maybe because you have a VG engine(125mph speedo) and not a VE(145mph speedo)......

You might be a Maxima driver if ...

you can point out another Maxima from a mile away in a parking lot with a 1000 cars in it. Before I got my Maxima, I never noticed how many Maximas there are in the vegas area. Now, that I have one, I see them all over the place.

Im with you on that, I can spot any generation maxima or a cop car when its still a dot on the horizon.

you constantly press your throttle, just to hear your intake make that sucking noise.

you can't stop fixing and modding your car. If you hear a noise, you freak out. If you see a scratch on your oil cap...it has to be replaced. If you are bored, you will do a brake job.

when doing something you can tell when a maxima is being started in a parking lot or driveway without even looking. Or you can tell the exhaust sound as it goes by.

I am very good at this one. one time i was laying down in my apartment and a car outside started up and reved his engine andi told my girlfriend it was a 3rd gen maxima and she laughed and then looked. guess what it was my car geting stolen! LOL j/k it was someone visiting the building and i was right, a 92 se.

you can tell your friends which year/trim/tranny/engine a max has just by looking at the grille and rims and watching the car start moving(only needed for 89-94 SE). then its even more amazing when you can pick out the SE posers (GXE w/spoiler...3rd gen only).

Gotta Agree. Can spot max's/Crown Vics (usually cops) far away, tell a maxima by hearing it start (3rd and 4th gen), tell trim and year (89-91 / 92-94) with a few glances, me and some other passengers yell "Maxima!" when another is spotted (rarely in this area).

When you train your friends to refer to maximas by their generations. "there goes a 3rd gen!"

I have actually done that! i'm teaching my friends that maxima's are good... honda's bad!

You know you're a maxima driver if...
someone asks you if you have a ride home and instead of just saying "yes" you say "yea i got my <u><b>Maxima</b></u> outside!"

park right next to another maxima in a parking lot. Thinking yours is better because it has mods , SE and theirs not. What a great feeling.

Re: You Might be a Maxima Driver if...

you've ever asked yourself if your car is the only import on earth that no one makes a decent looking body kit for...

you think the rear of your car is more attractive than the front....

you bought your car thinking there would be tons of aftermarket support...
