Monthly Poll-July, and caption contest winner

by **Poyzinous** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 1:18 am

We all love our G35, and Infiniti for that matter. So, if we had to wipe Infiniti off the automotive map, and with it gallons and gallons of merciless tears from our faces, Who would get our butt in their driver's seat? There are other 'fish in the sea'. Now granted, some of us are wetting ourselves just thinking about walking away from the car we love, but lets think about what we would go for if we had to give up our beloved and desired G's.
Click whichever option best suits you, and post your thoughts as far as your feelings go.

Congrats!

I came in 2nd. Yippee! I'll get y'all next time. I am the queen of puns.

by **zozoka1212** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 4:12 am

Congrats. Well deserved one I thought it was the funniest too.

Poll is a good one. 'd go for a 370Z. It is slick and fast enough. Maybe save up for a GT-R.

by **G_whizz** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 6:13 am

Congrats to all who entered. You are a funny bunch and I look forward to seeing what Gabe comes up with next!

Congrats To KMC for winning! The prize will

and be well worth the thought you put into it!

As for the poll..I would probably go back and buy my old 03 Maxima SE. I loved that car and would loved to have modded the hell out of it.

Runner up...I've ALWAYS had a soft spot for Audi's

Charmin...

V-Tec was the best entry... Congrats...

I would go with BMW or evn a Caddy...

Love the looks of the Maxima but I need to feel the car get up and go... CVT is def not for me.

by **08.black.G37** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:09 am

If I had to buy another car right now...it would be a tough choice. I really love this car. Some others I would consider:

Lexus IS convertible
370Z

If I really didn't care about quality or resale:

Pontiac G8
Hemi Challenger

by **smockers83** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 11:23 am

If I got rid of my G today, I would go back to a domestic car more than likely. Either a Caddy CTS or a Ford something or other. There are definitely days I wish I had a SUV or something of that nature.

If my bounds were unlimited, I would probably replace my G with a used SUV or diesel pickup. Oh, bounds were unlimited, sorry...an Aston Martin DB9 on top of that.

by **SVTCOBRA** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 12:55 am

Congrats all!!

If the G was not available, I would consider:

Modding another SVT Cobra
Z350 or Z370
G8 GT or GXP
M3
Suburu - have never driven one and have always wanted to check them out.
vette

I love test driving cars, so I'm sure I would check out some others, but above is what comes to mind quickly

by **Poyzinous** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 8:24 am

I'd go back to BMW...even though you have to fix them constantly.

I agree, the CVT tranny sucks.

by **Poyzinous** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 8:59 am

Maybe a Joke will bring some of you to life, and get kmckis1029 to claim his prize. I dont think 08.black.g37 would want to claim it by default.

A charity organization realized that all but one of their towns' highest class residents had donated to them. The most successful lawyer. The Manager of the charity called the lawyer to try and get him to donate. The conversation went as follows:
"Sir, our research shows us that although your yearly salary is just over a million dollars, you've never donated to our charity. Wouldn't you feel proud to give back to the town? "
The lawyer replies: "Tell me something, did your research show that my dying cancerous mother has medical bills that are triple her annual income?"
manager: "No sir, I was not aware..."
"Or that my brother is a blind, disabled war veteran who can't work because he is a paraplegic?"
"I'm sorr..."
"How about my sister? Her husband died in a tragic car accident, leaving her jobless with 3 children!"
feeling embarrassed, the manager tells him: "I had no idea, I'm not sure what to sa..."
"SO, what makes you think I'll give money to your charity? When I dont even give my family a penny?"

The Lexus convertible has nothing on the G. The technology specific to the Infiniti blows all the others in that market out of the water. The 370 is a great car but too small for a DD

Other than the Lex I have to agree with you one car selections. The Gate and Challenger/Charger/Magnum with either the 5.8? or 6.1 is a straight line monster. If I were single I would buy one and a bunch of cheap tires, but that would be just a toy. They are not reliable enough and their warranty sucks considering they are using European parts ($$$) with American build quality

At least the Gate is built by Holden but I think I would get a GTO, I always liked those.

If only Infiniti were to vanish

and no other companies I would consider an 09 Titan crew cab, you can pick one up for 15g off msrp. A used 08 QX56 would be a nice addition, well I don't know if the scenerio is supposed to be if Infiniti was gone would thepast models also be gone or could I still buy a left over?

If money were no option... Hands down McLauren SLR all day long.

by **Poyzinous** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 7:12 am

5.7 liter 'hemi'
*McLaren* not Lauren. I wonder if Holden is built better than GM? I kinda like the G8. SLP though. 500 supercharged HP FTW.

The Dodge cars are all boats. I'd like SOMETHING in the handling department. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRNW1ezITFY

by **SteveTheTech** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 7:11 am

lol Firefox auto spell check + beer = fail

I like whatever the bigger motor is. The SRT8

by **kmckis1029** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:33 am

Thanks for the votes

emailing you my address...

by **kmckis1029** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 12:36 pm

i would have a M3, G8, blue Charger srt8 super bee, or 2007 wrx STi limited if we staying in my price range....

if i could buy anything else... it would be a M5 Sedan or GTR

by **SteveTheTech** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 1:24 pm

kmckis1029 wrote:if i could buy anything else... it would be a M5 Sedan or GTR

That's modest. I would shoot for the stars.It's too bad the only thing Japan has to offer is the GT-R although a great car it's not completely practical.

