BK,

I am a big fan of all the model upgrades to the Infiniti sedan line. Nice choice sir.

BTW my last tank of gas cost $61 so if anybody is in the market for a nice Infiniti M45 Sport (V8) just let me know!

I would keep that car forever and ever. I use to drive my cousin's during the 90s when that model came out. That thing was like a yacht, I felt like the king of chicago driving down the street in that thing.

I was able to fit 8 people inside of it. 5 in the back and 3 in the front. And the trunk is to die for. Very few modern cars have a trunk that big.

During the 70s, 80s and 90s, a Lincoln Town Car use to rival Cadillacs far as luxury and prestige.

Yeah they've done a nice job with the new sedans. This one feels like a big upgrade over our 08 G35. 7 speed transmission really makes a difference as well. But the interior seems a little more refined while still keeping the sports car feel to the way it drives.

The way gas prices are going I may just start riding my bicycle everywhere.

The wife and I have boring cars. 2004 Toyota 4Runner and 2006 Nissan Murano.

We have an 09 Murano and love it!

Yeah I actually do like it more then I thought I would seats are very comfortable or atleast so i'm told every time I give someone a ride, trunk is huge but i've yet to have a need for it yet atleast. I'll prolly keep it throughout college atleast then we'll see from there.

It's almost identical to the 09 G37 my wife has. We sat the 11 G37 at the car show and the biggest difference was the placement of the fog lights. On the 09, they were part of the headlight cluster. In the 11, they dropped them down. The interiors were nearly identical (one difference was the small piece of silver on the arm rest at the center console).

Her car is more fun to drive than the Lexus GS 350. It's a lot tighter whereas the GS is a bit more loose in turns. Both can haul ***, but I like to drive her car more on back roads/curves and mine on the highway.

Regarding gas...I just don't care anymore. Both of our cars I put 91 or 93 into and they run $55-$70. I have a bad feeling we'll hit mid $4 this summer and probably won't drop much from that.

Yeah I think the big differnce is the front end is basically the same as the coupe now.

Yeah it's a fun car. I can tell a big difference with the extra 20Hp from my 2008 model and the 7 speed is noticeable.

Is the 09 a 7 speed?

I love the GS. It's the ultimate road cruiser.

1998 Honda Civic EX (Taffeta White) (Not my image)


I'm still looking for a job because I know even though this thing has done its job very well for the past four years, eventually I'll need to get my own new car. It's currently at 146,000 miles, but I haven't had a single problem since I took over driving it. I think I've put about 48,000 miles on it myself.

So far the tally:

Audi S5 1
Chevrolet Cobalt 1
Chevrolet Impala 1
Chevrolet Malibu 1
Chevrolet Silverado 1
Dodge Challenger 2
Dodge Charger 2
Ford Explorer 2
Ford Windstar 1
Honda Civic 2
Honda Pilot 1
Hyundai Tiburon 1
Infiniti G-Series 3
Jeep Wrangler 1
Lexus ES 1

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 1
Nissan Altima 1
Nissan Murano 2
Pontiac G6 1

Re: OS Cars Thread

Lancer Evolution IX and Subaru WRX? Very nice.

[bkrich83]

Re: OS Cars Thread

Is the EVO new? You've had the WRX for a while but I don't remember you having the EVO. You like?

[thaSLAB]

Did you?
Excellent. I'm pretty excited about this vehicle.
I'm going to try and get the 300 mile range model(they are 160-230 or 300)...the 49,000 model is the base model and has the 160 mile range....I'll have to see how much more they want for the 230 and 300 models.
I got a chance to test drive the Roadster when I went in and talked to the N.Y. dealer about the Model S and it was AWESOME.
I'll especially be loving it when fuel starts eclipsing $5.00 a gallon.
Surprising.....seats SEVEN!....2 in front(adults)...3 in back(adults) and then a third rear facing seat for 2 children(I won't be using those )
17" monitor in the front and panoramic glass give it a nice looking interior.


Slab...did you get to drive a prototype?

Good good stuff Knight. It will definitely pay dividends when fuel prices hit the ceiling! The dash monitor in that thing is even more crazy in person!

Unfortunately, I did not get to drive the proto... I did sit in it numerous times and google tho, LOL. I have some exclusive shots somewhere (shhhhh) - we actually did our testing on gas powered vehicles or on test stands with large electrical motors while the battery tech was being worked out.

All-in-all it was a fun project (and actually my last automotive related project) and is definitely an engineering feat and a work of art. Also, Elon Musk is a genius, really.
