New to site.

Hey. I'm new to the site. Figured I would register after lurking the threads for however long it's been.

I don't currently own a G37, or any Infinity for that matter, but I will be buying one this year. As soon as my settlement gets settled. Currently I have a 93 240sx (S13) fastback I use for drifting. It's currently down and out for the time being until I can build my SR motor for it. I drive a 94 Del Sol daily simply cause it's great on gas, and 100 miles a day takes it's toll on the wallet. I used to have an 08 R6, but I was rear ended by an F-150 in July, so thats where the settlement money comes into play.

I'm pretty much an adrenaline junky, if thats what you want to label it. Everything from drift, to stunting bikes. I love cars, and really can't wait to get my G37s. I have been looking into them for the better part of a year. Originally I was looking for a new G35, but now that they are discontinued, I only have one direction left. So yeah. Thats about it. Feel free to ask questions or say hi.

Awesome, welcome to the forum!

My only questions are do you have any pics of the 240sx? lol.

And an R6 eh? Nice bike! Too bad you got rear ended. My uncle was/is thinking of getting one to replace his FZR (but he is still pretty happy with the FZR). I don't ride.... well on the street that is! I have an 08 Suzuki LTR450, now that thing is an adrenaline rush! lol.

Thanks. I do have pics, but I am at work right now, and I can't pull up my photobucket account. I will get to them when I get home tonight. Or... atleast I'll try to remember.

Thanks. Good to know I'm all alone in the valley here.

The truck hit me at about app. 40 MPH. I broke my right shoulder blade, and crushed 2 bones in my left ankle/foot. One was in 7 pieces, and the other was in 3 pieces. They had to put 4 screws in to keep the larger parts togeather, as well as remove smaller shards, and add some cadaver bone as well. I missed a punctured lung by quarter of an inch, and had to have 3 staples to close it. My doc also told me I was lucky not to have collapsed a lung. I guess the force it takes to break a shoulder blade is enough to collapse one if not both. His explenation was because the shoulder blade is a free floating bone held in place by muscle and tissue, and really has no connection to other bones, therefor allowing more room to move and give under pressure. Or something to that effect. They are now looking into my left knee. It locks up and is swollen more often than not. Possibly torn ligaments. Not sure just yet. The bike is totalled, so... yeah. Thats life. I can post up some after pics of the bike and my hospital pics if you guys are interested. (As soon as I get home.)

Seriously welcome! Damn glad you survived, and hope you haven't been in pain due to all of that. You'll love the G37, I'm sure.
