maxi is rackin up the miles !!!!
tonight on our way back home from work we hit the half way mark: 50,000 miles !! one 5 and 4 zeroes rolled up on me. i remember the days it had 22k on it. man it feels like yesterday. I've put 28k on it in almost 3 years !!!! i feel like i drive too much.
this weekend hopefully i gotta take care of her a bit. oil change, bottle of fuel system cleaner, clean intake filter, clean TB. rotate and balance tires wash +wax and that should do it (if the boss gives me the day off 
) but she is still gettin older and older

Your maxima is a youngin compared to us 95'ers. 28k miles in 3 yrs is not bad at all. If you want to keep her mileage low, get a daily beater. On the other hand, my max is a daily beater and I'm looking for a new car now.

You treat your car well so I wouldn't really worry about the miles man, it is meant to be driven and shown off. I have a 99, same color and i just rolled over the 106,000 so don't feel bad. You wouldn't enjoy it if you weren't driving it.

For those keeping track, I now have 63,151 mostly highway miles on my 95SE, 5-speed, and still have the original spark plugs in it and it runs like a champ.

Daaaang!!! Wish my 95 has those miles. Did you buy your car used? Or was this car garaged for a very long time??

As I said the spark plugs are original as are all hoses and belts.

you think? I wasnt saying my VQ35 has that many miles. My chassis does. My VQ30 had 205,000 on it when i pulled it out. The VQ35 at the time the pic was taken had 22,000 miles on it.

Real cool! I wonder how mine rides compared to yours. I get some squeeks here and there when I hit bumps. The chasis isn't exactly quiet as if it were fairly new. I've replaced a lot of worn parts in this car. My next major one is suspension bushings and lca.

I still have the original front brake pads and only replaced the rears last April because the right rear caliper seized from lack of using the parking brake, lol!

MY god that's low, low, low mileage. 
i got 106k on my 95 and sweety that's low to me. Geeeze louise I wish I had only 50k on my max then maybe i wouldn't have tranny problems, brake issues, a suspension that's NYC shot and squeeling belts that i have to tighten every 6k! I thank the guys with 200k plus because they let me know there's still hope.

i cant believe you guys who complain about having less than 100k miles, let alone 50k. its still brand new, barely rolled off the factory line, you act like it has 200k. geez. this is a car, it was built with the intention to be driven, not sit in your garage and collect dust while you weep over how old it is getting. and on top of that, all the money some of you people throw into it while it sits and does nothing because you want it to be "mint", haha. i wouldnt even treat a porsche like that, its a driving machine and meant to be driven, and driven hard, thats why its called a sports car. and btw, there is a big differnce between driving a car hard and beating on it...

Yeah, I got mine August '05, with 150k on it, it's now at 161k. That's at a good 15k+/year, I'm probably going to put at least 20-25k/year on it. I plan on driving this car until it falls apart, I love it. In the meanwhile I'll probably get a 2dr RWD coupe of some sort, but I think the max will be my daily driver for a long long time.
