This was my last car, an '08 SLK 280. It was a zippy little roadster, but left you wanting an AMG-55.

eww lol. not for me.
i can see how it's not for every one dro.. i'm usually not a big fan of cars from that era for the most part, duesenbergs and the like aren't really my cup of tea, but i think c/n hit it on the head, i dig that aero influenced design..

normally aspirated 8 banger in that rmp??
Normally aspirated 228HP V6. Hence the left you wanting more power comment. It was fun on long straight runs, tho. I got it over 150 in Arizona coming back from Las Vegas, but the wind was making it pretty sketchy. In good conditions with an AMG and no computer governor you could easily hit 200.

I always like showing off my baby... 6mt '06 G35 w/ premium package/nav, Alpine Type-R front stage and JL 10w3 (2 of them) sub stage. Has CAI and straight pipes... saving up for a plenum spacer. :)

Not a big BMW fan and would change some aesthetic things... but that car is pretty sexy.
haha same here! ive driven a decent amount of different BMWs and i like them for what they are but just something about the way they feel i dont like. and it took me awhile to get over their grill. the same grill thats on ALL of their cars lol reminds me of a pig nose or something. but i gotta say i believe this is probably a pretty bad ass piece of machinery right there

nice ride man.
saving up for a plenum spacer?? you should be saving up for a twin turbo kit! :p
Thanks! (but I'm not a man lol ;)) And yeah... a TT would be nice, but I really can't justify spending over 7 grand to make my car a little faster. G35's engines don't have a lot of potential... they come decently tuned stock and it's really expensive to modify and get decent gains. I did a lot of interior mods on it first... has 298hp bone stock, probably around 315hp with my mods and that's fine for me. I would love an STi though!! Now that.. I would put a lot of money into :)

Hell, if you want bitches in your car, get yourself a VW Transporter, duct tape and RUFIES - it'll save you about nine million DKK (considering the economy and all...)!

My 04 BMW when you turn on the AC emits a really bad smell .... Tried air fresheners and everything in the vent, but it still smells like shit, any help?

haha my bad just habit of saying "man" in a sentence :P
and shit that VQ35 engine in your g35 has TONS of potential. only so far on stock internals of coarse but i would say you could get at least 500hp out of it before you would have to worry about building the inside of it up. and you can find decent turbo kits for under 7k lol you dont need a brand name like HKS or anything. your mainly just paying for fancy parts and the name.
