Default New Car!

Just got home with my new car.
I still can't believe what I did. My plan was to sell my SC300 then use the cash as a down payment for the G35 I have that is done with the lease. Then I decided to go with the new G37 coupe instead of buying a car that the style has changed when I could get the new style for the same monthly payment.
Then I saw the advertisement of a sale at JMLexus. I took the SC300 hoping to get a good trade since last year they gave me a good trade using KBB. Now they're telling me they no longer use KBB and I was eaten alive for the trade. I still went along with the deal and now I own two 3GS cars....this one an 07 silver GS350. I guess it's silver. It looks weird, kind of pearl. Sometimes looks white, sometimes silver wither metal flakes. I think they call it...I can't remember right now. I liked it at first but now I'm not so sure. It's a lease, I guess I can take it back tomorrow if I hate it. We'll see, I'll sleep on it. I should have gotten black. Nothing wrong with 2 black 3GS.

Anyway, here's a couple pics.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Thanks, everyone. Tanabe's will be ordered tomorrow. Not sure what wheels to get, thinking of chrome, black or color matched. I wish the Maya's from the SC could work but the front are 44 offset and I know that's too high. That's okay, I'll sell them and get something else. Sorta leaning toward chrome but color matched is interesting. What do you all think?

Need you ask!!
I'm trying not to drive the G35...I still can't believe I did this. Looked at the color this morning and from a distance it looks really sweet. By the third time I got in/out for errands, I hated it.

Back to which is more fun. This car definitely has some pick-up and it handles okay. The more immediate response and all out blast of power can't be duplicated with this big boat. What have I done. Driving my wife's car every now and then was okay but now I have to live with this thing every day. The G35 goes back 7/1.

The good part...this is a wonderful car. I am much more comfortable in it. Hate the color but I'll probably get used to it. I bought the platinumsc because it was a different color...didn't really like it. I grew to absolutely adore it. I'm hoping the same happens here. A drop and some wheels and taadaa...sweetness!

I have the same color combo and I love it. I don't know if the guy was blowing smoke, but he told me that they put this color on 3% of the cars.
Its fun parking next to a whit car because then you can really see the difference. I just think it has more depth than white.
Also, the interior with the dark wood looks great. I think it looks sportier than the regular wood.

Congrats!

Nice.

It's a little extreme to have two of the same car, but if you love it, you can't go wrong!
