Blast from the past

Been several years since I've been on the org.

Yes, I'm the guy that had the modded 98 SE that was ripped off and then got a G35 Coupe which I proceeded to crash, taking the lives of two friends and landing me in prison for 5 years...

Just stopping in to say hello for old times sake....

Regardless of what has been involved in your personal life, I just wanted to say that your car was my inspiration to get a 4th gen. I saw it on cardomain when I was 14 and decided at that point that I was going to get one.

Glad to see you back on here.

I plan on leasing a 2012 black on black Maxima but will not be modding it, those days are behind me.

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.

Had it robbed at gunpoint. Many people thought it was an insurance job but I loved that car and took a major loss when it was stolen. I had nothing extra on it insured, lol.

Welcome back! Your car was litterally the best 4th gen for a long time running. While the stereo was never my thing, your chromed engine parts set off the car. Not just another lowered A32 with 19's. I remember when you got chewed out for getting the same wheels but one size bigger. I do remember you loosing your car, I was pretty shocked. Huge bummer. Then we hear about your accident. Crazy. You've been though some rough times. Glad to see you back and are doing well.

Things have changed here naturally. Lots of noobs and maintenance threads.
