Anyone else got ADD when it comes to cars? I cant seem to focus my attention or energy on one car for any period of time longer than a few months, always want something else, something different. Hear about something cool, want it, lose interest in whatever I have. Anyone else have/had this problem?

luckily this problem hasnt infected the bike part of my brain, still get wood every time i get on my CBR (that could also be cuz the engine has a wonderful vibration at higher rpm )

nope.

I used to be like that with little hobbies and stuff (paintball, mountain biking, etc, etc, etcccc), but I guess I matured a little bit and finally found something that I can stay interested in. I <3 my 240!

I'm the same way, I've had TONS of different hobbies. However, I can stick with the car because driving is very important, and something that most people do often. I HATE when people cut me off, or when they dont want to let me onto the freeway, or when they slam on their brakes. Hence, this gives me an excellent reason to upgrade my car to handle the demands of driving with the jackasses that are out there :) Also, I've always enjoyed working with my hands on things, and so working on my relaxes me (usually) and is rewarding.

Yes...working on my car relaxes me to an extent. Its when random isht breaks for no apparent reason that I get annoyed.

I've had this problem with Infiniti I saw and read about the I35 wanted that car dreamed about it started saving and making plans. Then the G35 sedan hit the car shows and mags after looking at it wanted that. Then the coupe came out wanted that. Bought the sedan for practical reasons then the m45 came out, then the FX35,45, then the G35x, then second generation M45. I dream about driving or owning all of them. I'm an Infiniti nut.Kev... took me long enough but this is my 100 post for crying out loud!

OH MY GOD! I have the same problem!

I call it Jay Leno syndrome. I want to own every car but cant afford it, so I keep changing all the time.

Since 2000, I've owned:Nissan SentraMazda 929Mercedes-Benz 300EChevy NovaFord ExplorerMazda 626Mazda 929Honda AccordMazda MPVInfiniti Q45

Problem is now, nothing compares to the Q45. I've possibly reached a dead end.

Have you test driven a 2003 or 2004 M45? You may find an unexpected side road past the "dead end"! :D

Yeah, I drove an 03 M45. And HOLY CRAP could that thing boogie down. But I wont be able to afford one until I'm done with school and my ridiculous insurance rates (for my ridiculous driving record) start to fall.

Thats my post-undergrad lust object.

Yes, indeed!!! :D

Check out the following thread I started some time back ... in the Infiniti General forum. The M45 can beat Ferrari 308's! :D
