Just a quick note to all the folks in the 4th Gen forum that I have officially handed off my 1996 Maxima SE a few months ago to my niece. She's a great gal and really needed a reliable ride, and I was ready for a change. I had no problems passing along my 14 year old car with over 150,000 miles on the clock to a young girl and telling her that it was the most reliable car she could wish for. I had owned it since July 17, 1996 and enjoyed every minute of it.

I want to extend a heart felt "Thank You" to all the members of this form and the moderators who do such a great job. You guys are what it's all about and have made owing such an awesome machine a great thrill. I've replaced it with a BMW M5 to satisfy my rear wheel drive itch. I have to say, though, that spending a lot of time on the BMW forums, maxima.org is MUCH better. The members here are more respectful and much more helpful. The BMW sites seem to have a lot of folks who just talk about their cars, but don't actually do anything...or frankly, know how to work on them.

So, again, thank you all for making this a great site. The M5 is a great ride, but it's not built to make it to 150,000 miles. I'm sure I'll be back in a Maxima in a few years & will begin scanning this forum for more great advice.

Sincerely,

Ron

 

Best of luck fellow orger...and the same thing that we tell everyone going, "You will be back! Count on it"

 

Nice! Before you go, can you post a pic of your new toy? I love m5's

 

I was thinking about an M5 in the future. Is it seriously that bad? What kind of problems do they have? ITB's

 

Now, tell her to make a new username here

 

yes, picks of teh niece driving or your using for weekend toy....

 

E39 or E60?

Either way nice upgrade!

 

We will all miss you!

 

I like the fact that you ackowledge that you'll be back! It points back to my Poll/Thread created last year which shows nurmbers that ex Maxi owner ALWAYS come back
