They’re giving away G37s on lease right now because of the new Q50 and they will keep making the G37 till 2015.

Should of considered IS350, Dont know why but I just love driving those cars. I would imagine they are in the same ballpark price wise and probably a little more reliable.

I’m pretty sure the difference in reliability between the two is negligible

Heated seats, heated mirrors, backup camera, blue tooth, sun roof, HIDs

When I compared this against a WRX you get a shit ton more features for about the same price when comparing used ones.

as it is scary to me, someone who has watched many close friends and family members leave this world, how fragile life is and how “retirement” is not a certainty for anyone, we are only given today, make the best of it

My comment wasn’t entirely around retirement either…

I know enough people who bought cars they could afford when they lived at home or an apartment who had to sell them for marriage, buying a house, getting a real job, etc.

Personally im waiting for my wife to finish school before purchasing anything really expensive I like the flexibility of being able to travel, buy nice things and not be tied to a huge car payment.

Taking financial advice from most people on this forum is hilarious

hell yeah  
when you look at the big picture, risk of disease, accidental death, financial collapse of the United States, civil war/unrest then yeah you better off enjoying yourself, this is of course when your family is taken care of and you have an educational fund for your children

it wasn’t directed at you, I meant people in general like my co-worker who is 360 pounds, smokes like a chimney and has health problems.  
He can’t pull the trigger on a “toy” right now because he figures he has the next 60yrs to do it, besides your already a street racing legend : P

Right, and I know a few folks that didn’t bother planning at all, and can’t retire. It works both ways.

Like LZ said, people budget for all kinds of things. You can have plenty of fun without blowing your budget.

Not like we will have social security when we’re finally of age.

If you don’t let yourself go, (become out of shape/bad health due to not taking care of yourself). You can work til you die :). That’s my plan.

Yep.

I put a lot of miles on a G37x.

No major complaints but it had a tendency to make my ass go numb after more than 40 minutes of driving.  
Rode smooth and plenty of power - Interface on the GPS unit was a little confusing at times.

Worked at the local dealership 6-7 years ago drove G35s all the time no complaints tons of fun in the snow…If you’re leaving it stock there isn’t a much better value for the money.

Now that this is out of the way I can build something siqqqq 🙂

Thats what my brother traded his WRX in for, No one else could touch the price of what the G37 was offering on lease right now. :tup:
