The new ride
Picked it up for a great price after work on Thursday. With the new '09s coming out you've got a lot of leverage when snagging an '08. Will be putting up the Max for sale soon if anyone is interested.
The rundown:
2008 G37 Coupe
Obsidian Black/Graphite
Sports Package
Premium Package
Illuminated sills, mats, wheel locks, splash guards
Loving every second of driving it and can't wait to get through the break-in period. I also don't worry about parking it on the street near my house like I would have if I bought a 335i coupe. Hands down one of the best purchases I've ever made. Did a mini-photoshoot in the parking lot of where I work (and yes that is a big carton of eggs from costco), enjoy!

Actually yea, I'll either be selling the max as a whole or parting it out. Where are you located? First dibs will probably go to people in the SF Bay Area if they can pick stuff up. Items of interest are the Y-pipe, progress rear sway bar, eclipse deck, rainbow components, US amps amp, clear corners, tranny cooler and red/clear tails (although I can't guarantee I could remove those without cracking them).

Redwood City love!
In all honesty, if I had known how cheap it was to insure both the Max and the G compared to just the G I would have got the 6MT and just driven the Max when I go to SF until I had stick completely mastered. Hindsight's 20/20 though and I still love it how it is =) 700 break-in miles to go, need to do a road trip this weekend...
I am going to get it tinted this weekend though, coming from the Max I practically feel naked. Also probably going to get a rear spoiler sooner or later, does anyone else think that the chrome lip on the back looks rather idiotic?
