Nice ride, Bro!
I like the looks of the G35 too.
Same car - subtle visual differences.

I guess, since they don't have to endure our Houston traffic, they do not see the merit of an automatic tranny. I do!

I love standards, but if you have to sit in the crap we sit in here in this congested city, an automatic makes life alot more bearable.

Most people from smaller cities, cannot fathom how horrible our traffic really is, but I am with you. I'd love a stick in my 240, but not if I am going to drive/live in this city...sorry! ya gotta go with whats practical for your lifestyle, especially if its your primary driver.

(Now if it was your playtoy/weekend car...there would be no excuse for an automatic.)

I grew up in Houston and I know the traffic well But I just would not buy that car if I had to purchase an automatic. That's all I was saying. I think I'm like that for two reasons:

A) The majority of my driving is done with an A/T truck, which I wish I could have gotten in a 5 speed manual.

B) I'm young. That's what my dad says to me anyway... we live in the mountains and I want him to get a little sports car for driving the mountains for enjoyment, but he refuses to get a 5 speed! He had them all the time when he was younger and now they just aggravate him He says I will be the same way...
