Moving On

I took the leap and switched rides this week. I bought a 2010 G37 sedan. My S-Type was a great car, but I am bad at keeping cars beyond 2 years, csll it a new car addiction. I know it doesn't make financial sense, but it's better than being addicted to crack, I guess..Life is short, drive what you like. I tried to buy a 4G, just couldn't pass up 328hp & rear wheel drive. I had a 2005 G35 prior to the TL. I will probably be back in the Acura family when/if as SH-AWD TL Type-S comes out.

Adios.

Congrats on the new ride! Care to post any pics of the G? No need to leave AZ as we have other areas of the forum where you can hang out.

Moved to Car Talk.

Congrats on the new ride!

I would have a hard time giving up a KBP 6MT Type-S though.

That's because Infiniti's have more hp/tq and are rwd...why wouldn't you if you could? Reliability would be the only argument...

I can't even pretend that's accurate.

OP, congratulations on the new purchase. Now everyone can harass you for pics.

The Billy thread sucked in a bunch of new users (for better or worse) that don't drive Acura, and some have said they would like to. Sounds like good marketing, there.

For a brand-specific website, Acurazine seems to to have the most brand-agnostic membership anywhere.

I didn't want to be presumptuous. You know how it is when you get a new car and you look around and say "everyone's driving MY car!"

FL doesn't really have that many Miatas that I've seen. Mustangs, however, are like love bugs in season.

This is totally true. I haven't had an Acura since 06 but I still post here more than anywhere else. AZine FTW!!
