- If after reading about common problems (coils, rattles, maf's) you suddenly swear that your car hs that problem.
- You spend way too much time checking for new post on maxima.org
- Pick on BMW's and Audi's because that is the car the you really wanted.
- Love to kick the crap out of "sports" cars at the stoplight derby in your family car.

And if they do, consider yourself just like the rest of us...5/5.5 gen owners! We are unique, and kick a$$ in the "family" sedan arena!

...you have called at least 27 dealerships to try and find one that will advance your timing
...you reset your "drive by wire" as often as your girlfriend/wife gets her period

The thing I like most about our key fobs is that you can still use the lock/unlock/window-down features when the key is in the ignition. I have my key on a detachable key chain from my fob so I can let my car warm up and use the fob to lock/unlock the doors. I know, you guys with remote-start don't have to worry about this, but it's nice for us guys who don't have that feature YET. I'm not sure how many other companies' fobs work this way, but I know Ford doesn't, and I know that BMWs, Volkswagons, etc. can't do this because their fob is part of their key.

... if you are installing/modding something and you need to speak to someone else about the mod and you go through 10 different threads looking for their org name so you can PM them but it's no where to be found. Yet, it's always in your face when you don't need help.
... if the first thing you do when you get to work is check your email and org PM.
... if you wonder everytime you look at Juice's signature , should I get those taillights?
... if you refer to someone or diss someone by calling them newbie just becuz they have less then 500 posts.
... if you are age of 30+ and you hate on everyone that brags about a new mod and are under the age of 21 because when you were their age, you were dead broke.
... if you constantly try to decide between G35c rims, 04 max rims, or 350z rims.
... if you have "
" in your signature or avator.
... if you have a seperate group labeled "Org buddies" in your AOL or AIM.
... if you tell the valet parker "My headlights turn on automatically, don't touch it"
... if you start a thread with the title and put "56k users, don't bother"
... if you get on the org to check new threads right after having sex.
... if you have a 2000 GXE with 2k3 taillights and 2k3 headlights claiming it's a 2003 Max until I approach you and scream at you cuz you forgot to swap front bumper before lying like a b!tch.
... when you're at a corporate meeting, and you zone out cuz in the back of your mind you're thinking "Should I get 19inch axis spyder with chrome lip or 19inch supermesh2 rims this summer."
... if your thread is so long that it knocks .org off and the moderator has to put up "maxima.org is temporarily down" just to backup/delete your thread.

so far so good guys
heres my additions
...you really really want DDEs but you are skeptical because of all the complaint threads about ballasts going out
...if you have DDEs, you have 2 extra ballasts JUST IN CASE
...if you are a 00-01 owner, you really really want 5.5 gen HIDS, but damnit, they are so expensive!!
...you have actually thought about getting the projection headlights, then you think "what the hell AM i thinking?"
...you have HIDs in your foglights, and you forget that you never turn your headlights on anymore
...you have Matt from Umnitza on speed dial
...Warpspeed or Cattman Y-pipe?
...you have tried to think of a way to put the Redmax screen in your dash
...you call your car "4 door sports sedan" daily
...you hate reading "will the 5.5 gen headlights bolt right in my 00?"
..."how come i LOSE power when i put my intake in?"
...whenever you are driving, and you see clear corners on a max, you get kinda excited and try to get the other drivers attention to see if they are on the org

....if you still stare at your Max thinking to yourself, "Man, that's a nice car!" after nearly five years of ownership.
....if driving your Max is more relaxing than going to the bar after a long day.
....if your friends say, "Your car looks far classier than the Altima."
....if you would turn down a BMW in favor of another 5th Gen.
....if you have ever wondered what an AWD Max with good suspension would handle like in the rain or snow.
And Finally,
You might be a 5th Gen owner if.....
.....you were to become a millionaire and the first thought through your head was 'Now, I can finally build a perfect Max.'
