Good evening everyone
Good luck Kerry - I'm still waiting to here if I got my new job - the waiting is the worst cause I am so ready to get out of the crap job I'm working at now.

I'm waiting on some pizza to heat up right now. I'll leave for work in about 30-40 minutes. Window shopping right now, wishing I had about 30-40 grand haha. Something about the 03+ Infiniti G35 and G37 just really grabs my attention. I guess part of it is the fact they're RWD (sometimes AWD) with available standard shift (on the RWD models). And the G35 is a sedan to boot. When's the last time a domestic manufacturer offered a mid-sized sedan in RWD with an available manual transmission? I think the Caprices or Roadmasters had automatic only, so I'm guessing the last time a manual RWD midsize sedan was offered by GM or Ford was the 80s (not sure about Chrysler).

I bet the last offered domestic manual rwd sedans probably go back to early '70s. Mustangs and Camaros not being sedans.

I totally forgot about that one.
Cadillac has also, since they went away from being old man cars and competing with Mercedes and BMW.
Duh, I just saw Mike mentioned the Cadillac. But there haven't been any affordable RWD manuals built in a long time, affordable depending on your checking account.
