newbie owner, long time lurker

I have a problem with over researching something before buying...which typically ends up with me missing many great deals because I just think and think and research it so long that someone else jumps on it.

This time...I was ready! lol I had been reading this site and a few others over and over and I knew exactly what packages I would have liked, and ones I could maybe do without if I had too. I lucked out and got a showroom floor model that was ordered for the dealership. It had just about everything on it for 2008 that could be added. Was bought by a PGA golfer on tour and he traded it for a TRACTOR!? It sat for nearly a year and half at a John Deere dealership and the PO found it and took it home. He had it for a while but jsut didn't get to drive it much with his job (Home builder) keeping him in the dually all day and having a family..so up for sale it went. I jumped.

2008 g37s - Grey Metallic - 49k miles
Tech package, Premium package, Sport package, dual sliding sun roof, navigation, spoiler w/cam..blah blah

I'm still finding all the little things on this car, but the one that is on top is...I LOVE IT!

I can't stop thinking about it, can't stop wanting to drive it...just so much fun and excitement packed in this thing!

Only a few mods..exhaust and new staggered stance wheels..mostly stock from there... We shall see where I take it from there. I've owned a Jeep for the last 10 years so this is a HUGE change in driving from a lifted Jeep on 35" wheels. I use to race rally in my younger days and grew up around it, but just strayed away for awhile. It's very nice to get back to a little bit of speed, handling and luxury for a change. Glad to be a part of the club!

The day I picked her up..
