I remember a guy in a Miata EXACTLY like that, but with roll bar and turbo. I was rolling next to him in my Turbo SVt and we were talking to each other through the windows while driving. We both showed off to each other, but he was more impressed with my trusty steed than his! 
He was an older guy, like 50's, and asked me if I wanted to buy it.
This was like 1.5 years ago.

A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

i am most surprised about the dealership experience too. ours is excellent.
sorry for the hardship. Jeeps are good cars, just make sure the hood is latched tight before going on the highway!

I'm sorry you had to get rid of such an amazing car. A close friend of mine has a G35 and it has been nothing but perect harmonious driving since they purchased it over a year ago. It sounds like you just had a really bad dealership. Sorry again

yeah - my dealership is horrific and is the primary reason i'm ditching the car. i could deal w/ the car's problems a whole lot more comfortably if i had a good dealership - but i won't buy another car that has to be serviced or have warranty work done at that dealership. ever.
it's a shame, but oh well....it'll all work out in the end.

LMAO.
blake, I honestly feel bad for you, because you could have bought another house by now with the money you'd have saved if you kept the SVT.  That make you feel any better? 
Having said that, I would be all over the new Miata like white on rice. Me lubs that car.
The current Mazdaspeed one ain't shabby either. People have been getting insane deals for the MSs. Think under $21k.

I've heard of deals as low as $17K. My local dealer is knocking $7,500 right off the top (~$19K), without even worrying about haggling.

yeah, i won't say won't ever buy another nissan/infiniti product because i do honestly think i just got a bad one, but that doesn't excuse the dealership experience - so if an infiniti is ever in my future again it'll be when it can be serviced at a different dealership. right now, the 2nd-closest one is 90 minutes away, and given the problems i had w/ mine - i need one closer than that! 
oh come on man, its gonna be worth it and you know it. My friends G35c is awesome and he would not trade it for the world
