He also told me that on 9 out of 10 test drives, the car being driven is redlined. So, if you car has 20 miles on it when you bought it, you can be assured it was redlined a time or two.

too late my friend, i got it last night and I've red lined it plenty of times, I drove the **** out of it last night and wow what an experience that was. I could never have done the **** I did last night in my G35, no way. And honestly i don't give a ****, It's a 3 year lease, not my problem after that.

When I was buying the car, I asked the dealer, "Do I have to break it in." He looked at me laughed and gave me a face which went a little like this, "you just bought a G37,drive the **** out of it until your lease is up from the moment you drive out of here".