One of my frequent customers came in recently with his new G8 loaded (msrp ~44k) he wouldn't admit to what he payed for it but there is no way that car will be worth anything near 30 in three years. The five year depreciation on that car should be on par for domestics although the used market for domestics is pretty much dead, and new models are a dime a dozen. However if you are like me and drive cars until they are no longer worth keeping one of these would be a decent second/family car. However they are just not really well built cars and have interesting quirks I would be a doughnut on the fact that 95+% of the readers of this would be <satisfied with the squeaks rattles and noises these things make. I know they drove me nuts on the few I have driven. At least that applies to the rash of used 300s, Chargers and that other one...the bigger one.

If I learned how to spell it and stop letting Google search finish it for me I know I will never learn but I really don't care...

You know exactly what I was talking about. Holden seems to be a little better than GM although their stuff is all European inspired and GM build so it is um.... something. I like the Aussie style personally. The GM would be the way to go for a cheap fast car, wow it looks so much worse on the screen.

by **kmckis1029** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 1:42 pm

modest... i want a car that can be driven everyday... not some super car that needs new oil every 1000 miles and that basicially ends up being a parking lot ornament...

even if i was super rich i wouldnt have a car in my driveway that couldnt serve as a daliy driver... no point in buying it if i cant enjoy it, thats how i see it... but yeah i guess people do collect cars... guess im not one of them...

by **kmckis1029** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 1:45 pm

ok lets guess what he is sending... here is the shipping label...

"Tracking Number:
Type: Package
Status: Billing Information Received
UPS has received the electronic transmission of shipment detail from the shipper and a label has been created for your shipment. Once UPS has possession of this shipment, the tracking status will be updated.

Shipped To: WARNER ROBINS, GA, US
Shipped/Billed On: 07/06/2009
Service: GROUND
Weight: 15.00 Lbs "

hmmm what is 15lbs?

I say its a 30k service package.

by **Sentientbydesign** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 2:45 pm

Small case of used motor oil? hehehe

by **Poyzinous** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:19 pm

Well with UPS, as long as the package is less than 30lbs it costs the same as a 1lb package to ship. So I could either have:
A) put your prize package and 6 sets of used brake pads
B) Put your prize package and 2 Bricks left over from the garden decoration bases my dad had left over.
C) Put your prize package and nothing else, BS-ing the weight measurement, as UPS doesn't take it as official, but instead weighs it themselves and keeps it for their records.
or D) Put your prize package, and one of my 3 10lb dumbells. (I only need 2 anyway)

Guess which one is correct! I know I said I wouldn't joke around, but since you mentioned it I had to. You'll find a few pretty useless items in your prize package... muah hahahahaha!!!!!

Steve- What? let me try...

Steve you know I'll always tease you. I'm like an unofficial Nico Spellchecker/grammatical criticist. Plus you know I'm kinda OCD and whatnot... I like

at the stuff here. I'm not here to insult anyone, just have fun. Maybe I'll take a doubleshot of my 100 proof Cuervo 1800. See how many errors I make...

by **SteveTheTech** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:30 pm

lol I was just messing with you. I really don't care too to much in general discussions.

I rely on spell check as a crutch.

The double 1800 huh, if chilled with a fresh lime that shot could be the beginning of a party.

by **kmckis1029** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:59 pm

i will take a pic when i recieve it lol

by **Poyzinous** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:15 am

I forgot to include the packing list with the contents... Just come back to this thread and post the contents of your package so everyone is motivated to participate. Unless they have no use for a pair of bricks...

by **SteveTheTech** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 2:18 pm

Crap I missed getting to add something to the box... damn. Next time I'll have to throw something in there.

Maybe I can get some Nico shwag for the box,

It's too bad that Sean can't win I've got a fossilized orange and some used shampoo bottles that have your name on it.

by **kmckis1029** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 5:32 pm

yeah it says ill get it on thurs... so two more days...

by **Poyzinous** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 8:31 am

Package delivered half an hour ago... better check it. And tell everyone what you won!

by **kmckis1029** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:24 am

yeah ill take pics as soon as i get off work and get home...

by **kmckis1029** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 11:39 am

I GOT IT

So it looks like you just went around the dealership and picked up the first couple things you saw... but i love every item you picked

i mean you even got tea from the waiting room... last time i was at the dealer i got some tea while i waited on my 30k service

UPS wasnt friendly to your package...

Whats up with the random paper towels?

But thanks man... great prize pack

Im about to change my in-cabin filter as soon as post this... and those two oil filters will save me money on my next two oil changes... oh and i have no idea what CF5

is, never used it before, but on my next oil change ill add it to the tank.

by **SteveTheTech** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 12:42 pm

The packet of tea is a PG version of what usually gets shipped out with things of the such. It's kind of funny if something gets shipped from our dealer just what is in the box.

That's a pretty decent setup there. The carbon filter and remote are great car guy things. Remote batteries, lol they are one of those things you forget about until you need it. Trim clips are the same way, I personally have a secret stash of them and they come in handy as they tend to break as they age and are exposed to engine temperatures.

Gabe- Where did you find paper towels? lol

Sweet!

Nice job Gabe!

All of those things will save someone a few bucks and come in handy!

Did the papertowels have skid marks??
