To those who say we never post pics...

I made it home on a sunny 70+ degree day, so I had time to wash my car.

Here are some pics (a couple of them should show the clear sidemarkers):

That is a beautiful car. No stock 5th gen max can hold a candle to it.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Yeah the wheels are 17 inch, for some reason they look bigger after I clean the wheels and tires.

I'd like to lower it, but I have a warranty to contend with as well as spending a lot of money on struts that I don't have right now.

Anyways..stay tuned...there should be a very unique addition to "Black Beauty" within the next few weeks..

I definitely agree that a nice I35 like this beats a 5th gen Max, but I prefer the headlights and grill of a 4th gen or I30.

And nice Lumina...is it on Potenzas too?

Hehe..the Lumina used to be mine. When I got the I35 right before graduation the Lumina became my sisters, along with everything in it

As far as it being on Potenzas...LOL...you may be shocked, but "I wish." It has the cheapest Costco tires money can buy on it. I'm pretty sure it was a direct result of me wearing out 2 sets of Goodyear Eagle RS-A's in under 40k miles...

I've learned now..

Hehe...we like Nissans/Infinitis. My dad got his I35 before I did. He's fine with having the same car because his is still better

, his has the navigation and heated seats/mirror/steering wheel where mine doesn't, but other than that they're identical (save for the extras I've added).

My mom's got a 2K pathfinder LE, and I think we're eyeing an Altima, G35, or QX4 for my sister...that is if she doesn't get the Mini Cooper or VW beetle she wants

But man, an M3...that's nice..

You think your parent would adopt me.

Don't even think about it! I'm trying hard to make sure they don't forget about me while I'm at school!

The G35 coupe is awesome. My sis would probably be getting the sedan though. I need to go by and drive a coupe sometime. I've only driven sedans so far. My only gripe is there isn't as much space inside (at least it doesn't feel like it).

You have a point. I have gotten so used to all the room in my I30. I took my girl friend's, cousin's 300ZX(non-TT) for a spin. I felt closterphobic(sp?). I could not stand the being all cramped like that. I may have a hard time going with the coupe.

Actually I have not sat in either car so I don't know how much difference there is in cabin space between the coupe and sedan. Anyone sat in both?
