2009 Infiniti FX50: Bond. James Bond.

There are some pretty late nights here at the office from time to time. I had a string of them in a row. To add on top a touch of the flu and I'm getting a little loopy by the end of the day.

I was pretty much out of it as I left last night. I was waiting at the stop light to exit the garage when I looked down on the passenger seat. I swear to god I started to hear the piano intro to "Diamonds Are Forever" as I looked over the stitch patterns of the seat. All I needed to complete the package was Shirley Bassey to start belting out notes right behind my head.

I need to get some sleep.

I like the quilted stitch pattern in these seets. I wish manufacturers offered more variety in their stitching and fabric rather than just plain gray, beige, and black. At least Infiniti makes it visually stimulating.

Going off of personal experience the more stitching there is the sooner its going to come undone.

If Bond ever start driving a crossover as his main vehicle then I will sell every Bond movie I have in protest.
