Well, family is growing so the tC is no more. Got a 2003 Black G35 sport sedan. It's really nice, and it has tons more power than my silver bullet ever thought about. However, I do miss my scion, maybe in the future I can get another one. I'll post pics soon.
G35 sounds like a great sleeper car-Great power, but blends in more than a 350Z would...Nice styling-looks lean and sharp...
I might get flamed for this, but last spring I traded my 05 SW TC, for a 2001 BMW 325XI, automatic, all wheel drive...It was a sweet car, silver w/ black leather, heated seats, xenon headlights...The only option it didn't have, was the 5-speed manual transmission...The auto-manual was kind of fun, but even with the power and handling, I still missed having a 5-speed.....The other thing was that the BMW had 52K miles, and the first oil change I got cost over $80, and I started to read in BMW forums about all the problems the E46 has had, including crappy window regulators failing, bad coils, electrical problems, and add to that my own experiece with VW repair issues, I decided to trade the BMW after about 2 months, for a 2006 FM TC...
At some point I might get another BMW, but it will be a manual, and probably a coupe instead of a 4-door...The reason I bought the 325 in the first place, was that I used to have a rare 85 735i with a manual trans, that was a great car, that I sadly killed by hitting a parked car while driving on icy roads..

You'll love the G35, though you got the sedan, which isn't as nice IMHO, the whole feel of the car is great! I bet it wasn't that expensive either, first year they were out, its a sedan. With an average of 12k miles a year it might have 36k miles, i bet it was around $23,000....no?
