^^^ I guess you must be old then... or just drive like you are.... Sure Trin is a little hard on the throttle, but that is the point of owning a nice car... If you don't drive it like you stole it once in a while... then you might as well drive a hybrid... Yea Maxima's aren't the tuner car of choice, and the only reason I am driving and modding one is because I have one... but its what I love to do with my time and money, and if I can't enjoy it, then why bother... And that means being hard on it, and the reason I fix it and maintain it is so that when I am hard on it, it doenst brake.

Well why would one spend all sums of money on a car to go faster if your not using it. Anyways my maxima shoots fire and as soon as I get my raxles I am shooting for a low 14 second quarter.

Not old.... Just too much relies on my car starting everyday... Lol.... Sure the occasional romp on it happens.... But when every video someone posts is them abusing the car I tend to feel bad for it, unless of course it's built for the abuse. But just adding bolt on mods doesn't make it built for the abuse IMO.

Finally got some shop time last night... pulled the coolant feed pipe and installed new gaskets. Also pulled both cam sensors, and re oring/sealed them up. Just front valve cover gasket and she'll be leak free. Shop seems slow today, so I might even get to it tonight. (This is on my $500 auto Grey Maxi)

Fair enough. I am in and out of 2 or 3 cars all of the time... (not cause I am baller, I just like cars) But I am a huge advocate of reliable cars and maintaining cars so they are all turn key and go. Yes it is hard to beat your daily driver cause it might strand you, but at the same time, I buy cars to drive them. Maybe not like when I was 20. Difference is I actually have money to fix them when they break.

Replaced my coil packs and spark plugs the other day. It fixed the random misfire finally. I had to replace the whole exhaust system a few months ago from the exhaust manifold back. Now I think I need to get around to the intake..
