Another Garage Queen Added last week

Since I'm sold on Infinitis, I picked up another one.

I've driven my FX about 1k miles this year.... I'll probably drive this one even less. The M will be my new toy.

Well, my in-laws have yet to come to the State for a visit this year so I haven't really driven the FX much. I will start driving it in October through January.

M will be my toy.

Under 1k mile a year?!? Hell I think a collection garage queen sees more mileage!

In any event nice cars, but drive them more!

I've had my G for 6 weeks and I've gone already 2k. Nice pick up! Do yourself a favor and give them the road time they deserve!

So much scrutiny on the internet if you leave out even the smallest bit of info (I guess I deserve it).

Let's just pretend I didn't post the info on the 1k miles driven this year (I will drive it regularly very shortly).

My sister and I picked up a G37 coupe for my mom last year. It is definitely sporty and perceived more as a toy for majority of the posters here, but it's not a practical car for me since I have kids (maybe a sedan would work - didn't consider the G...). Personally, I don't speed or do anything crazy (I gotta stay alive for the kids).

I guess the reason I bought it was because I missed my 03 TL Type S and I personally think it's a good looking sedan for what it is.

Wow, you're going to drive it a whole three months worth. Better watch out, you might actually need an oil change!

To some people a "toy" is a fine luxury car...not everyone wants a stripped out track car as a "toy"

Well I would've prefered a different four door sedan, but since you love Infiniti that would be the obvious choice.

I am a CPA and I think I can manage my money without anyone telling me how to There is no need to comment on my financial decision. You should be like others and comment on my definition of a "toy"

We were looking at GS350, but my wife thought the M looked better. I personally prefer Infiniti over Lexus, but that's my personal pref.
