Lance, glad to hear you had fun on the honeymoon.

Taylor, what did you end up doing for the uneven drop?

i thought the DIR day was this saturday but i was told that its only for compact cars. i think ours is next month sometime. we should sign up!

John and I finally took the time and got the engine out of the Mazda and demounted the transmission from it. now its off to the second can and then i'm pretty sure that the biggest B;TCH will be putting it back in

I think I would place all blame on you for that since you were the one that talked me into using it the first time on the grille. Jk, but I plan on actually painting the window chrome.

I've never done it, is it hard? Or is it just a spray that you put on there?

Its just a rattle can spray. Its a rubbery substance though, unlike regular spray paint so it can be peeled off or reversed. Its perfect for jobs that you're "unsure" if it will look good or not because its more of a "trial job"/nonperminant.

What's up fellas? I'm trying to decide atm whether to get a G35 6MT or fork over some serious dollar for the G37. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a dealer with a G37 6MT... I've driven many G35s and defintely like how the clutch/throttle feel.

Would anyone be kind enough to let me drive their G37 stick around a block or two? I just want to see how the clutch/throttle feel vs. the G35 6MT. I promise to be gentler on throttle/clutch engagement than handling a newborn.

Since it will most likely be an out of state purchase, I'd love it if I could get some in-car experience on a G37 before I fly out and drive one home. Let me know!


Thanks,
Paul

I have an M45 so I'm out LOL. I've heard the clutch and pedal feel on the 37s is much better than the 35s, and the engine isn't as coarse either. Engagement is much better etc. But price is much more expensive. There aren't many coupes available out there. My friend was looking at a black one out in Chicago thats 26k, but that was the cheapest he had found thus far. Personally I'd say to go for the 37, its taken a few years but I've come to like the interior and look of the 37s. But to each their own lol

They are quite a bit more refined than the 35s like Mike said.

As for a meet, I'll prob be planning on for July sometime. Try and throw dates out atleast a month or so in advance because of everyones busy schedules.

You son of a gun! Haha!! Keep in mind we are still meeting for Cars n Coffee in Chanhassen on the 2nd, that will be the closest meet as of now. Although I don't know of anything that is just G drivers and that one M guy yet, but Lance is our fearless leader, so we tend to help him out with that kinda stuff when we can
