Default OT - New Daily Driver......:D

I finally closed the deal on my boss' 1994 Infiniti Q45.:D 84,000 miles, Black on black leather, 4.5L V8, 278 hp 294 ft/lb rear wheel drive:thumbs:



It is in GREAT shape overall and it is a big car that handles like a mid-sized sports sedan.

It feels good to go from a 1990 Wagoneer with 260K+ to a saloon with AC, 10pk CD, Bose, heated seats, power everything, TCS, memory seats, etc. Now I can let the wife drive the Millenia in peace and I have my own real car to drive.

He will be well aquainted with washing and waxing before long. :lol: (black paint :banghead:

Everytime the little one needs a diaper change, the car will be covered with dust.

But hey, :auto: blows the dust off!!!!

How's it going to do in the snow? Your old Wagoneer probably wasn't the sportiest ride on the road, but it probably handled the winter weather pretty well.

The traction control and active suspension should more than make up for a Jeep that didn't like to alternate between 4x4 and 2 wheel drive.

:crazy: :lol:
