Default Saying goodbye...sort of

Sorry guys but after test driving the Infiniti M45 Sport and seeing the lease deals that Infiniti is making on them, I couldn't resist. I was really interested in getting a loaded IS350 with the sports package but when I saw the money factors on the lease, the lack of availability of cars with ML, the low discounts, Lexus basically put itself out of considerations. I basically got a loaded M45 Sport for less than what it will cost to lease a loaded GS300 and about the same or a little more than it would cost to lease a loaded IS350. You'll still see me posting on here as Lexus will always be considered in the future.

By the way, does anybody know any good Infiniti forums? I found http://forums.nicoclub.com/ but I was wondering if there are others.

Plus if you did it in person, you'd look like a real a$$hole. It's really easy to be nasty and tough behind a keyboard and monitor.

Wasting time? Your saying "goodbye" to a bunch of people who don't know you.

Point taken but actually I have met several people on here in person at a couple of ClubLexus.com gatherings/meets in NY. Honestly I don't know why people have to be so harsh in forums.

Congragulations on your purchase. It is certainly a nice car...see my recent review of the M35X AWD.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=review+m35

But you don't have to leave CL just because you bought a car of a different make or no longer own a Lexus. You can join an Infiniti forum and still be a CL member. Heck.....Dave's girl friend ( the CL Administrator ) owns a Porsche 911. Incendiary owns a BMW. So does genearch.....one of the CL moderators. Plenty of CL people have other vehicles. I myself am a former Lexus owner who stayed on after getting a car of another make. And why did I stay on? Simply because CL's CAR CHAT is one of the best auto forums on the Internet.

So...back to your new car. If you don't know the proper break-in routine for it, PM me and I'll give it to you.

Sam, congrats on a fine new vehicle. Can we see a pic?

I saw a loaded M*35* in a parking lot the other day and that looked sweet also. Still not a fan of their two tier dash, but other than that, GREAT looking and performing car.

And to everyone else trying to stone him to death, get a life.

OK guys. Back on topic please. If you don't want to talk to Sam, you don't have to read his thread. Please do not continue this line of discussion. CL is a community. We do NOT turn on eachother just because our tastes in car does not continue line up.

I agree. This loser starts a thread saying goodbye to all the club lexus members, and I reply with a goodbye and he gets mad and starts to whine. Any admins out there, we need this to stop.

This just perpetuates the "ill-will"

Sam is a member in good standing for 4 years, while you have been here 1-2 months.
re-evaluate this word
