It is quite offensive to call BS upon someone without solid proof, that's why it matters

It effects me because MyG37.com is a an online community which I am apart of. But when someone new comes along and is given a terrible first impression about our community, it reflects badly on all of us. If enough new people are instantly turned off by the members on this community, then we'd have a much harder time growing, now wouldn't we? (And what fun is it without newbies? )

Let's put it this way, when you meet someone and that says "hi, I'm Bob and I like beer." Do you turn around and harping on him because you haven't seen him with a beer and he doesn't have any in his fridge when you meet him? No. So why do it here? Instead, you would probably say "hi" back and talk about beer or whatever...Sure he could be lying (in person even). It doesn't really matter in a thread like this and it is why I felt the need to say something.

Personnaly, I'm all for ensuring that someone is legit when they are offering advice or facts (especially when it's going to cost $$$)...but it isn't called for in this setting.

What ever... To the OP if you indeed have all those cars, sorry for calling you out. Post up your G37 and lets call it a day. I don't come on here sharing about my lexus, I do that over on the club lexus forum. People come on here to share ideas and interests for the infiniti line of cars, and I would welcome your comments on your new G, enough said.

I know someone who had an M6 and shared unfamiliar negative sentiments, stating that he didn't like the ride and it wasn't enough car, yada yada yada. But then we found out why he got rid it (2nd DWI).

Congrats on the purchase and awesome line-up. Only things missin - Lambo & Maserati...

Supposedly does own a Maserati and did own a Lambo ... would think a former owner would not call it a "2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Convertible" but rather it's real name "2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder".

"M56s comes down to earth pricewise" really? Is money really an issue?

Ha. Well I'm in San Diego picking the car up and not driving back till we'd or thu. Yeah that's me on r8 forum. I'm more active on carfaq.org where everyone is pretty familiar with the cars I've had. Used to be on the other site when I had the m45 but signed off when I got the m6. I think it was called liquid alloy or something. Anyways, real sorry if you guys have bs alarms going off. Bit of a catch 22, if I post pics now of the garage or the old pics, I'm a bad showy guy or a moron for driving a g37. If I don't then I'm full of it. Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. In any event, just because I can buy the newer m doesn't mean I want to drop full price on an Infiniti. It is also a few inches too long for my home garage. Oh and I call it a gallardo convertible because that is what it is. Spyder and convertible mean essentially the same thing. Spyder refers to convertible sports car. It is much like saying g37 two door. Or the quatroporte is really just four doors. Anyways, I didn't want to cause some big stir of the pot, I'm just a car guy and liked the G. Never quite had a reception on a board like I did here.

I disagree. Post the pics please. We want to see the stable of rides. New pics. Credibility means something, even on the internet. Either way, welcome to the forum.

I don't care what implications it has or what anyone else says but I know almost all of us would love to see pictures of different cars, whether it be a G or Ferrari. Since we all share a passion for cars, I'm sure you'd understand. Now post some pictures!

Besides, sharing is caring.

Welcome to the forum!

It's funny how upset/confused people become when a person's car collection includes exotics! I know a few people who own exotics, but they choose their minivans and Camrys as their daily drivers. Didn't Forbes Magazine once state that Warren Buffett still drive his old Subaru wagon? Whether due to practicality or desire for anonymity I think Trincap's car collection makes tons of sense. I wouldn't drive an R8 to the grocery store or anywhere other than a track - think of the drooling, dinging, and denting that'll happen on the way over there! Surprising as it may seem, many people who are financially blessed choose not to show it off in public 24/7 (smart for many reasons).

Anyway, I went from driving 2 G35 coupes and an M35 to a shiny new Honda Odyssey (which I love) due to the little ones I love the G37 Coupe and Vert and would love to jump back into one when the time it right. If the car just feels right and you like it who cares how much it costs, especially if cost is not an issue?

Hey man, don't get annoyed by the haters. Hope you stick around.
Actually, I think it's really cool that a wealthy person like you went for same car as us, tells a lot about how good the car is. Do you have any plans on modding it?

May I also recommend a good camera with your latest car purchase?

More pics of your collection, pls..

I'm new here as well and have nothing like the laundry list of beautiful machinery in my garage that you do, but I'm just as surprised at this reception. Seems strange to react as defensively as some here. If you decide to post pics, count me amongst those who would appreciate you taking the time. If you choose to go elsewhere, I would not fault you for one second.
