Yesterday, I did a bad thing. I wish I could take it back. If I could I would have not done it, at least not at this point in time. I went to my local Nissan dealer to find out about the price for my door lock timer ($89 :redbounce Thanks Matt93GXE for telling me how to fix it, it's done now).
At any rate, I go into the showroom and looked at the new cars. I get into an Altima. Nice, but feels like a small car. So what do I do, I ask one of the salesmen to show me the new Maxima. He quickly shows me the 2001 with the Meridian pkg. Man this fu**er has everything. Including cupholders! Even velvet padded change holders. After driving the sturdier, smoother 222hp behemoth, I wasn't impressed even as we slalomed around 25mph residential curves at 40mph+ in a $30,000 car with 50 miles on it. At the request of the salesman, I changed the trac/mode switch into "sport" mode and punched it to max out the rpm. He said he wanted me to feel how it shifted.:angel: As I'm quickly gaining on the gold colored Taurus, the rpm is now at 5000 and still climbing, snd it still hadn't shifted. I chickened out, expecting as long, or longer stopping distance than my 93GXE. He then informed me that the shift point is around 6500, which I could only confirm by the sound, cause my butt didn't feel a thing on the next run.
Like I said before, I wasn't all that impressed. Only after getting back into my car did I feel like the entire world was watching me as I left the lot. Sixty two horsepower lighter, and with a lot less refinement. Damn!!! I wanted to keep my car until 2006.:bawling: It's only got 201,000 miles on it.

ohhhh so that's how they break in those engines!! :D
