Time for a new car

[SVT666]

Camaro.

That made me LOL.

It's still raining today, but I will take pictures as soon as I get home from my kids' swimming lessons.

Why not take a picture with your mobile phone and put it on FB?

CTS

CTS

You're such a Cadillac whore, man.....

How's your car doing, BTW?

[Raza]

That made me LOL.

[SVT666]

2009 Infiniti G37xS
Identical to the previous Infiniti I looked at but without NAV and lower mileage.

[MX793]

I thought you didn't want the lighter interior for fear of stains?

[CALL_911]

I thought you didn't want the beige interior?

Congrats, man. Great choice.

[Raza]

Congratulations on the new car, man.  Too bad about the Focus. 

[Northlands]

Nice car. Also one of my favorite sounding 6 cylinder engines.

[Payman]

Congrats! Now get rid of the Focus and build yourself a Factory Five.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Park the Focus in a barn and forget about it for 20 years.

[SVT666]

Being worried about stains was paranoia speaking.  Besides it's impossible to find a different interior colour with the white exterior.

[TurboDan]

Nice car! Congrats!

[J86]

Congrats on the new ride!  Nice car.

[Lebowski]

Nice choice.

[dazzleman]

Congratulations, man.  Nice choice!    I've been thinking about a G37 also.

How was the drive from Vancouver?  What types of roads were you on, and how was the speed/handling combination?  What was your top speed, and how did it handle hills, curves, etc?

[hotrodalex]

I love that interior.

I hope that the front bumper is just dirty, not rock chipped to hell...

[SVT666]

Every last one of those specks are bugs.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Now vinyl wrap that roof black and tint the windows!     

[J86]

Every last one of those specks are bugs.

So annoying.  Fighting those, especially in the summer, is such a Sisyphean task, however.

[MX793]

Now vinyl wrap that roof black and tint the windows!     

Vinyl?  How tacky.  On a car like that, only a beige felt faux-landau will do.

[SVT666]

I'm thinking about the black wrap.  I love how yours looks.

[Vinsanity]

Congrats! I happen to like the beige seats over black seats. Gives the interior a greater sense of depth. Regular application of leather conditioner and cleaner should keep it looking decent for a good few years (that's what I do, and it's helped the leather hold up pretty well).

Next...

How's your car doing, BTW?

Haha, it's kind of my duty to relish in everything Cadillac

The car's holding up pretty well. Closing in on 76k miles and still chugging along. Speaks appear every now and then from the body and interior, but the powertrain and drivetrain are as strong as ever. Exactly how my family's old '92 Seville was at 76k miles

How's the Bimmer doing?

The Bimmer is doing great.  I only have about 48K miles on it.

What year is your car?  76K is not a whole lot of miles.  IIRC, you commute to work by train now, so you can't indulge your need for speed on a daily basis.  What's the longest drive you ever took the Caddy on?

The car's an '04, so it's doing just under 10k miles per year, but as of last week, my company relocated me to work out of an office that's a 20 minute drive from home, so I'm starting to get more bonding time with Caddy, and of course more opportunities for the occasional burst of speed

The longest drive I've taken it on is the ~270 mile trip to Vegas about every year or so. And I avoid making even that drive because there are just too many damn cops along that route now. The GF mentioned maybe doing a road trip to the Grand Canyon this summer, though. That's about a 500 mile drive.

That drive to Vegas must be pretty sweet.  I love a nice open road.  There are so few of them around here.

Are you happy with the move, or would you prefer to stay in the old office?
