Cool New kid here. Q60S on the way

Hey guys my name is Christian, 23yrs old, recently moved to Austin TX. (like last week)
I am a huge car enthusiast, previously owning a Mazda Miata, turbo Jetta, a Lexus IS250, then IS350, and currently driving a Lexus IS-F. All very modified. I moved to Austin because I got the job here at Austin Infiniti as a Sales Consulatant....cool thing is Infiniti pays for some of your car payment each month if you buy a new car from them, so I just ordered a 2014 Q60S 6MT. Was going to get an IPL, but I plan on swapping the suspension and exhaust so no reason to pay so much for one anyways...possibly the IPL aero kit in the future...

I know the Q60 is significantly slower than my ISF but honestly I would rather have a turbo'd V6 over my monster V8... plus MPG will be better

Just wanted to introduce myself. Thanks for reading! I will be on here looking for parts and advice very soon!!

Welcome to the site Christian, nice group of rides you've put together at only 23, pretty impressive
Congrats on your new job & Q60, shoot some pics and even a couple IS-F shots, those cars are pretty tasty.

Thanks man I started selling cars straight after 2 years in college. Finally was able to afford an IS250 which I always wanted and eventually moved up to the ISF which was my dream car lol let me post some pics. Q60S should be at the dealership in a week

No that's on the TO-DO list tho....haha yeah it was so nice having almost 500 horses in the Lexus but honestly I'd rather have a 6mt and be slammed to the ground over the power.. Plus I've already had the Q60 a week and haven't filled up the gas tank once....MUCH better than the ISF
