To start things off here are some pics of my final days with Oreo! You've served me well and definitely miss that hybrid power while driving!

But I guess there comes a time where we need to move on! So in comes Lucy! The 2015 Infiniti Q50 in Venetian Ruby!

The name Lucy came from the name Lucifer or Devil because she is red and Hambreezy and Elara2427 were the demons who convinced me to make the trade! >:D>:D

I knew she was special because I tried to find the color and package I wanted and got nothing in Cali other than a Stone interior one! The closest I got with the package I wanted was at Sewell Infiniti at Houston, TX and I was supposed to get it till they called and said that it was their test drive vehicle! :crying:

We ended up getting one in Scottsdale, AZ instead that had the package I wanted plus a spoiler, nitorgen filled tires and tints included! Originally I didnt really want those extras but I am glad we ended up with this car! Special thank to Southbay Infiniti for their efforts! :)

Wanted to get ready for the Q50 Stillen meet but kinda had to rush!

So was only able to install my Stillen Cat Back Exhaust

Thanks man! It is quite noticeable! That initial kick that the hybrid gives isnt there! It doesnt really throw me back to my seat compared to the hybrid! :crying:

Full tank and only 257 miles till empty. :(
Haha! I know man! Good thing gas prices are lower lately! :crying:

When she gone be wet?!?!?>:D
I dont know man! Its mostly the owner and the on lookers thats been wet! :D

Thanks man! Ill have to reveal it when it gets here! ;) Maybe in a month! :D

Oreo will be missed! but Lucy will be 10x better!
Definitely will! Hehe! We'll see how everything turns out! I can forsee the build but not sure if it will translate as well as what I imagine it to be! :eek:

The info came from a friend that works at an infiniti dealer! Over time it wont be as much I think but i still want the trunk space and to not think about replacing the battery at some point! :eek:
 
#23 ·
I hope so too! :)

But even the honda batteries are about 2-3k to replace no?
 
#28 ·
Looking forward to the build!

And 10k sounds right for a replacement battery with installation. The Nissan Leaf replacement cost $5500, after 1000 credit for turning in your old battery. So the extra $3500 sounds reasonable since you own a Infiniti, not a Nissan.
