I actually have a buddy whose Mom just got rid of her '06 GS350. It was white with beige leather, absolutely gorgeous car with about 20K miles on it. She ended up giving it to her ungrateful son who has probably destroyed it now and got herself an LS... I wish I could have hooked you up

NICE!! Congrats dude!!! and welcome to the Infiniti family



btw, sorry I didn't stick around in COD4 last night... I was kinda tired and when that match started, this... ONE guy kept sniping me like crazy... I died like 5 times within the first 2 minutes... he was pissing me off but the harder I tried getting him, he just kept killing me so I left... and called it a night

Needs to be something bigger and with a hatch so the dog can have his own space and we can actually use the backseat for people (he currently takes up the whole thing at almost 100 lbs and growing).

Which: Currently leaning in this order - Pontiac G8 GT, TL-S, G35 sedan, BMW 5 series

When: As soon as my CL-S6 starts requiring more $$ than logical to keep it.

Why: See above



I'd like a sport sedan next, and it will be autotragic (wifey has to be able to drive it), and I drive ALOT of rush hour, and even though I love my 6 speed CL-S, it gets tiresome in traffic sometimes.

Which: 06 Infiniti M35x

When: Whenever I sell my 02 Civic, but if push comes to shove, I'll just trade it in at whatever dealer I purchase the M from, hopefully before Mar 09.

Why: Personally I want a new car, had my civic for 3 years now. Also I'm in love with M35, and all the features it comes with. Plus, they are selling like dirt at the moment, especially in ATL, and I'm willing to make that drive.

PS: I love the TL as well, but the M has more bang for my buck. Unless I get an unbelievable deal with a 06 - 07 TL, I don't see myself owning one.

Which: next gen M5 or M3
When: whenever they come out
Why: to shut up all the 335 driving M3 haters "the m3 has no torque"

Although my M3 is fast, I would like to really get pinned to the seat sometimes.

What : C2 Motorsports Stg 2 turbo kit for my MKIV R32 + Ohlins suspension to replace the Bilstein PSS9s.
When : 2009 sometime
Why : because after so many cars I've owned, nothing beats the low key stealth factor the "Golf" has.

DD- got my Honda RC51 for a "DD".

VW GTI or Scirroco, or equivalent / in 2013, after I graduate Law School (Goodness willing) / I love my current GTI, feel it suites my lifestyle well, and does everything I ask for of a car with little compromise.

OR

just take my current engine to Stage III and above (pushing 500 HP) and current DSG transmission to Stage IV (upgraded clutches, revamped TCU)

PM you want any IS-F info...I bought one in September. A lightly used example in your purchase time frame should be considerably less expensive. Who knows, I might be tired of mine by then (but I doubt it).

If anyone here has an E90/92 M3, C63 AMG, or the new CTS-V somewhere near Columbia SC let me know. A pre-holiday "cars and coffee" outing would be nice.

I've got 85K on my CL 6spd, so I think I'm good for awhile...

Next car will probably be RWD. Not sure what, as the rwd coupe market is getting interesting.
