ah ok good info to have.

On the topic does anyone know a good power steering tank I could use to replace the ugly yellowed plastic one?

 

Interesting question. Yours is yellowed? Really?

Being a somewhat crudely made piece of plastic, I suspect a brand new OEM reservoir wouldn't cost all that much, and would look 10X better... because all nice and newly white.

Also, have you ever looked at the cap? It has this Japanese letting all over it. A simple bit of sanding and painting with flat-black plastic paint, and it can look worlds better.

 

I like these orange VMS fender washers the most, will match the lambo orange calipers and headlight lambo orange eyelids very well !

 

So I'm selling my 2012 G37X. 35k miles, great condition, has bose premium sound / navi / backup sensors/camera, moonroof, etc. Most things other than the sports package, I believe.

I had it listed for $22,500, which I found to be just the average market value for the car. A dealership called me up and negotiated with me for a bit, and now they're prepared to cut me a check for $22,250.

I realize that it's often a con to get a customer into a store so they can further haggle down, but I spoke with the lady at length about this and told her I was absolutely not interested in selling it for a penny less to them, and she assured me that their offer price was legitimate. It's also a very highly rated dealership around here. So, assuming (and I realize this is still a big if) they're true to their word and offer me $22,250 when I bring it in tomorrow, is that a fair price? I thought $22,500 was a reasonable price, but now I'm beginning to wonder if it is since a dealership is jumping at the opportunity to buy it for $22,250. My experience in the past selling it to dealerships is they would always offer a few thousand below fair market value and that was that.

 

My PSS were delivered today. Hopefully I can drag my butt out of bed Sunday morning and get them mounted and balanced.

 

Awesome. After all your fuss, I'm expecting to sit down to a well-written, lengthy review. Either way, I know you're going to be really happy.

I finally received my valve stem adapter replacements today from Vossen. Getting my one bad wheel fixed tomorrow. Figure I've got another 6 to 8 weeks of pre-snow driving ahead of me, so it would be nice to get the fronts back on.

 

Fuss?? You must be mistaking me for someone else

I'm expecting awesomeness. At the very least, new summer tires > worn out summer tires

 

Okay, makes me wonder, why get new summer tires now? when winter is about to be around the corner, and max performance summer tires don't grip as well in fall season as well anymore as in summer, not mentioning winter at all.... I'm contemplating putting my duckfeet on with my all season DWS's until December when I get 2 rear winter tires but I just really don't wanna see the 'duckfeet' on the car unless there is snow

 

Because not everyone lives in New Jersey.

Or New York, for that matter. I usually put my snows on Thanksgiving weekend.

 

Yeah I know, if Lego lived in FL, that'd be pretty obvious. But doesn't NC get quite cold during winter and reach temperatures around 32 or below ? when I picked up my car and when I was even driving through TN or hell even Smokey Mountain at night, the temperature was really low about 40 degrees, and it was more than 90 degrees in Houston,TX when I picked up my car the day before so that makes it 50 degrees difference, hence the reason I think it gets quite cold over there so I can only imagine winter

 

It can get cold, but below-freezing temps are the exception, not the rule. Unlike up here, where it can stay below-freezing for months.

I hate winter.

If I lived in NC, I'd have a set of AS tires for winter, and a set of 3-seasons the other seasons. Only because driving on snow tires sucks donkey *****.

 

Our lowest average temperature is in January, 30* with an average daytime high of 51* with ~4" of annual snowfall. Snow tires would be a total waste of money, and all seasons would leave a lot on the table.

In the event it snows, the city shuts down. Its unbelievable. Milk and bread sells out. Schools call off based on forecasts of snow. My car is garaged, in the event it snow actually accumulates I can work from home, or, drive my wifes AWD Acura MDX and drop her off at work.

The mountains get quite different weather patterns than the piedmont area.

 

I use to do AS tires in winter, but it just wasnt worth it. We had two winters in a row with no snow. You're more likely to encounter above freezing temperatures and rain, in which case summer tires are going to perform better. Been running summers year round for 4 years now and ive been fine. A bigger problem is I dont even own a snow brush

I lived in the Cleveland suburbs for 30+ years, my hatred of winter drove me south

 

so after owning my G for about 5 years now I noticed that my G doesn't beep or make any sound to tell me if either my passenger's or my seat belt isn't buckled. Only the little light in the dash lights up. Is this the norm? i don't mind that it doesn't beep or w/e i just thought it was weird

 

Both of mine have been the same way. I don't mind it at all.
