dvd changer. I had to admit that was pretty funny/nice of them.

Here's my guess -->

He works in a US-based investment banking and fund management group founded for the purpose of investing in technology companies with both strong growth prospects and quality management teams. While his company offers many financial solutions, their main focus is managing a group of captured equity funds that target small-cap to micro-cap technology and biotechnology companies. In the past, those investments have taken the form of everything from directly purchased direct common shares to preferred shares to debentures.

His success is mainly attributed to the dedicated professionals that make up the team. His hands-on approach and committed service is one of the many benefits companies rely on and have come to expect and appreciate. He considers himself a partner with it's investment companies and assists in a multitude of ways including 144 block purchases, mergers/acquisitions advisory work and general market advice.

He hosts a diverse group of analysts and professional bankers that bring a broad knowledge of today's technology fields. Additionally, his team has a fundamental understanding of today's small cap equity markets and the pitfalls that may lie therein. This creates a unique team that has the ability to focus on the individual needs of clients while taking into account the effects of today's market.
