You could ask Circle Infiniti to remove that decal. I'm sure they be happy to oblige.
Purchased mine right down the road at Ray Catena Infiniti, in Edison. Excellent transaction.

Cool. Wish I had more than one dealership where I live. The next closest Infiniti shop is 70 miles away.
IDK about Ray Catena's pricing model overall, all I know is my 6MT had only 3900 miles on it when I bought it used, and the negotiated price was well under book. Somebody else paid the cost of initial depreciation, and then couldn't afford to keep it. I consider it my good fortune to be the right buyer for the right car at the opportune time.

Yes!
I did a one month test of 91 octane and a one month test of 93 octane a few years ago in my 06 G35
I got better MPG with regular 87 octane than using premium
I've never used premium in any vehicle that I've ever owned except for the test described above.
My 06 G35 was traded in with 171796 miles and used 7170 gallons of gas over almost 7 years and the engine still ran like new.
I know what my owners manual says and I know what is printed on the gas flap. It is BS in my opinion and not needed for those that commute to work.

Ratchet Shifter on this 7AT is about as lame as it can get. It takes FREAKING FOREVER for it to switch gears. Without a proper dual-clutch, I don't know why Nissan even bothered. Maybe flappy paddles are better, but I don't see how it could matter; it's still electronically controlled, and slow as molasses.
There's also programming that may incorporate this shifting style into the normal AUTO mode as well, but that part I'm not certain about.
In fact, I'm not 100% certain about either, as I've never personally looked into it, but I'd be completely shocked if this technology (OLD a$$ tech) wasn't included in this car. I'm surprised there's no SPORT/SOFT, etc mode.

Fair enough, Tuner. I'm no expert on the 7AT... just a couple different ones on two different days, leaving behind a very unsatisfactory experience.
Self-learning, eh? OK.

Checking in, in NJ for now, soon to relocate to DC/NoVA, picked up my car a few weeks ago, loving it so far! 
No mods yet, likely only stick to cosmetic stuff, I tend to overthink stuff FOREVER so wheels, suspension, exhaust prob won't happen for a while. Do need window tints, and maybe blacking out some trim, I'd like to go for the "OEM sport look" if that makes sense
