Is it just me, or are there a lot of really reckless G35/37 drivers?

I’ve noticed it to a point that just seeing one in moderate traffic puts me on guard in the same way that a 20 year old econobox or an any vintage Altima will.

Which is kind of weird, because I don’t necessarily associate 350/370s with bad drivers.

It wasn’t me.

Are you kidding me man? It’s almost exclusively driven by douchebros. Anytime I’m travelling the same direction as one, I keep a real safe distance. That and G35 coupe s specifically , not G35/ G 37 S edans so much as they’re generally less aggressive from what I’ve seen

It is not just you. The G35/G37 is stereotypically driven by people you don't want to associate with.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I very much have a stereotype that involves backwards baseball caps and vape pens when it comes to 350s, I just don’t immediately expect them to pass someone on the shoulder and then cut over three lanes like I do when I see a G coupe.

To be fair, it’s getting to the point that that includes everyone.

If you ever see one with Skyline GTR stickers on it, run it off the road and into a ditch for me.  Just because.

I’ve posted this before but:

G37 S coupe at my office. I left them a note in case they didn’t know. They started parking up against a fence on the side of the lot instead of in the middle so people would be less likely to notice their tires.

Yep. The other three weren’t really any better. I stopped seeing it in the lot, and I hope it was because the person got a new car or left as opposed to them putting it into a barrier somewhere.

My hierarchy goes something like this, descending order of staying the fuck away from them:

Taxis

Unmarked work vans

Car share cars (car2go, modo, evo)

$15/hr semi drivers hauling containers to/from the port

M arked contractor trucks/vans

Bro trucks

G35/37 coupes

Shitboxes only bought by people who don’t know other cars exist

Cars with a 90% chance or higher of having an 80+ year old driving.

I know there’s more, but that’s all I can think of at the moment.

I was going to mention Bro trucks in my original post. Jesus Christ, the number of douches in Rams whose day I’d like to ruin.

Dodge has a target market that they’ve pretty much nailed down, and all it took was aggro styling and Sam Elliot

Hmm. I see a lot of "cool step moms" driving 350s. Seem to be popular with middle-aged well-off women around here. I don't really get the bad driver vibe from these in the same way I do the Gs

My best friend bought one after his beautiful teal civic hatch was rear-ended.

He totaled it 20 days later trying to drift a rainy off-ramp at night, intoxicated.

That’s the most G35 sentence ever written.

My mom likes them. I don’t think she’ll get one because she doesn’t believe in 2-door cars, but they’re on her post-Camry consideration list.

If she gets a convertible that's kind of like having 3 doors

Never ever seen anyone buy young males driving 350s/370s in my area. The cool step moms all drive G37 Coupes instead. I have seen one in the gym and one in the office.
