Hey Fred! I know, I've been gone for a quite a while. Between two moves, a job change, and school in the evenings things have been a bit harried the last few months. I hate to admit it, but I also spent some time on a couple of Honda forums,(I know, I know, what was I thinking?), but I'm back to stay now.
Why am I selling the Q? Well, a few reasons really, but honestly the most important is I am going through a severe case of 5-speed withdrawl. While I adore my Q, it is the only car that I have ever owned with an automatic, as well as the only one nearly as heavy. I bought the Q for work, as I was l working 2 days a week in San Diego and 3 in LA, while living halfway in between and I needed a car that wouldn't kill me on the commutes. But now, I have a relatively uneventful 40 minute drive, so I don't really need it. Finally, I really want to get back to autocrossing and that's not gonna happen with the ol' big body.
Another Infiniti? Not right away, but I am keeping it in the family...S13 coupe. They are an excellent value, relatively bulletproof, and given all the people with SR20 fever here in SoCal, engines are practically free, so a high-mile example dosen't worry me too much. I have been itching for a projuect car for a while and just couldn't bring myself to modify the Q. So, for now, it's time for us to part. I will probably regret it later (I still pine for my SE-R on occasion) but it's more practical for me at this point.
Anyway, I'll be around more often now. Good to hear from ya.
