And.... Wow.

Sorry dude but I have to call you out on this one. That's a total d*ck move by you. What goes around comes back around I guess .

Let us know when you grow up.

I went to FSU as well and I DO NOT know how you can drive a G37 around that city and campus. I had a SRT-4 during my college rein at FSU and that car got dinged, smashed, scratched, and damaged throughout my tenure. From college dorm party parking, to the bumpy ridiculous roads, to the parking garages in Seminole Oaks (now called Green Studio or something) my car was always in potential danger. I tried parking far away or in isolated areas, yet it was still a target for damage. KUDOS to you for making it work, but from the parking on Tennessee St. to the garages, it's amazing you haven't been hit or dinged up already. I would NEVER drive a nice car around FSU.

That aside, if you have means to drive a decent car in college go right ahead. I wouldn't blame you, but I'd sit tight until you get that degree before buying the G...most kids have bangers around college for the exact reasons I mentioned above, but hey, to each their own.

Man I missed FSU...the girls, the games...ughh...but I digress.

Maybe he parked next to you cuz he figured you wouldn't hit his car and he wouldn't hit yours?

Ugh, fuggin kids.

That was real mature response on your part...so someone parked next to you but did nothing to your car and you hit theirs?
You are worse than the people you try to stay away from in parking lots.
Too bad that person could not find this out and press charges for intentionally causing damage to their.

My advice to the OP...get you an economical car while in school. It doesn't have to be a "beater"; just something less than a "nice" car.
Then get you a nicer car after you graduate...you'll feel better about it later...

I'd agree with a lot of the other posts. Driving a car like this around the campus is probably not a smart idea. It's gonna get dinged and possibly vandalized by someone. A struggling kid with a chip on his shoulder may key just because he doesn't have one.

Aside from that, there's nothing really "smart" about buying a luxury auto this early in the game. Your grandpa could invest that money for you and buy a brand new G37 when you graduate and have a lot more than 10g to put down on it.

good tires will run a pretty penny every 20-40K miles. Upkeep and servicing as well. Have you planned for this?

Are you going to be paying back college money in loans or is this already taken care of?

Where will you live? can you have the G AND get a little beater car or motorcycle for school?

I drove decent cars when I was in the late teens and early 20's, but I don't think I would have appreciated something as nice as a G37 or back then a Z28, or 280Z. I do think it would be hard to raise the bar if I had owned something that nice.

But... hey, we live in the "We want is now" generation. don't hesitate, choose your color and get to shifting. I wouldn't waste time with an automatic in this car. part of the fun of the car is the shifting for me.

Congrats either way you go.

I got my first car manual and nobody thought me how to drive. Don't regret it one bit. Also please DO NOT BUY an AUTO G!

Also I'm in school, having a g37s is no problem. I'm 21 and loving every single minute of the g. Regardless if I'm pulling into the parking lot of the school or cruising on the highway. Insurance wise, it only went up by 15$ a month from my jetta. You should be fine

CrazyBulgarian, which Jetta did you have? I had a VR6 Stick as the car before I got the G37. While it was no G37, it was a fun car to drive. I miss that car.

HAHA! oh FSU! Well I am very fortunate in the fact that I do not live on campus and have a pretty nice town house a few miles from campus where I have my own spot where my car is away from others... Then for school I am very lucky because my aunt is actually a bio professor and i get to park in the teacher parking lot lol, where I try my best to to park away from others, or at least by the nicer cars, where I know they look out for their cars as well. Roads in this town is another story... Reason why I'm iffy on lowering my car...

I'm a college student and I drive a '10 G37s, and trust me I wouldn't bring it to college if I were you. constant exposure to rain, snow, sun, and I gotten atleast 5-6 noticeable scratches in the course of 6 months. Doesn't matter if you are nice, Haters gonna hate.

GET IT the best car in your choice,,,i would keep my 08 6MT foreever if i could i LOVE it but im getting a GTR soon DO IIIITTTTTT

KennyG37S

get the 6MT... its not that hard to learn to be honest

as long as you can afford the gas/maintenance and all the associated costs without begging your grandpa, then i dont see why not...

otherwise get something cheaper, this car drinks premium gases like NOTHING...

This is...just wow. You are the people that we're discussing about in this topic. The guy probably noticed you had a nice car and wanted to park next to you so you can maybe appreciate his car when you come back from classes but instead you decided to be a spoiled brat and chose to hit his car for no reason. You're lucky no one saw you or you would be riding your bike to school.

Thank you all for the replies. I apparicieate each and every one of them. Im still making my decision as to what i want to get.
Does the g only get bad gas mileage if you floor it or in general? How much will i be spending on matinance
