Default New car after accident

Since the accident in June left my car with frame damage. It was time to say my goodbyes and trade it off 😥 never really had the chance to do mods.

Good ole' days:

Way different drive than the LS, it's a blast to drive but will miss Lexus ride quality and reliability. Just wanted to say goodbye to the community one of the best ones I've joined time to cross over to g37 forums. ✌

So tell us, what kind of retribution was exacted on your roommate's friend or whomever it was that so irresponsibly smashed your car?

That's the good part lol....Well, since they were both at fault. They coughed up 250 apiece for my deductible. They also have to pay for my G to get a full detail job once a month for the next two months. They owe me cold air intake very soon. Figured that's enough punishment for their dumb actions, wasn't to harsh

i own an 08 G37S, 6MT...indeed it is a nice car, albeit totally different than the LS....still very Japanese though. I"ve found it completely reliable and of course, lots of fun to drive. It has its fair share of quirks, like a balky shifter, different tire sizes front to back, etc. But is one sweet sounding engine above 4k rpm. Suggest you visit the myg37 forum for advice. As much as I like my G37, it is obvious to even a casual observer that the fit and finish and engineering aren't even in the same league as the LS. i'll certainly keep both cars as they each have their role

You are right toddmorr, beautiful car in & out, good sounding exhaust. Just Still doesn't compare to the mighty LS
Deff going to check out the g37 forums
Thanx jabberwock
