Poll: Should maximas be garaged for the months JULY/AUGUST

After seeing sprint's thread about all these totalled maximas during these months...and now seeing another Accident in the 5th gen forum..should nissan program the ecu's to shut down for july/aug? I think we've lost about 6 maximas withing these 2 months.

I wish I could, but I do not have another beater car. Also, my car is usually on jack-stands all these months anyways. Last summer it was on jack-stands for the 5-speed swap and all those problems. This summer it is tranny problems and a little exhaust cricket......

. Its all for the good though. The car is down when most Maxima related accidents occur lol. I say, CHANCE IT....

Sure, pay almost $30k for a brand new car and watch it rot in the garage.

Hey!!!!! Just because I am 'working on projects' and my car has to sit and rot, doesn't mean I don't get good use out of IT!!! Just look at what I can do with all the parts I am supposed to be putting in the car...

Nitrous tank- Use it to dust off my keyboard and monitor.
Purge Valve- See above. (best used on blinds)
SAFCII- Tells me my microwave is running super efficient.
Titanium Retainers- Pogs
Nitrous Progressive Controller- The TIVO of the 22nd century.
Cams- These are the wonder parts of the 21st century. I use them to do curls, as paperweights, lincon logs, drumsticks, skewers (cooks meat way more effectively than standard skewers.) and last, but not least, back scratchers.
