Thanks for serving boss.

Doesn't help much but if I lived up that way I'd have a beater 4WD truck, Explorer or Blazer or something for winter duty. Keep the nice RWD car stored away, helps with insurance. Any idea how long your assignment will last up there? Resale I'd image would be easier on the AWD in those parts if you do get an X. BTW, silver is pretty easy to keep clean. Maximum mileage is a judgement call, financing usually wants under 100K. Pretty sure CH3NO2 is for badasses only.

That's true on the AWD resell. Hopefully this will be my last winter. I've done my time, 4 years this Jan. Worst state I have ever lived in, would not wish it on anyone. Thanks for the info.

1. Well white is by far the "cleanest" color. I don't find it the most appealing though personally. I have the black and yes it needs to be babied and cleaned but when its shined up it is striking. The dark grey has a nice look to it as well.



2. My car is a princess and doesn't touch snow or rain so I can't comment on winter driving. I have driven the AWD and didn't really like it, The RWD sport model feels more spirited and the many more mods available. Few friends with AWD and winter tires have been fine in winter, as have my friends with RWD and winter tires...

3. I have had zero problems (minor battery issue) with my car, 50K on it and still original clutch etc etc. I wouldn't be too concerned about that, you mentioned your jeep was bad on gas.. well I'm getting 16mpg with my heavy foot but it is worth it.

4. I don't know anyone on meth, these cars aren't the best mod cars. It is pretty much throw a twin turbo kit on it and call it a day if you want power.

I have used Infiniti Winnipeg for when I had the car imported, and they treat you like a king. You will also pay like a king. Hoping by this summer my garage/shop will be completed and all work will be done in house.

Good luck on the purchase, and yes Happy Harry's is my goto spot. I smile just walking in the door ;0

EDIT ---- haha somehow just read you bought a lexus...... well congrats

Man that lexus is nice....but you may have missed out on owning a 37. They are nice rides. But if you were already set on getting a sedan then I guess it doesn't matter. IMO the g37 coupes are more appealing to the eye than the lexus models. Now on the hardtop convertible options lexus doesn't hold a candle to the 37's. That being said the BMW hardtop VERTS are extremely pimpin and have more room for your passengers. Hella pricey too tho
