I drove an 05 g35 coupe, before cracked the head gasket and traded in on my 370z. I used to love that car until I got my Z and realized that it's more of what u wanted.

kenchan 08-12-2014 11:11 AM

i still have my G with brembo's. the Z cant replace the G35C.

Aescen 08-12-2014 11:36 AM

I miss my G35 a lot. Sad that I traded it.

Bummer it got totaled. A 300K rig is always fun to brag about. I'm only at 137K on my Dakota. Still going though. May have some work to do on the xfer case though.

Well judging by the age of your vehicles, I don't think you have a pension YET.

But you might have a penchant for picking women who can't drive :-p

wheee! 08-14-2014 10:48 PM

This was my favourite car I drove before the 370.... 1979 Plymouth (Dodge in Canada) Fire Arrow
2.6 litre Hemi engine, 5 spd manual, 4 wheel disc brakes, overhead console....

Looking back I can see why I bought it! It sure looks like the old 280 sitting in my garage now!

To be fair, the engine crapped out around 240K miles. Spent $5K putting in a V8 with 40K miles in it, and it was running beautifully for another 40K miles before a Geo Metro managed to total it :shakes head:
