A Hunting We Will Go
The time has come to finally get rid of my wife's 6 year old car: her much-loved G35 sedan. It's been a good car and a pleasure to own — but she's ready to get into something bigger and less car-like. So, we're going to haul off to the Infiniti dealer this afternoon and check out the 2009 FX35s. These are crazy-cool looking vehicles, let me tell you. To me, they're totally girly looking — but they have an awesomely feline and mildly mean-looking profile. She may go color opposite and get the brown, since she's kind of tired of white. We'll see.
I'm also hoping to replace my Nissan Titan with a Land Rover LR3 in the coming months — a vehicle I've been wanting for quite a while. Since the Land Rover place is so close to Infiniti, we'll swing by there, too, so I can see how well I fit in the thing. Being 6'4" and 225 pounds, I'm pretty picky about the cabin in my vehicles — but according to the specs, it's almost the same size as my TItan.
I've always like Land Rovers because I'm a fan of the geometry of their design, but a lot of people think they look like a box on wheels. Of course, I'm the guy that would be driving a Willys Jeep if I could find on in working condition, so the "military" squareness is right up my alley. But, you never know what'll happen when I get to see one up close and personal.
The biggest downside is that I have to deal with car dealers in the Texas summer heat...

Well, we got the FX35 in the color and with the option she wanted—and we ought to have it next week.
I really, REALLY wanted to love the LR3—but it was just too small. Moving form the full-size Titan into a mid-size SUV was too much of a culture shock, as it were.
The FX35 is just a thing of beauty, and I may have to investigate the QX line—though that seems too big to me…

A coworker drives the Infinity. She loves it.
As a fairly big guy myself, I hated the Land Rover, mainly for its weird center of gravity (it rocked side-to-side too much).
