Bad Habit
Bad Habit
Hello,Maybe it's just me. I have a habit of punching it when I am first at a stoplight. Almost always leaving others behind just barely even moving like a bunch of tractors plowing a field. Is there something wrong with me or is this expected out of G drivers. I'm not a big speeder and I don't mark the pavement. :icesangel I just like to get to 60 mph quickly. Brothers & sisters I'm just having way too much fun. Kev...:ylsuper
I have been known to gun it at the light every once in awhile. Especially when the weather is nice after it's been cold out. And after I watch Motor Week or some of those shows when they are always testing cars out on a track. Damn, I wish I had that job.
But, I have noticed that alot of other G drivers do that too. It's not just you.

Yep got the G bug. I keep telling my wife "got to keep those fuel injectors cleaned out" as our heads are pressed against the headrest. Every now and then my wife lets my mother-in-law drive my car & she gets the bug too. Mom, Pop, wife and me are in the car one day and she guns it. I would have to admit, it feels very strange reclined in the back seat with you mother-in-law driving your car like that. All four of us start laughing as she reaches the appropriate speed. She's one cool granny that would pass you instead of holding up the flow of traffic. When I ride with her in her car (Acura RL) she doesn't drive her car that way. I’m sure it just not the same. The only seat she feels comfortable in the G is the driver's seat. That's strange that's my favorite seat too.Kev…

I agree with you on this one. Especially driving in a place like Chicago, where there are stop signs every block, it's the only way to get to where you're going in a reasonable amount of time.I'm still breaking mine in, but the need to jump off the line is there every time I'm at a stop. How can you not want to do that with a car like this?

I have this "floor it from the light" bad habit in my M45 ... 
Just keep an eye for police at the same light behind you! One time, I shot out from a light and as I passed 40mph or so, saw one behind me (one car in between) and slowed down the launch just in time! Scared me silly for a little while. Whew!

I was driving in SC on vacation last summer and did it at a light there was a police officer that saw me in a parking light at a store. He quickly pulled out to see if I was going to keep accelerating above the posted speed. Nope saw him so I stayed within the limit no more than 5 over. I didn't see a single G35 on the whole trip. Does Myrtle Beach even have an Infiniti dealership?Kev...
I do this on occasion myself. I do get a kick out of people posting about bad gas mileage, short brake life, and short tire life though. Usually all of these things result from this aggressive driving. Not knocking it, I do it quite a bit.....but I am trying to refrain so that I don't have to replace any parts before their time is up.
