I'm not sure if I would give your friend a high-five, or shake my finger at him.

on the other hand my girl also recently leased the g35 (I guess they are just extremely popular around here...) and already has 8k!!! Miles on it and the engine still works... to me it is at least somewhat proof that treating the car correctly is also a dominant factor in it's reliability...
