Default Saying goodbye...sort of

Sorry guys but after test driving the Infiniti M45 Sport and seeing the lease deals that Infiniti is making on them, I couldn't resist. I was really interested in getting a loaded IS350 with the sports package but when I saw the money factors on the lease, the lack of availability of cars with ML, the low discounts, Lexus basically put itself out of considerations. I basically got a loaded M45 Sport for less than what it will cost to lease a loaded GS300 and about the same or a little more than it would cost to lease a loaded IS350. You'll still see me posting on here as Lexus will always be considered in the future.

By the way, does anybody know any good Infiniti forums? I found http://forums.nicoclub.com/ but I was wondering if there are others.

You're probably one of those guys who flames everyone on forums just because you have nothing better to do with your time and you would never have the ***** to say the same things directly to the person face to face. Plus if you did it in person, you'd look like a real a$$hole. It's really easy to be nasty and tough behind a keyboard and monitor.

Wasting time? Your saying "goodbye" to a bunch of people who don't know you.

Point taken but actually I have met several people on here in person at a couple of ClubLexus.com gatherings/meets in NY. Honestly I don't know why people have to be so harsh in forums.

Congragulations on your purchase. It is certainly a nice car...see my recent review of the M35X AWD.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=review+m35

But you don't have to leave CL just because you bought a car of a different make or no longer own a Lexus. You can join an Infiniti forum and still be a CL member. Heck.....Dave's girl friend ( the CL Administrator ) owns a Porsche 911. Incendiary owns a BMW. So does genearch.....one of the CL moderators. Plenty of CL people have other vehicles. I myself am a former Lexus owner who stayed on after getting a car of another make. And why did I stay on? Simply because CL's CAR CHAT is one of the best auto forums on the Internet.

So...back to your new car. If you don't know the proper break-in routine for it, PM me and I'll give it to you.

Sam, congrats on a fine new vehicle. Can we see a pic?

I saw a loaded M*35* in a parking lot the other day and that looked sweet also. Still not a fan of their two tier dash, but other than that, GREAT looking and performing car.

And to everyone else trying to stone him to death, get a life.

OK guys. Back on topic please. If you don't want to talk to Sam, you don't have to read his thread. Please do not continue this line of discussion. CL is a community. We do NOT turn on eachother just because our tastes in car does not continue line up.

I agree. This loser starts a thread saying goodbye to all the club lexus members, and I reply with a goodbye and he gets mad and starts to whine. Any admins out there, we need this to stop.

This just perpetuates the "ill-will"

Sam is a member in good standing for 4 years, while you have been here 1-2 months.
re-evaluate this word
