about last year i got pulled over in staten island because the cops were running a random check on maxima's that night because at that time in Staten Island that was the most popular car to steal. just cuz it was 3 in the morning and i was in a "bad" neighborhood. my old man got pulled over driving my car a few times around that time too. haven't been doing the random checks as of late though.

6 out of 10, pretty damn impressive, but in NY Maxs are EVERYWHERE (just shows our good taste). Thats probably how so many people are getting the parts for mods, because n one seems to keep these things stock for long.

Loe max

I'm guessing the 99+ maxima's aren't on there because of the NVIS(Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System)?

WoodEar

nah, staten island can't be a bad neighbournood.
according to a certain ny member(who used to own a max), it's a high class area, where you see 540 and GS400 every 10 minutes

It's not too bad a place to live, just parts of it. If I was to live in the City, I think I would live there. It just like any other place, like Westchester, Nassau, Orange Co., CA etc. There are some really nice places, but some really ghetto areas. I see many, MANY more nice cars in Manhattan though.

WoodEar

hehe tell me about it.
i think in certain part of manhattan, you see more black S600 than yellow cab, and we all know how many cabs are out there

btw, i read it somewhere:
the place where has the most Mecedes per square mile, is HK.
the place where has the most Ferrari per square mile, is Monte Carlo.
wish one day i will see the 2nd one myself.

Johnny

because in the part where it says you can see how likely your car is to be stolen and compare it to an index of 100, Maxima is 509, yet Accord is 68 and Camry 98.

Man, they are so ready for e solutions!!!!

staten island can get pretty crappy in some areas, besides now that i think of it they closed one of the biggest chop shop operations in staten island around that time too. as for nice cars yeah you see them, but not like in the city..
