Check out what I did this past weekend...56k beware

Here are some of the pics I liked...







I never knew how cramped the trunk of the G35 is. It's like they're carrying more than a full sized spare or something. It's hard to see in the pic tho...



The rest of the pics can be found here http://www.bui4ever.com/gallery.htm just scroll to the very bottom.

what part of san jose is that. looks like evergreen hills or something. i really want to check out your car when i get down there in may. cant wait for summer.

Actually looks like some place off of capital avenue going towards evergreen college. Humm maybe the new housing complexes on the left hand side, towards the hill, on the way towards evergreen college. I live around there too. very nice neighborhood.

If I were to go out and buy a G35c tomorrow, I'd get this one. But of course, I like the red car too

You're not the only one, go to another popular forum (general car forum).....and post a poll on what car people would prefer an Acura CL or G35C. The Acura would lose by a landslide, have seen it happen twice already.

2 things I don't like about the G35, which have been discussed ad nauseum.....1) the interior, 2) the huge rear bumper.

Those few things would keep me from considering the car, mostly the interior.

Yea but did you see the photos the car is bigger than the TL and CL-S it makes them look like compact cars. I hate the interior and I think they are too much money for what it is. I think next year when they work out the kinks of the car they are going to white out the tails with the cirles in the middle red or vice versa.
You mean to tell me if you get a good deal on the G and a decent trade you wouldn't....come-on ......

Once again people...thank you for the kind compliments! The location is near Evergreen valley area in San Jose, CA. I own the CL, redryder83 owns the TL, and redryder83's friend owns the G35c. All the cars are automatic.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the G35. I'm not going to hate on it either, but it's just not my style. I rather have a Z...even with the fugly door handles. Even now, with all the new cars out, I still like my CL. It's still a great car to me. I don't see "her" as merely a stepping stone on to another car in like 2-3 years. Despite what's going to happen (tranny failures and what not) I have no buyer's remorse. Don't get me wrong, a lot of nice cars I wouldn't mind owning...but to me...this CL-S is special....why? Because it's my car. I will run her to her death before consider moving on. I'm with Shawn S as far as this. And everytime I'm starting to think...I should have gone with this or that car...I drive her and let her loose, and then I remember all over again, just how beautiful she is. Just my 2 cents...this is not intended to attack anyone or their opinions.

hey peiqinglong I live in the north valley area in san jose. You should check out the moutians by sierra road/piedmont rd. Its kinda of narrow but it has nice shots of the city from the top. I was just wondering how do you get to the everygreen hills? Is it on capital. Thanks.
