New Y33 owner reppin' Detroit Metro.

My first REAL car was totaled two weeks ago. I had a 2003 Pontiac Vibe. I raced in quite a few Auto X events and had a lot of money into the suspension for that and also did a ton of work with regard to the audio system. Unfortunately, a girl was texting or talking on her phone at a light, turned left in front of me as I entered intersection and I hit her head on at 50+mph. She had same year Vibe as me too! no injuries but I was devastated.

Anyways, I found a '99 infiniti Q45 Touring for $6300. It is in amazing condition, needs to be clayed and waxed but I'm a detailer so no problem. It's silver and has 115,000 miles. I did a bit of research on them first and they seem to have few issues and the 4.1 liter appears to last for a long time. A friend suggested I take a look, as I have never even seen one of these in person before. I've always loved the VIP style of tuning so I decided to buy it. I absolutely love it so far. Can't wait to get exhaust, coil overs and rims :)

I will post pictures up soon as well as pics of my totalled baby and of course my Duc if you all are interested.

Haha yea, I've been busy I will get pics up asap : ) Thanks for the warm welcome.

I belong to a vibe forum and I loved going to all the meets and events. We all went to the dragons tail and all that fun stuff, so I am glad I found the same thing for my new Q! I haven't searched thru all the threads yet but are there any meets around the Detroit area at all?

I just might be the only person in here to think your title meant this.
