Finally introduce myself-WARNING long post

While my G37S is hibernating for the winter, I'm bored and missing it right now. I thought I would post a hello to all members and introduce myself as a newbie...sorta. And apologies, this post will be a little long

Before owning the G37S I had a 1999 Acura TL which I modded a few things before I had to put it out to pasture and shoot it this winter. It was becoming a money pit. Thanks to State Farm screwing me over with my policy and forcing me to park it and rust away.

Anyways, some pics of past cars I owned..

My 1996 Camaro



My 2000 Chrysler 300M sadly stolen not even a year of ownership


My stolen 300M replacement 1999 Acura TL

The mods started, skirt kit

Lowered, new rims, and one of a kind HID projectors for this model year

Then my homemade LED tails and turn signals

Changed all bulbs to LED and customized cluster from scratch to blue/white instead of the ugly yellow/green Acura had. Guess this is why I love the G37 Cluster


And finally comes to my 08 G37S picked up from a salvage yard. Was in an accident which the rear passenger quarter panel had to be replaced along with the door. It maybe damaged, but like a stray dog it needed a good home



T-Shirt says it all....

Safe and sound at home all clean, thanks again to JJsBusaRox for the nice rims


Zaino'ed and at the beach



My G doesn't like Frogs, I go change my oil for the first time and I find that my O2 sensor cable disconnected and a surprise stuck near my cat. converter

I have a feeling it hit my cable, snapped it off and then rebounded into the exhaust and got a little cooked. What are the chances?


To finish off this lengthy post, besides changing the rims and tires (sadly when the G was written off by the insurance company, the winter rims were still installed), I've already installed BB ground kit (Thanks TheIvoryG), Stillen Gen one CAI (Thanks Rossab).
Next step is possibly a new front bumper, and new exhaust for cure the marbles in the muffler.

+1 for saving a car. Looks amazing and it wasn't too long read. Welcome to the G club!

The G must be a natural progression for previous fbody owners (present company included) Congrats

Note, grammatically correct long reads are not a problem. Those written by 3rd graders lacking proper spelling, grammar and punctuation make one want to tear their hair out

I guess it must be. I was, however excited to buy a 5th gen Camaro, but I found the G37 more to my liking. It has everything I spent good money on to mod my TL to get where the G37 included already.

Actually the yard was in Vaughan, near my old stomping ground where I grew up. It was kinda fun test driving around the area to see what had changed, and of course to find whether I was gonna take the G home.

As for the froggy....it was his fault. I tried to drive over top of him (purposely avoiding my tires), but he decided to jump and hit me instead.

Some years back, almost ran this little guy over with the bike. Had to stop and take a pic before escorting him to the side of the road.
