Erin Lindberg: A Journey into Automotive Passion
Meet Erin Lindberg, a name synonymous with automotive passion and creativity. She's not just the owner of the first (and currently the only) Pandem Q60 in the United States; she's also a co-owner of the car culture lifestyle brand, SCG (socalg.org). But Erin's story goes far beyond her unique Q60 build; it's a story of resilience, creative obsessions, and a profound love for cars.
The Adrenaline Junkie's Beginnings
Erin's journey into the world of cars began with her father, who nurtured her love for speed and precision. Growing up in a small town, Erin's dad introduced her to the art of heel-toe driving on winding mountain roads using a 2007 Infiniti G35—a car she still drives daily. He even encouraged her to attend the Bob Bondurant Racing School, where she earned her SCCA license, a testament to her early passion for motorsports.
However, tragedy struck when her father was severely burned in an auto-related accident and passed away. This loss led Erin to take a break from all things car-related. It wasn't until she met her boyfriend, Scott, who reignited her passion and introduced her to the car show scene, that she found her way back to her automotive roots. Scott became her biggest supporter, and together, they embarked on an incredible journey.

Choosing the Perfect Car
Selecting the right canvas for her automotive vision was no easy task. Erin considered various options, including old-school JDM classics like the S15 or Skyline. But all it took was one drive in the Q60, and she knew this was the car she had been searching for. The Pandem Q60 Redsport offered a bigger, meaner, faster, and more luxurious version of her beloved G35, making it the perfect choice.
Owning the Dream
Owning the Pandem Q60 Redsport has been a dream come true for Erin. It has not only taught her valuable lessons but also opened doors to incredible opportunities and introduced her to amazing friends. Whether it's running errands or conquering the canyons, the Q60 is always ready and capable.
What makes Erin's car unique is that it's the first (and only) Pandem Q60 Redsport in the US. She believes that the Q60 platform, as a whole, is underrated and deserves more recognition. It's also the first (and only) Infiniti to receive a collectable enamel pin crafted by Leen Customs.

A Labor of Love
Erin and Scott took on the challenge of building the Q60 themselves. They purchased the car in barely-drivable condition, with the Pandem kit in pieces. Some parts were even broken, but this presented an opportunity to learn fiberglass work. They enlisted the help of friends at ACG Motorsports to ensure the engine and electronics were in top shape. Then, they painstakingly disassembled the entire car and rebuilt it from the ground up. From fiberglass to wrap to carbon fiber, they've poured their blood, sweat, and tears into this build.
Future Plans and Advice
Erin's journey with the Q60 is far from over. Her plans include an E85 flex fuel conversion, new power upgrades to reach the 600hp mark, a wrap refresh, interior/trunk enhancements, and an engine bay makeover.
Her advice to aspiring car enthusiasts is clear: choose the right platform as your foundation—it's the key to success.
Shout Outs and the Love for Cars
Erin gives credit to her supporters, including @opeliteoptics for the Starlight Headliner, @stillen for the exhaust, @adamspolishes_anaheim for detailing supplies, and @iceboxxcustoms for suspension modifications. For Erin, cars are more than just vehicles; they're her creative outlet and stress relief. She's learned countless skills through working on cars, and nothing clears her mind like going for a drive.
Dream Car and Beyond
The Pandem Q60 Redsport is Erin's dream car, but she's not stopping there. Her next build might just be a bike, showcasing her continuous quest for automotive adventures and creativity.
Erin Lindberg's journey is a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and resilience. Her Pandem Q60 Redsport stands as a unique masterpiece, reflecting her unwavering dedication to the world of cars.
