Anyone ever lose their front lip while driving?
So there I am driving home from school this afternoon on the NJ turnpike. I'm doing about 75 (nothing illegal) in the left lane when all of a sudden I realize there is a little extra noise in the cabin. I check the windows, they're all up. I check the sunroof, it's closed. I turn off the radio, that noise is still there. Then all of a sudden BAAM, I ran something over. I look in my rear-view mirror to see what it was and I see my front lip go under another car and the jump about 6 feet into the air traveling about 75 mph. I'm in total shock. I pulled over to see if there was any damage and from what I saw in my mirror there wasn't an accident as a result of this. I just thank god that there wasn't a major accident or anything that resulted from this.
As far as the lip being secure. I've had no problems with it since I put it on sometime late last year.

Most would be angry at this, good to see you have a sense of humor about the subjet. I would have chosen option 2 as well if I was on a highway. Hopefully ill never have to make that choice and my front lip just stays in place.

Those were the times though...when Maxima.org used to be a community of supportive Maxima owners. Now, it's just a battle of wits and power. (Much love to kEvIn-G though
