I love this car and I am pretty vocal about it to whom ever is riding with me. Especially the little things that only 5th Generation Maxima enthusiast could appreciate. My wife looks at me funny when I gush about the coolness.
For instance:
1. I like the express down button but I really like the express up button.
2. I like the way that the vents close flush.
3. I like it when I turn the key and the engine goes VVVVVVVVVvvvvoooOOOOOOoommmmmmm all by its self.

So Gen Fivers, what lil' things do we notice that most Non- maxima enthusiast wouldn't or when does your girl look at you funny. Oh, in my wife's defense, she talk me into buying it.

 

My girl thinks I'm wierd for smiling ear to ear when about a minute before parking I use the "express up" window, and the "express close" on the moonroof at the same time.

 

After I park my car in a public parking lot I look back at it several times on the way into the store, I problably look pretty stupid.

Hehe...I do the same.....Must look strange to others....

 

Yeah I do that too!

 

...parking further out in the lot as to lessen the chance of somebody parking right next to you, possibly denting your doors. Of course, the look back a few times to make sure it is still there, in its splendor and glory.

 

It's an unholy act not to.....HAHahah...

 

but with me, people also look back at the car with me!

I also stare at it from the second floor window in my house to the parking lot in my backyard. my brother thinks i'm looking at his big as a boat, chevy tahoe, when i'm actually looking at my Max, shining beautifully in the sun!

 

OMG! and i thought i was the only one!

 

maxima-ness...whats the stillen spark plug amp? (what does it do...what does it add, how much does it cost?) any answers are appreciated

 

Guilty as charged!!!!!

 

Me too! I'm constantly looking out the front window of our apartment at my Max. Randomly, throughout the day, I'll say to myself (in my mind), "I DRIVE A MAXIMA!!!", and a huge grin comes across my face.

I love dropping from D to 2...Excellent for roaring around town...I LOVE hearing my engine at about 3.5K, it's a nice growl, like she's saying "C'MON!!! LET'S GO!!!"

Then, parking in our lot and sitting at idle. It is the quietest car I've ever heard, not a single vibration anywhere in the car from the mighty VQ.


I LOVE MY CAR

 

i think you answered my question to why i don't have a girl...

 

Amen, brother... Do you park under a street lights after a fresh wash and wax job. I found the results are two-fold: deters thieves and looks great.

 

not only do I look back a few times as I walk away from the car but before stepping into it I make sure to circle it at least twice to check for new nicks or scratches.
I thought I was being a bit obsessive compulsive but now that i know that there are others who do this as well, I don't feel so bad.

 

hehe...i thought i was getting weird...oh, wellz..
but i ought to just write down license plates of cars that are parked next to me...so they can't run away with their ****!!!

anywayz...my girl friend doesn't care about those things..she knows i like cars and especially my car.
she's cool...she even said that i should do whatever i want to do with my car!! so...

 

How long can you go without washing your car before falling into seizure?

 

i can go about a month!!!

 

7 Days and it's in a covered garage. The other day there was a snow storm and for a moment their I considered walking !!!!

 

I can't stand a dirty car....If it gets over two weeks since the last wash, I go wash it regardless of the weather. (unless it is snowing or raining)
