I just bought myself a '98 nice Infiniti I30 to replace my Explorer as the winter / crummy weather beater.
Although i was dying to find a 5-speed, i had to settle for the auto.

My IS350 is my "other car." The Supra hardly gets driven at all.

Yes, but I don't have a GS. You can probably guess which one spends most of it's time in the garage.

I hear ya! While a great car, I sold the GS and got an SUV (Explorer) for practical stuff and a quiet ride, and also got a truly fun 2nd car, the new Mazda MX-5 (Miata) with 6 speed. My troubles seem to fade from my mind when driving the MX-5!

I have my 4runner. I drive it once in a while so that my IS350 feel fast and quiet.

LOL LOL.. I opted for the X3 for now since it is more practical, and holds its value more. The GTO is depreciating like a rock being tossed in the ocean.. They will be as dirt cheap like a Trans-Am Ws6 pretty soon, thus the move will be made to get one. 20k presently and falling
