Married, happy with my new family and kidlets, hating this new job (despite the money) because it isn't what I was led to believe.
Bonus time is coming though and maybe I'll seek employment elsewhere getting back to my slacker ways, modding cars, etc.
I really like the g35 coupe and the Stillen sc is laying over 320whp w/ a warranty. Not a bad deal...

I haven't been around much lately for you to follow my post history, so please don't be offended when I ask: Are you are a m0r0n?
Comptech = quality
quality > cheap
35more whp will have you seeing someone's rear bumper from 60ft after 1/4mile, more from a roll.

So, you kicked Cody to the curb? Another man in your life is gone? Should we be watching more Dr. Phil about this?
Anyway, I drove the g35c in Orlando at the Zshop. Stage II, laid 317whp in an '04 6speed. He had slips of 13.4xx w/ some grippy tires and 18" Volks. The car was phenomenally quick and easily could be a low 13 second car.
ps--I would have elected for the whole hood rather than the scoop!

Oh, and I think she will end up getting the whole hood though, looks better and that way people don't know what you got!
What's up? You gonna get the G35 or are you still thinking it over?

Welp, here's the dealio:
'04 S4 $50k out the door;
'04 CTS-V, $50k out the door w/ 3.9% for 72 months
'05 GTO, $34k out the door w/ 0% for 60 months
used '03-'04 G430 for appx $40-45k
'05 TL and pray the Comptech s/c comes about soon
'05 G35c, 6sp (won't arrive in the Southeast until late December/early January...
The American slugs are just that: Cheesy slugs that haul @$$. Can't beat the GTO for the price and fact $5k in mods would lay 420whp with no issues. It is at least somewhat decent on the inside (thank the Aussies) but is still a cheesebucket nevertheless. The CTS-V can't be beat either with $5k in mods for hauling around 4 people, but it is still so ugly and even worse inside than the GTO. The S4 scares me after 50k miles are up. Audi service in Jacksonville sucks @$$. The TL has the sweetest interior, best features, its styling has finally grown on me, but it is FWD and only the s/c would make it worth my while. $42k invested in it seems like a great deal to me to be another high 13 second, semi-luxury car. The Infiniti if plain sweet, has many readily available mods, is a bargain as far as cost and is RWD. The interior for '05 is finally up to at least my most minimum of standards whereas the older model wasn't.
Probably early February I'll make my change and have to sell my beast...That, or just forget about it and add the s/c and be happy another year or two and see what happens. I still love my TL-S, have a reasonably new tranny and another 28k miles of warranty to play with so who knows...
