Everytime I see a Max, I point it out, stating the Model, and the color. I think owning a Max is a disease, cause I've even got other people pointing Maximas out!

Not me. I used to, but there's *so* many of 'em here in Memphis, the novelty of seeing one wore off a long time ago. Almost all of 'em are *BONE* stock, too. In-season, I'll do the "test & tune" thing on Thursdays out at the Memphis Motorsports Park. I have been doing this for about two years, now. I have NEVER seen another Maxima out there racing, but the parking lot is just full of 'em. All I have to race against are riced-out Civics, 5.0's & such --which I walk all over-- or heavily modified domestic racers with SCs or throttle-in-a-bottle, racing slicks, etc. --which beat me to the finish line by 100-yds+! Ouch. That's no fun. Oh, well... maybe this year will be different.

I sure do. I have the sickness. (Obsessive-compulsive); I make eye contact with every Maxima I see. Aston Martins too, but I never see them.

i not only point out a max, i count and keep track of them. like on the way to school, i'll count how many 5th, 4th, 3rd, etc, gen max. it pisses off any1 else in the car, but like i give a s***, its my car and i will say what i want to.

Thank god

I'm not the only one that does this. I usually try to see what the person looks like that's driving one--some people surprise you, some don't.

My wife cringes every time I point one out, but she tolerates it (so far).

i like being the only custom max in my area but this is getting annoying...so far i have seen 2 others in person...1 was at a local dealership (5spd...they put in a supercharger, stillen exhaust, rims, stillen body kit), and i saw a red one lowered w/ exhaust...not sure what else it had

i raced a guy in a modded cl-s one time who said he also owned a maxima so he wanted to know what i had done etc.

i want someone to talk to around here in arizona...DAMNIT!
