Very nice indeed. 28K for an '09 is pretty low miles too. Did you get a good deal?
Looking forward to some updates on those michelin tires (they're on my list eventually).
Question about your tie down locations; Is securing the car by the wheels a safe way to do so? I've never towed a car before, but have towed the bike a few times. Usually secured by several hard parts. Was the car left in neutral with the e brake set?

There are no issues with strapping a car down in this fashion, but there are alot of opinions on this subject. IMO, it is best that the supsension is NOT loaded anyway. No, the car was in "Park" with the E-brake on. I have a drag car that I haul with this trailer and have not had issues. I have towed my race bikes in the past and and my Harley and have never had issues. I strap my bikes doen alot differently, however. The straps are Mac's Pro-Series and were a great investment. The straps for the wheels are 40" with a 36" sleeve of padding and microfiber sleeve.

Wish my G37S I picked up was in such great condition. Although mine had only 12K miles...the dude that had it prior had 10'' finger nails because every aluminum trim in the car was scratch to the T and the wheels were all curb rashed. Dealer eventually replaced everything to new minus the wheels.
GREAT FIND, especially in that condition!!

<------- Uh... Excuse me??? I'm looking right at Black Betty as I type and she's not amused. 
But seriously, congrats. I only clicked this thread because I was grossly misled by the title and wanted to see pics of the wife and "toy". Sadly, it was not what I was expecting.

Nice, but we opted for the stock 225/45 & 245/40 sizes in the PSS's. The little we drove it last night, it was like a whole different car than with the RE050A's.
