Message	I've seen quite a few of you own G35's as your daily drivers so I wanted to know what your perspectives were of the vehicle. A friend of mine is going to be selling his very soon and gave me a "friends and family discount" price and I've been deeply considering it. I was planning to buy a Maserati QuattroPorte by Christmas but this popped up, and waiting a year to buy the QP will greatly help me out with my downpayment for it. BUT, how is the car? I've done my test drives and it drives great, but there is a huge difference between test driving and daily driving. I'm not looking for a replacement for the Z, so performance isn't a huge deal as long as I can pass the Hyundai Pony doing 30 in a 50 zone with ease. I'm more concerned about ride quality, oem parts quality, and maintenance. It has 180,000 kms on it so it is fairly high. And for the record, I plan to keep it 100% stock. Maybe throw some new shoes on it, but that's all I'd ever want to do. It's not a Z32.
