I like the high mounted brake light you added to the spoiler (the Maxima in the Super Bowl ad did not have a brake light in the spoiler). The electric blue paint job is impressive, but, if Nissan does give us a blue on the 8th gen Maxima, it will be a quiet navy.

I do have some reservations regarding your caster/camber settings.

You realize if you buy it first then your car should take Rochester 7gen spot on the website banner... pick a good color!

Couldn't help but notice you had an early Datsun Maxima. The Maximas built in 1980 were versions of the Datsun 810/910 lines, and were sold in the U.S. as 1881 models. I had friends with 810s in the late 1970s (while I was driving a 1978 Datsun 200SX). The 910s were more in Japan than in the US. I rode to work in a 1982 diesel version of the Maxima for two years. LOW to the ground!. I bought two 1985 Maximas in October 1984. I also had a 2000 Maxima, which I see in your list of owned cars. Good car. Very good car.

I saw an 83 or 84 Maxima the other day here in S.Cal, it was in dang good shape. It was that darker blue color that they had those 2 years. In S.Cal you see a lot of Maximas of vintage (Gens 1 to 3, 2 and 3 primarily) in pretty good shape!

I haven't see many 1st gen Maximas here in middle Georgia in the last ten years. I saw two 2nd gen station wagons recently, as well as three 2nd gen sedans. One wagon and one sedan still looked in good shape, but the other three were clearly desperation transportation.

I was still seeing one of my two old 1985 Maxima sedans around town until around five years ago. I can always recognize my old Maximas because of the wheelwell molding, rainguards, etc, that I always put on them. It had 206,000 miles on it when I let it go almost twenty years ago.

Restoring old cars is a very common hobby in the particular county where I live, but almost all the restored cars are American cars from the 1930s thru 1960s. When my neighbor died, he left three beautifully restored oldies, including a T Model Ford, to his wife. She has them locked up in one of her storage buildings.

Every time I see an old classic that has been carefully restored, I crane my neck and think back to the 'good old days.'

Please keep fat people out of the car. You'll crack a spring and bust a nut.
