Motor Trend Review Article

Does anyone have the link to the original 1995 review for the Maxima for either Motor Trend or Car and Driver ( I cant remember), where they were able to pull a 6.5 in the car?

Boy is in absolutely insane shape, and works hard. Just needs to get under control a little bit and he will be a good back up point.

I don't think the spud dunk was as amazing as this little guy going through the legs TWICE AND bouncing off the backboard IN THE AIR. Bigger guys can't even do that. It might have taken him a while but he did it. I like seeing him in the contest, and its going to be exciting next year, hopefully iggy isn't greedy and competes next year too.

Well I think it was fair, and I'll defend it till I die since I my heart pumps orange and blue. But I can see the arguement. I will always defend one of my team's players.

Just passing time until we get the info.

97vq30de, yeah I did see that. Seems harder and harder to find stuff online now. Plus Motor Trend and Car and Driver sites suck when it comes to historical info and search.

Here is a good video of the N-Rob dunks. If you never saw the put back jam at NC state you'll be blown away. I cant belive he did that in game pulled it up from his waist.
