Got my First Car Today!

Just wanted to share this very happy moment with the Teamspeed community. Today my dad and I went to our local Infiniti dealership, and wound up buying a new black on black G37S 6speed. I don't get my license for another 2 months but I need to learn how to drive a 6speed so we figured this would be more then enough time to learn. They are tinting it and putting on the factory rear spoiler which is the only option the car didn't have that I wanted. I'm not really concerned with engine work, but I'd like to tint the taillights and paint the front grill black. Im pretty stoked right now.
(The kid with the red shorts is not me)



This pic is messed up not sure why.

In the first pic, that guy in the blue shirt is checking out your ass. I'd steer clear of him in the locker room.

Nice car!

Sweet car man... My first car was my mom's '96 crown victoria. Had a lot of fun in that car, ended up blowing the intake manifold up once... Can't imagine starting out with a nice car like the G37s.

If you get the urge to drive the hell out of it, take it autocrossing. You'll find its limits (and yours) at relatively low speeds and a pretty safe environment.

Congrats on your new ride! Sweet...
