First the sort of bad news, It's my wife's car. The good news is she
says it "ours" but she will be the primary driver. I could not
pass up the deals they are giving for the 2003's.

I got it fully loaded minus heated seats/nav system.
It was a tough find because wife had 3 demands 6spd, sunroof, any color but the gold. She already wants a Y-pipe!

Just thought I would share and I now have a reason to post in the
5th gen forums!!


boo and steph


p.s. Once she feels comfortable with the car it's track time!
97 modded SE vs. stock 03 SE

 

congrats on the purchase.

I like your wife already, she likes to drive stick and she wants to start modding. You have the best wife

 

Ditto. Yea, that is one cool chick!

My g/f wouldn't know a Y-pipe if it hit her in the head!

 

so what color did she get

 

Glacier Pearl. She wanted silver originally but
she is now loving the white!

boo and steph

 

Congrats on the new ride that Glacier Pearl is an awesome color especially in the sun. When my wife and I were shopping for the Max last month we looked and looked and could not find a Glacier Pearl SE with equipment we wanted for hundreds of miles and almost settled for Sheer Silver. No contest the Glacier has to be one of the better colors on the 02/03 Max. My 350 is Pikes Peak which is the same as Glacier Pearl( someone says that is a nice color all of the time) and I love them both coming from a Black 97 SE and Black 01 SE.

 

Nice choice!

 

I am with you on that one. My wife only knows gas pedal and go! Occasionally, she puts gas in the car but I love her still. Shes about to get an Integra!

 

I just purchased a new '03 SE 6spd (Grey Lustre) myself, and I love it. And I agree with everyone else when they say that you've got one cool wifey there 'cause my girlfriend just got ****ed off at me when I tried to interest her in my mod plans for the new Max. I just tinted the windows and installed my sounds with full on Dynamat insulation. Next, I'm looking to drop and find the most appropriate wheels and tires. As for my girlfriend, the hell with her! I'll just find another one that appreciates automotive artistry.

 

Congrats on the new Max. Trust me guys it took a while for the wife to start becoming interested. I was "mod this mod that" after I purchased the car and she couldn't give a damn. I made her look at the y-pipe/b-pipe/cat and explained to her what they did. This would be the equivalent of a woman making you look at make-up kit and explaining how each piece functioned!!

Then, I took her to the track. She has always told me she was the better driver so it was time to finalize that. She bested me in time and doesn't let me breathe without knowing it . This definitely tweaked her interest.

Now that she has the 2003 she is very interested in making it faster and never giving me a chance to beat her at the track!!

 

Bottomline: Your wife ROCKS Boo!!

My wife loves my Max alot but has no interst in modding it(or giving it more than 1/2 throttle, for that matter).
