Do you find yourself speeding more with ur max?
Do you find yourself speeding more with ur max?
In any other vehicle even with my 8500 I stay at 85mph or below
with my max and no detector I do 95mph and slow to 85 when I think theres a cop up ahead. I swear I try useing the cruise but even with that I max it out at 96mph. Dam maxama its to easy and comfortable to speed! I think I will try to sue nissan

i def. agree with that. when i came up to college i was averaging about 93. i went 110 and it was so smooth, but ill never do that again, right after i did it i realized its not safe. and never go 80 in the rain, i did that on accident and my car started to hydroplane, never been more scared in my life.
Nope. I've already taken the class for going 20+mph over once more than I'm supposed to for a lifetime. Even with that in mind, I was more prone to speed/accelerate hard/run through gears in my old integ...I think in general I'm more liable to drive harder in a raw car rather than something as smooth as the max.
In the max I just cruise and bump the stereo most of the time.

I tend to average about 80 on the freeway. It never feels like I'm going as fast as I really am (kinda nice to know how comfy the Max's ride is). It's funny especially when I'm driving my mom or my girlfriend somewhere and they're freaking out about me going 95 when I'm thinking I'm only going 75 or 80.
In my Eclipse, it's totally opposite. Due to the noisy 4 cylinder, I think I'm going hella fast, but I'm only going 70

I tend to speed more in my Max than my previous car (240sx). However, I get pulled over way less in the Max. The 240sx looked like a "sports car" to cops whereas my Max looks like a "family sedan".
Also, my 240sx was red, my Max is black...I've noticed it has helped a lot. I've driven by cops going faster than I used to on my 240sx when I got pulled over and now, they just ignore me. Got about 8 speeding tickets in less than two years with my 240sx and lost my license for 30 days. Only got one (knock on wood) with the Max in almost three years. Pretty drastic eh?

yea, i drive way too fast in my maxima. That's because the other car i CAN drive (parents' restriction on their 530 beamer) feels like it's going to die when i reach 80 (96 altima.. god, that thing is a piece of shiet. My parents wanted me to take that car instead of the maxima, but i said "hellll no")

I keep the speed down in traffic but at like 2:30-4:30am on the parkway Im usually around 85-100, unless its raining, I hate driving in the rain,

It's probably because it handles speed so well that you don't notice it creeping up to that speed.

i used to cruise at like 90-100 on freeway, but now i have to many speeding tickets and dont find it that safe (atleast if theres traffic around) so now i have cooled down with speeding and try to keep around 65-80 to avoid getting my license suspended
Two reasons why i speed with my max....1) the acceleration is so light and the ride is so smooth, it doesn't feel like you are speeding at all. 2) it's my car, I can use and abuse it. Plus I rather get in an accident driving my own car then when I drive anyone else's.

PS: Can you reduce your sig size? I'm on my laptop right now and I can't even see half of your post without scrolling left and right.
Not for me, I speed no matter what I drive. Either it's my car or my sister's Accord, or my dad's conversion van(although I get a bit worry at high speed with the conversion van because the lack of handling capabilities).

definetly... even all my friends say it feels like we are going slower then we actually are. infact me and my girlfriend were fighting in the car, and i was going alittle too fast un-intentually, and a cop pulled me over!!!
i was so upset because my car is not registered and i didn't want him to impound it! so he came up and asked for license and registration. i handed him my license, and then reached for my glove box to make it seem like i had my car registered. so while i was fishing through all my stuff the cop says "organ donor huh? plan on donating anytime soon?" of course i said no, and he gave me a little lecture, and then he let me go scott free w/o looking at my registration!!!!!!!!!!!! i was sooooooo lucky! well thats my story, sorry, i had to share.
