Damn talk about throw back. As others have mentioned you were my inspiration for getting my max. The days before I bought my max I went on cardomain and saw your max and fell in love. I even sent you a few noob questions about mods lol. Welcome back and good luck on getting the 7th gen.

Doesn't matter, his time is done. He was a mature adult about it and owned up to his actions, which many nowadays don't do. I commend you for that sir.

Just stopping in to say hello for old times sake....
Whats up tony? glad to see you back on the org. it feels like yesterday when we witnessed all the events unfold in your life. we all make mistakes in our lives, unfortunately some just end up more tragic than others. dont pay much attention to the haters, they did the same when sadlers car was destroyed. most of the oldskool people have moved on and only a handful of us still post. I was away for a while too and had to re-register, so you wouldnt remember me by this SN. as for the 2012 maxima, i say pass. i assure you its not your type of car and better things can be had for the same price range

as plenty have, and still do mention, your 98 was an inspiration for many, including for myself.

Pleading guilty saved me over 5 years of prison time. I did 5, but would have done 10 if convicted at trial. And I definitely would have been convicted

Thank you friend. Kind words.

My fiancee really loves the new Maximas (I think they look great too). I'm not concerned much with performance, just how a car looks. She also loves 3-series BMW's. I'd love to get a 335i coupe or sedan, but they are super pricey.

Over $20k

I was making a lot of money and enjoyed working on the car. It became quite a hobby for me, and I think I took it too far, lol. I was bummed that I never got a chance to install the Stillen V2 SC kit that was sitting at home ready to be installed when the car was stolen. That would have been fun

Thanks. It was tough, but I put myself in that situation, so I had to man up

Work was no problem. Landed a great job a month after being home and things are great at the office.

I was reading through some old posts from around the time I had my Max ripped off....can't believe the hating that took place.
Yeah, I remember. So easy to be a tough guy on the internet. Best wishes for the future.

it seemed like the 4th generation took a luxury car twist while the 3rd generation had more of the sports car persona.

Glad to hear everything is good Araf. Safe to say that your car was an inspiration for many of us OG's here.

LOL

I'd rather not buy a 13 year old car. I look through the 4th Gen forum and almost every thread is about maintenance/repairs....

I'd be more inclined to get a 2003 5th Gen...I love them in white

I looked at an 03 SE in December before I purchased my 06 2000-2003 was one of the best generations of the Maxima.
