37 noob! ;)

Hello MYG37! What's up. NOOB to the site, been on driver for many years prior. My 35 was involved in an accident, repaired it, and sold it! Bought several cars after the 35. Went to a 06 LS430, sold it, went and bought a Tacoma X-Runner, sold it, then got a 2014.5 Camry, didn't like it much, gave it to my wife... I took her old car, drove it for a year and sold it.
Then on the hunt for an AWD Sienna ( hahahha) didn't like what was available. So in the end, got me a G37S coupe with low mileage. Loving this one so far, at some times, it almost makes me feel like I'm back in my 04 coupe.

Here are some pics of my previous rides...(please excuse the ****ty cellphone pics)

Sienna AWD. That was epic. My mom has one and Im trying to push her to get the Explorer Ecoboost and retire the minivans (hate them with a passion).

Welcome to the site!

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
Similar, nothing too aggressive. I guess I'll be looking at + 15 on a 9.5 and +25 10.5. As I'm gathering information, I think that would be ideal for me. Finding used discontinued wheels with the right size is taking longer than expected. I've got time. ...

Lol, awd Sienna, you don't like? Can I ask why? Reason for me was because I got a kayak fishing hobby, plus three kids and a wife. I figured it would have been a good all around vehicle for my family. I think I'm happy with the coupe. Just will need another vehicle for family and fishing activities. Awd van still on my list. Can't haul a kayak around with the coupe.

lol, I just don't like minivans. We had them in my family for too long. With the new SUVs, esp the EcoBoost Explorer or even Premium version is just as good. It seats 7 as well, has a great tow capacity, and overall built well.

I would def want something with power though, enough to carry 7 passengers and not struggle going up a hill, haha. Our minivan right now, well it has a heart attack every time it climbs a hill lmao.

Looks like my plans came to a halt. Totaled my coupe Friday night. I t boned a maxima. .. dude was at a stop sign facing south, I was traveling west. He tried to make a left to go east, came out and I only had a split second to get on the brakes. Ended up hitting his drivers side, hard! Luckily no serious injuries. His kids were shaken up, I sure hope they're okay. I'm a little sore in the neck, back, and hip. Police report is in my favor. Dude's story wasn't matching up. Officer was like, this guy is full of sh.t, ruin a nice guys day...
I may or may not get back into a G. Well see... thanks forum, I've done many things to the coupe only with the help and knowledge from the helpful folks on here.

Btw, that makes 2 Gs I've wrecked. .. none of them my fault.
I'm try to get some aftermath photos up soon.

Man, we barely got to know you
Hope there's no lingering injuries from this to you or the others.
If you do replace w/ another Infiniti keep us posted.
