Retired from daily driver - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bouncytruck · 02-10-2008, 02:24 PM

Today, my Blazer has been officially retired from daily driver status. I bought an Infiniti G35 Sedan. I was going to pick it up tonight, but when my wife brought my daughter home, she got sick so we couldn't leave the house. I'll go get it tomorrow and take some pics. It sure is quick with 306HP.

why?

bouncytruck · 02-10-2008, 02:34 PM

Several reasons. 1 - The Blazer doesn't fit in parking garages downtown and I often have to go visit clients. 2 - Clients and employees don't like riding in it in the winter because its cold. 3 - My company is leasing the car so it doesn't cost me anything and it won't be as much wear and tear on my truck. 4 - Now I can take on the some of the more serious projects on the truck and not have to worry about having it running on Monday morning.

2wd conversion?

The verdict is still out on that... On one hand, I'd love to have a bagged 2wd, on the other, I like my mostly stock 4wd.

That G35 is a very sweet car...... I'd take it

The G35 is sweet. We drove one before we bought the 350z. Did you get the sport suspension, 6 speed and awd? Looking forward to the pics!

If your company is leasing it get and be happy with it hell ya.

I just got the base model sedan with the premium package. I had to keep the payments under $400/mo including tax, etc. and I don't need Nav. It does have the 18" wheel package, which looks sweet. It's pretty agile without the sport suspension already.

Sounds like its time to start cutting.

I have a converted frame if interested. You could build the frame how you want and put the body on it later.
