Hello all, I have made the long journey to being the proud owner of a 2012 Infiniti G37 Coupe in Slate Blue, and I could not be happier! I got an amazing example with low(ish) miles, one previous owner, an amazing price, about as perfect condition as one could expect for a car half a year old.

G37 first day in BR

The deal ended up being so amazing in my favor due to a disasterious flood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana last year....long story short my 2010 Acura TL got a bit of water inside, not in the engine, but it was declared a total loss due to my zip code, without anyone actuary looking at the car it was just towed away, and "totaled". Without a doubt someone is cruising around in that very nice and fun ride to this day...well, it can't be helped at this point. Here is that total loss, flooded car;

Bye bye TLAlso pictures is m perpetual "project car", a 1995 Lexus SC400 in indefinite hold since that flood. Before the TL came 2009 BMW 128i, great little car that I loved as I was a huge proponent of the naturally aspirated straight 6's, I had this for a couple years and while I loved the balanced handling and engine, it was quite small and too expensive for a medical student who only gets part time work for Transcripts at the moment. My mother is also legally blind and obv I need to drive her to many spots, appts and such, that said she still somehow preferred the German, Go figure
Fun lil Bimmer ... I also had a 1995 325ic convertible which was loads of fun in the early 'naughts, but mechanical issues built up too much and I was only out of high school in 2000. Those days I had a '93 Honda Prelude VTEC that I introduced a tree into. The latter won handily. Last old pic here pronto, just showing that I wasn't kidding;
Yea, that used to be a Prelude (amazingly I only was in an induced 3 day coma, broken jaw, several cuts and scars, but No other broken bones or spinal damage, etc..)


Thats enough about out my old rides for now. Also had a 2001 Acura CL Type - S which was fun if a little bland over time.

I am in love with RWD again, it was the main thing the TL lacked, and a 330'hp engine as well. After a year and over 10,000 miles of perfection I am starting to look into possibly personalizing it a little with a few basic modifications. I did this with my Prelude heavily (I/h/e, Tein coil overs, complete sound swap, few cosmetic things), my first 3-series a bit in suspension mods, and a Injen intake on the TL ((for that lovely sound more than anything, plus the different Acura 18's and better tires on them.
I look forward to getting to know you guys and girls better and wish you all a good Monday morning from my locale, sorry for rambling on my first posts, but I've been reading this place/lurking for quite some time, even long before I had my own G. Cheers!
