I feel so bad sometimes. I look at my car and say it needs a lot of clean work. I mean the fact that its a older car and in great shape for the year it is.... But still I always find something wrong with it. I want it to be on the front cover of import tuner. So I can show the ricers what a real car is! And I see the cars in movies and in magazines and they are so clean. Why can't mine be that clean?! But Im trying to justify Real life vs. Hollywood, and I simply cannot do that... Do you guys feel discouraged sometimes???

I'm glad that a Maxima isn't in every import mag. I like the fact that most of the ricers I run into don't know the potential of the Maxima.
But at the same time, I feel what you feel. There's is always something that needs to be fixed or touched up or messed with on my car.

If you need time to save for rims, I don't know how much you'll be competing with the people who have time, $$$, and sponsorship.
Get some soap, a bucket, a mitt, and some wax. OK, maybe not as funny as intended to some, but...
How old are you? I'm sure you have plenty of time to build up that hollywood-ish show car of your dreams. Think of it as a goal that you'll work at achieving. Do you get discouraged at every long-term goal that you can't automatically achieve in the snap of your fingers?
I feel discouraged in general with cars sometimes, but not in the same way I don't think. Mainly in the generic 'love-hate relationship' kinda way

Atleast you have a Maxima at your age. I remember when I was your age driving a 20 yer old car
.Also what you don't see is that the people that own these cars are somewhere from 20-40 and either they get it for free or they make lots of $$$$.
Just be happy your sleeper can smoke all the ricers

my first car was a Tempo that stalled whenever it wanted that car smoked.. literally.. it was burning oil...... if you want a max for show start with the clears and red/white tails its the cheaper mod and does wonders on the look, then go with a drop, wheels, then the stillen kit.. in that order... if u have anything extra put it to the intake, exhaust, y-pipe
