Got my Maxima back from getting painted.

Well I had the "pleasure" of driving a mitsu galant rental for 2 days.
It had a 4cyl.
Let me tell you...I realize now how much I love my Maxima. Maxima.
It is the lil things I missed not having....
auto windows, 8way pwr seats, auto dim mirror, HIDs, stereo controls on s.w.,
6 disc cd changer, and then there was the big thing I missed not having....
255hp 3.5 V6. I had to merge onto the interstate today from a stop...and it was the first time I punched it since I got it back. I was like
So anyway...I'll get pics of the paintjob tomorrow. It came out well...except for the fact that they didn't put painting the bumper into the estimate so they didn't paint it. It has some scratches but I might be able to get them out with some polish/wax...so we will see.

I drove a Civic for a fews days when my Maxima was in the shop, but when I got back behind the wheel of my Maxima I felt like I was driving a Ferrari. I know how you feel.

Same experience here, only it was a 4 cyl Camry. Nice enough car, but not much punch getting onto the freeway. Also, all the little amenities that I am used to in the Maxima. It was soooo good to have the Max back (and the repairs turned out great). Glad yours turned out good too.
