I would say **** you and walk if they expected me to sign paperwork before i drove the car. When i was g35 shopping, out of the 4 dearlerships i went to, 3 of them throw a few different sets of keys at me and told me to have fun. The forth dealership the sales person rode with me.

Agreed, and had the same experience with Infiniti. When the new M came out we already had the G and were thinking about upgrading. They let me take an M35 that they couldn't sell (baby-****-brown colored leather) home for a weekend just to see if they could tease us into buying it.

Try it with the Ferrari dealership then :P

I'd imagine that there's quite a different crowd wanting to 'joyride' an Evo against the Infinity, at least a lot less teenagers wanting to buy Infinities and still expecting to pay $199 a month.

Finally started to work on my car again.

Ready to DO WORK, hood off and lots of stuff to unscrew.



White Trash temporary parts storage area. I should water my lawn more!



Pretty much everything disconnected from the engine. Just need to unbolt the AC compressor and power steering pump. Unhook the T-Case and pull that thing out. Should have the motor out this weekend and start stripping it down to go to the machine shop.



I'll be interested to see the inside of the motor after 100K and see the stock clutch as well.

Here's my pile of parts. Whenever I think I'm just about there I realize I still need something. Like the ARP main bolts I remembered I still need to order today I'm piecing together the turbo kit myself and still need a waste gate, oil lines, and parts to fab an O2 housing. I'm also looking at doing a side-by-side radiator and vertical flow intercooler, all of which I'll fab myself with uber short IC piping.

I think I have enough stickers to cover a butt-rocker nova station wagon with a 454 in it
