Since there is no Infiniti dealer within driving range, I take my car to the local Nissan dealer for service. Despite having traded off my 350Z nearly a year ago, I still get their “Nissan” mailings and the offer of a $19.95 oil change from them was irresistible, so down I went for a few […]
TrueDelta Nissan and Infiniti Reliability Results are in…
Nissans, Infinitis generally fare well in the latest results of TrueDelta’s Vehicle Reliability Survey Thanks to NICOClub’s help, TrueDelta is able to provide excellent coverage of Infiniti and Nissan models. So, when Greg (AZhitman) asked if I could write an article for the site, I instantly agreed. TrueDelta promptly updates these results four times a […]
Busted in Georgia
It’s about 1 AM, on a Sunday. I’d been on the road for nearly 5 hours. I was in central Georgia, just south of Macon, returning home after attending a friend’s wedding in Nashville and I was hungry so I got off the Interstate and pulled into a popular roadside restaurant. The menu featured an […]
The Worst Car You Ever Owned?
. . . I got hours ahead of me and hours I just keep burning away. . . The absurd cost of a tank of gas has put me off random drive-arounds, and except for a quick trip in the G to a reunion of friends in Daytona Beach (one of whom is now driving […]
A Supercar Buffet
They were clustered by the dozens in neat groups. The Audis were under the trees, the Rollers & Bentleys were by the tents, right next to the Aston-Martins; Ferraris (Oh, God, the FERRARIS !!!) were grouped along the fence and the Lambo’s were lined up with mathematical precision along the path. The Germans had their […]
Stories About Cars
Of all the possible things for me to focus on–women, or fine art, or making a buck; the whitewater wash of a river, skyscrapers, and possibly, Hillary as President of Us All, I tend to focus mostly on the automobile. It’s been a long and determined focus, too, one stretching back to my “learning the […]
Is The Infiniti G35 Coupe a Better Z?
I’ve had my ’05 G Coupe for about six months now. I traded an ’03 350Z for it, and I think that I have gained enough perspective into G ownership that I can have, and make, some valid comparisons with my Z. I drove the Z cross-country and up and down the Atlantic coast and […]
Why I Stopped Caring About the Price of Gas
Since the price of a tank of Premium has gotten so absurd, I have curtailed a lot of plans for memorable Road Trips and have opted to sit at home and guzzle Beck’s beneath my Tiki, enjoying the fine Florida weather. The G Coupe, itching for a ride, gathers dust in the garage, its slumber […]
Coming Back From Nashville
I’d had enough. A couple weeks ago I was bored silly from just sitting around watching cobwebs form on my Infiniti. My computer had gotten infected and had become useless, and I was re-reading books I read in college. The only thing on TV was the markets crashing, and I was REALLY bored with that. […]
One Year Anniversary
It’s been just a year since I cashed in my 350Z for a G coupe, a year since I abandoned the “350Z Forum” site and brought my allegiance and insight over to NICO, a year since my cute little granddaughter landed on the planet. A year ago, I was paying around $2.40.9 for the high […]
