from my experiences and hearing about this guy he is a complete **** about the car.. i remember people telling me at nopi nationals he told people not to get too close to the car and even yelled at some kids for putting fingerprints on his car.

it's not my style, but it does have a lot of work done.. of course maxima.org is not a place to showcase this car.

Lots of cash invested into it for sure, but there is no way he is getting 20k US for it.

20,000 dollars, i dont think this max can bring that kind of dough in. Some good ideas but many conflicting things going on in this project. no doubt lots of work and time put on this one but was a bit out of control for me.

Hey smilie do you like this car ? thats what i thought !

The car is certainly unique. Not my first choice in color, but maybe he was fond of the green. Maybe the guy is an avid hunter, and he takes his Maxima deep into the forests, and in that case, its perfect camo. He can ride right up to a buck's ***, and let the buck have it, lol.

I dont think the car is worth $5K, let alone $10K or $20K. Can you imagine trying to get a loan from a bank to buy it. You go to the bank and show them the car, and the whole lending department breaks into a collective laugh!

Actually there is such a thing...at least, I think I remember it being called that. All it is, is a little thing about the size of a MAF meter, and it looks like an apple slicer kind of... It's supposed to create a vortex inside the intake and make the air come in quicker... Yeah right...
Costs about $50...

Yeah, it's not a daily driver and not for me, but to hurl one insult after another on it is just a herd mentality. What about a $100,000 chopper with wrenches holding the tree to the handle bars, and a rachet for the shift, and instead of an oil box it's a tool box? Why not just spend 30 grand on a Harley with custom parts instead and save 70 grand? Because when people have money they can be eccentric. It's like a bandwagon on the forum sometimes, this car looks like **** but a 4th gen with $600 HID's that don't fit are cool.

another example that money can't buy taste. this would be a great project though - convert it back to stock (dipping the car in acid would be a good start)!

I kinda like it

I think if the interior wasnt done so poorly, and instead of tacky yellow/green it was blue/darkblue or blue / candy purple it would look pretty trick.

That bike is not being bought by someone in the general public. It is being bought by Snap-on. So, $100k for them isn't the same as $100k for a regular person. Plus, I'm sure that bike is going to be bad a$$ when it is finished... just like all of his other bikes. IMO
As of the last episode, there wasn't a tool box used as the oil box. There was a tool box in the space where the oil box usually goes. Paulie made an oil box and relocated it.

To get back on the topic, I don't like the car, wouldn't pay $20k for it, and it's not because any of you don't like it.

The problem with a car like this is he built it to suit HIS taste. Most people who want a highly modded car do the work themselves or pay someone to do the touches they want. That way it's "your" car, not some other guy's car that you doled out too much cash for.

The car itself isn't rare or hard to find. That combination of mods is what make it stand out. It would be tough to find someone that wants the same interior/paint/wheels/stereo/etc, as the guy who owns that thing.

BTW, I think it's ugly, but if you want to draw that much attention to yourself, go ahead and buy it.

I heard that ,too. Nopi Nat's '02 the car was entirely green and no spinners. Has or had a nice bag setup though. Paint was nice but not show quality IMO. He was ridin' around with a guy in a late model Kandy orange Grand Prix on dubs. The guy in the GP was cool but the Max owner was a bit of a *****.

Guacamole Green does not belong on maximas, it belongs on ghetto "fabalus" impalas or other cars like that. But please, not the max.



He's gonna need to PAY someone 20,000 just to get rid of it. uke:





It would be nicer if he got a different color on it. And the interior has got to go.

nice car.

That car has much much much work than MOST people from the org. May not be our flavor but it's still a maxima with a 5000.00 paint job.

if the owners that much of a Queer then smack the B!otch, his car seems nice enough that id ask 15yr olds to get away too though. just an opinion .
zippers on pants...
levis metal pocket tabs....
that famous lighter that dragged across the side....


All ive seen done at car shows.

I saw that car at NOPI last year too. Talked to the owner for a minute. He is cocky, acts like he's the hotness for driving it.

Color isn't that bad actually, in real life it doesn't look as bad. But at the time, it didn't have the yellow. But whoever sprayed it did cut some corners. You could tell here and there. And the tweed job is done pretty badly. I don't like tweed to begin with, but on his, someone did it in a hurry or something.

Can that car be built for $20K? Probably not. Is it worth $20K? Definitely not.
