Talking How many of you....

Just get into your G and drive just for a hell of it? No goal, no destination just you, road, and the G.
Did about 100 miles last Saturday just to get a mahi sandwich by the beach (could have gotten the same one by driving about 4 miles)
Spent about 50 bux in tolls and gas, but it was worth it. This car is so smooth and comfy, I feel I can live in it.
Am I crazy? Or this is standard for a G owner?
Did the route attached, counter clockwise. I didn't bother taking any pictures, cuz it was a bit hazy, but I will do so next time I do this route. It's a lot of fun, and that sandwich is awesome!

I do that all the time.... when my car is in one piece. lol

But seriously, I seemed to be doing that whenever I get a chance no matter what car I'm in. My favorite was my 05 S2000.

All the time. I put on about 150 miles every other week just driving around especially at night.

That is why I get in my G most of the time. I never really have anywhere to go when I get in the G. I have a daily driver to go do these things.

nice, unfortunately driving anywhere you don't know is not safe in japan because you may end up on a "street" that would start narrowing and then will become more narrow than your car. Sometimes navi doesn't specify this little detail.

Nice route. I used to live in Saitama, but never owned anything with more than 2 wheels while I was there.

I think it is fun to get lost and then find your way back. I sometimes find myself on a road that is very fun to drive on.

I have a 5/at and I love to let the rpm get to around 5k before shifting. I love the sound the G makes. I have Fast Intentions catback.
