Last week a top ten douchebag cars list was posted. The G was #1. It got me thinking that the list depends on one's definition of a DB.

I've always considered a DB to be someone who buys a sports car (2 or 4 seater) and drives like an old lady to be the real DB. 3 Series people seem to be the worst IMO. Why buy the car only to drive as if you had a family sedan. Did they buy it because it was a 'beemer'? The whole point of a good car is to be driven. The G wants to be driven. I just don't understand the owner who has a good car and ignores its siren call

Any thoughts?

I bought mine as a retirement car. One of the selling points is that I figure a car that can go 155 should be able to last a long time at half that speed.

Problem is retirement has not really worked out all that well yet so I think I'll have to do it again about summer of 2013. At that time I should have enough for my Maserati, coupe or sedan, not sure yet.

I always thought I'd like to get a Russian ZIL when I retire in ten years. Ride in the back like Brezhnev

my driving style depends solely on my mood at the moment. most mornings, on my way to the office, I am somewhat lethargic, and really have very little desire to knife my way through traffic - unless a Metallica song comes on, then anything can happen.

other aspects that affect my driving style are when my son is in my car. I'm more likely to take it easier when he is the car vs. when I'm alone.

I choose this sedan b/c my heart and soul belong in a sports car, but the grown-up side and my brain told me to get a sedan. thus, the infiniti G sedan was the best fit (for the money).

I sort of like the idea of having a piece of Ferrari with my current selection.
