nice last comment :hehe:

A.D.When I was a senior in high school, our team won the state basketball tournament. During the course of the season, two guys on the team got kicked off it because they were caught smoking on school grounds. [/list:u]About 10-12 years later, I ran into one of the guys on that had been on the team. He was now a teacher back at our old high school. The same guy that had been head basketball coach was still there, still head coach and this guy was now one of his assistant coaches. I jokingly asked him if he'd had to kick anybody off the team for smoking and he said, "I don't even worry about winning or losing, if we get through the year and my players haven't gotten any of the cheerleaders pregnant, we had a successful season" [/list:u]

Well, since it's a car, how about how it accelerates, handles, shifts, etc.?

That's what I hate about cars nowadays: they pack in all these gadgets and fluff and forget about the driving experience... :shakehead:

People are so obsessed with creature comforts for their cars... Might as well buy a motor home.




End rant. :grumble:

The good news is that the G37 handles, accelerates, and shifts awesome. It's a great car.. just pretty expensive and not so fuel efficient. Other than than, it's a total beast.
