2004 infiniti g35x, but there is a story behind it...

i saved up for flight lessons and stuff when i was 18 instead of buying a car. well, after not going to ATP or ERAU, i saved myself money by going to the local FBO and flying there. i worked out some deals and saved a lot of money.. the money that i saved paid for my car essentially in full

.. all the more reason why i like the FBO approach instead of the ATP one

Your not weird......i feel the same way....cars and planes go hand in hand....i hope to get an NSX for the weekends and drive my CRX to work.....

UConn, how do you like the G35? I've been looking at them a bit. Do you have the 2 door or 4 door?
