Im gonna keep the max for sure. Its gonna share a garage (or driveway) with a 350z or G35 one day. Noo doubt. I just cant sell it...once i get out of college, i plan to do a whole bunch of mods to it. So definately, im gonna keep it for a loonng time.
Emma is going to run until there's nothing left of her. Body wise she's fine, engine and tranny wise she's still ok. Some front end work and she'll ride fine. Then when the engine and tranny go, time for the 4th gen hybrid
like it was said "till the wheels fall off" but then i could just get new ones
so its gonna have to be till its gets wrecked ( knock on wood ) or for some reason something else. but i plan on keeping my maxima for as long as possible, if thats 30 yrs down the road, so be it. i still owe the bank a few more payments, so when thats over-soon- im really gonna go to town. the 4th gen rocks, its the best maxima imo.
good thing i have a beater for winter tho, it helps out on 'keeping it clean'

By the way rmurdock, I changed that fuel filter once, and it wasn't any fun!!

Neither is filling the gas tank, but its advisable to do so - just like changing the fuel filter every 30K
.
F the 350z, I'm gonna find a blown Z32 TT, and grab a low mileage engine from a wholesaler in the next couple of years, so that when I get out of college, I will have a fast car that's already paid off.
My Max will stay with me at least til that time, barring an accident, etc. Within the next year, it will have a lowered suspension, and even sooner, full exhaust and tires.

I drove a 95 Chevy Lumina for 8 freaking years. I now have a 99 Maxima SEL w/38k.
Any questions?

haha, not exactly the future i've planned out for my max, but to each their own, i guess...?
i lost my max on 5/17/04...i remember her ever since like my first piece of a--!
Now, after a year of refusing to be seen in a beater car(yes i am infected with that damn brooklyn ego
) i finally found me a new chick,albeit another 4th gen, but i hear older chicks are in now

im gonna get flamed for this but at first i hated the max.. just cuz i was stingy and i didnt get the car i wanted.. but after awhile... especially this year.. i really started to like it.. and yea i think i'd definitely keep her til she dies..
I plan on keeping them forever, if the wheels fall off, then I will find out how that happened, fix it, put them back on and roll again. 
I have some guys on another board giving me some ****. They were saying, you will really look good in a lowered modified Maxima at age 50.

I traded in my 96 GXE Auto for a 2005 magnum SXT... great car but i missed the max sooo much i went and bought me a better one and gave the Magnum to the wife. (she will say she took it from me) so i found a 98 SE 5-speed, loaded and i am happy again... now to get all the bolt ons again
for vehicles i have i have the
2005 Magnum
98 SE maxima
94 s-10 Blazer
and an 83 Honda Magna V45
and out of all of them I like driving the Max... (magnum is a close 2nd...only if it was a stick would it be better!)

i am 21 years old and just got my max about 4 months ago. A couple mods deep so far and i caught the bug. I dont know whats up with this car because i have owned 7 others, but this one is a keeper! I hope to have it for a while it make it handel better and also look alittle more presentable. Im all about the clean look and keepin the car classy, but also with a little kick under the hood..
MAX FOR LIFE! lol
MAX FOR LIFE! lol

Yeah hopefully an AWD conversion (using the Murano drivetrain) will be possible and worth it someday. Just like the VQ35 swap or 00 VI was "not worth it" or possible just a few months ago. Mine just got VQ35'ed so it's gonna take a while to kill it. New paint job, suspension, got work to do, it'll just improve as time passes.
