I had the pleasure of seeing this Maxima in person and meeting and talking to the cool owner of this Maxima on here his name is MAC and his name is MING he wrecked this beautiful legendary Maxima a while back. This is one Maxima that has set all standards and here are pics and specs of his car just a thought. I was just looking through my pics on my hard drive and saw his car again and it made me write this.

This is one maxima that made me mod my car. A very kool guy indeed!

 

I met Ming for the first time at Nopi 2002. He is a character just wish I could have seen his max before the tragedy

 

good thread william

mings maxima

 

not too shabby.

 

yea i loved mings max, everything about it looked great

 

Whatever ended up happening in that whole situation? That was one sweet Max. Ming was OG..

=/

 

Man, over two years ago I fell in love with his Maxima when I was a good ole newbie. He set my standards on what I bought and on what I did to my Maxima....I miss him and his awesome ride...

 

i copied his grill.. it was one of my first mods.

such a great guy.. i have his CAI/hoses now (Still have to do the damn hoses)

 

Anyone know his situation as of late? Is he in prison?

 

no he is not in prison.

will btw it was a 99 se-l

 

Ok, nimso so he's not in prison... Where is he? How is he doing?

There's a lot of folks here (me included) that really feel bad for his whole situation and want to know that he is doing Ok. Does *anybody* know what's going on? What was the final charge? (is it final yet?) Is it over yet?

 

Thats always a plus.

SuDZ

 

probably none of your business(es)

 

He's not in prison, and he's just trying get on with his life the best he can. He'll be ok. Let's just leave it at that.

 

I second that.....

 

okay, i saw that max before, but didn't remember reading anything about a tragedy so i dunno what happened... was a nice max tho

 

Either way, I'm glad to hear he's ok and not in prison. He's on my mind from time to time.

 

Well said.


I saw mings max for the first time driving on the way up to maxus 2001. I mouth just dropped when he pulled up next to me. hehehehe.


Ming is probably one of the nicest most genuine guys I have ever met.

 

 

Met Ming on a few occasions and plan to keep doing so each time i'm in ATL. He's a great guy and has moved on with his life...

 

I couldn't have said it better, and he knows how to party too

 

pink pony anyone bags? prpmax? ming? mmmmmokay.

 

how long have you been dating?

 

 

 

 

YeahI have pics of his car too before the set up he finally had. My latest pics included a shaved spoiler and the tt fuel door. That car was one to look up to. Ming himself is a great guy with a great head on his shoulders. He will be forever remembered, never forgotten.

 

Everyone is talking like he is the one that died......

 

he had a really nice maxima from what I can see in the pictures, but I have no idea what happened to him...

 

ditto.

 

he didnt die, i just heard from him today. he just doesnt come on here anymore.

 

For those of you who don't know.....
