My -8: Silver with Nav - No spoiler (vs G35 Sedan)

Figured I'd make the title easy in case someone wanted to see what it looks like.
I took a few pics of my friend's Infiniti G35 Sedan, too.

like my grandma, a prior college art teacher, said 'your car was designed by true artists who followed the golden section like true painters'

to clarify...this also refers to the 'divine proportion' I'll be writing about this in detail later on as I want to contact the designers of our 8

this explains it a bit:

Boy, you guys are nit-picky.
I fixed the floor mat, even though it fits both ways just fine. Now the RX-8 is facing the outside of the car on both sides.

And, remember....the G-35 is the sedan model, not the coupe. It has an extremely leggy back seat. It also has quite a bit of get-up-and-go, especially for an automatic. Very nice car.

True, the G-35 is a nice car... Just today I was behind one in a turn to get onto the hwy and I was thinking "he is too hot for the turn" but he did not have to drop the speed too much to get thru it, just a little less than me... but he had a great acceleration out of the curve :o) Except he went on the wrong side of the stuck traffic while I took the left side and lost him somewhere in that crowd... Nevertheless, a nice fast sedan - and a daring driver, for sure.
