What's your favorite moment with your a32?

Or, what do you like the most about your 4th gen MAX?

I like the fact that on a stop light, I give some slack to the other car that wants to gimme "a run for my money" (Other funny fact within this same fact is that people know Maximas are fast and they feel intimidated).

I leave they get a head start, as before it turns green, they slowly creep forward trying to get an "advantage"...Suddenly, green is on, I launch trying to avoid wheel spin, and since I launch at 2.5 K, there's not much noise so without drama my 14 yr old max JUST LEAPS AHEAD, by the time they react, I'm in second gear and looking at them thru my rear mirror.

I love doing that to ricer HONDAS, BIG BUTT PICKUP TRUCKS, basically, whatever car that wants to have a "race"and sometimes, I can even scare BIKES as they assume no car can keep up with them, and they glance to my lane and I can notice they go : WTF?, then they accelerate and leave me behind...But not by much

That´s what I´m talking about!

I also love that even when old, a decent 4th gen looks ssccchhweeeeeet!

The only thing I would change are the tail lights, I found myself thinking how a good 5th gen SE rear woud look on a 4th gen...But that´s another story

BTW, I only ¨race¨until I reach the speed limit, no more than that...Only on a straight, I don´t do any burnout or anything, I just like to surge forward dramaless, leaving the rest behind...I´m in Mexico, the speeding ticket is about 80 bucks...Or so they told me wink wink.

+1 sounds like that to me too. but thats what happens when the maximas are so cheap. anyone can buy them now at days.

i just love my a32. i just do. the torque. leaving it in 5th gear. slowing down from 50 mph to a read light to about 20 mph and can just leave it in 5th gear. give it gas and its fine accelerating.

If you are the guy racing from every red light I have to agree. Gives modified car owners a bad rap. I must admit though, at least where I am, it seems like pick-up trucks like to pick on me, I guess assuming Im some punk kid. Ride my azz and such. What I do is when we are going up a hill I break a bit so he has to slow down thus dropping his RPMS which makes almost every V8 bog down when they try and get back on it. Not me and I do that until they dont ride so close. Safer than break checking and better IMO

1st Favorite Moment - The day I drove it out of the dealership
2nd Favorite Moment - The day I wrote the last payment check
3rd Favorite Moment - Will be the day I sell it and get a descent price for a car with over 200K miles on it.

also i find that anyone who has a modified car or truck around here, every time were stopped at a red light they wanna make it a **** measuring contest when it turns green. and all i do most of the time is accelerate normally cuz im tryin to save gas, and they flash deuces like they just whooped on me or somethin.

I never let him pass me.
