I was on honda-tech.com reading some of the posts about these girls and guys etc that comment their Type R's and such and boy was it a good laugh lol. I'll post the thread once I find it there. So I figured I'd read some of the comments you guys got from girls guys people of all ages regarding your rides. I mean after all we modify our cars for maybe 3 reasons. 1.) Attention 2.) Hobby 3.) To be Unique.

I'll post some of my experiences, from girls I get is your car broken I think your muffler is not working right, me uhh *Stillen Catback*

I raced a guy in a 5spd maybe 6? Late model VR6 Jetta and I beat him by about 3 car lenghts he says to me "I forgot to shift into second let's run again", I run again this time I beat him by more, he say's "Go home ******* stop street racing", me, roll window up go on my merry way.

This girl says to me "Oh hell no your car reminds me of a night club all you need is a bathroom"... Me laughing... (Strobes, HIDs, LED Mirrors, Strobes Inside, System, Neon tubes in trunk) then she says "Wait only Z3's have these fenders" I go sweetheart they are Z3 Fenders. LoL.

On the freeway I went WOT, and this guy in a CLK320 Conv. was breaking his neck trying to figure out which car sounded like that (Y pipe, Catback, Intake).

Litlle kids asking me if I have nossssss... lol

Old folks looking at me all weird thinking another fast and furious wannabe kid.

People looking at my hood asking me if it's fiberglass, then saying why does it have spider webs, then sometimes asking if I was in an accident because the rest of the car is black but the hood doesn't match. LoL (Carbon Fiber Hood)

Share some of your experiences lol.

 

I always get questions like "What's wrong with your hood?" or "Damn bro, it's too dirty man". I usually don't respond but if I do always have to remind them who and WHAT they are dealing with: A GUY WITH A MAX THAT HAD THE STRUT COME THROUGH THE HOOD SO HE PUT PLUMBER'S PUTTY ON THE HOLE SO WATER WON'T LEAK THROUGH OK

 

there was a thread like this couple of weeks ago

 

Was there? Oh well I still think it's entertaining to hear some stories.

 

yeah go back a few pages, it was pretty long

There ya go.

 

Usually people say...

"KNUCK IF YOU BUCK!"

 

the usual ppl walking around the car 5 times and cant figure out what kind of car it is because shaving the emblems really throw them off

 

interesting but never had any comment about my car execpt that someone said my Spoiler looks like a boomerang.

I had a 74 yo patient last night at work who asked me how I liked my altima he was so convinced that he corrected me saying it was an altima even after I said it was a maxima (he was driving a cts)

other than that she's stock so don't get too many passers-by

 

My wife: "Why does your car sound like an airplane? When are you going to fix it?"

(I still haven't told her about the supercharger. )

 

that's hilarious!

 

This weekend:

"dat shyts phat yo wut iz dem 20's dawg...dayum!"

 

Haha, at Stephen Max!

They usually say my car looks good for almost having 90,000 miles on it. It does have battle scars though. And they like my rims. I have noticed that my pebble beige is like 3 shades lighter than other beige maximas from the same year. Is it the wax I'm using?

 

for my car the older ppl like the way my car look with my 18" and a intrax drop. look luxurious and semi pimp

 

When i rolled down the windows using the remote in front of the grocery store, one man offered me money if i could it to his car. I told him that it came like that.

I love maxima OEM options

 

"wanna race"
"nice carr!!" - kids on bicycles
"how does your car sound like that"

You can say I get looked at alot.

 

Is that a new Altima?

 

Where???12

 

how much did you pay for the sound system/nice system then i say, THX STOCK BOSE !

 

When your ride is modded you get alot of looks and comments: These are some of the my favorites, why because I'm a automatic 4th gen, with skyline painted altezzas

"holy sht is that a skyline"

"what year is that car?"

"hey man, can you rev it so my friend can hear
your engine"

"is your car standard?"

"almost sounds like its turboed"

"nah man you'll smoke my ***" (came from a 2001 impala se)

"you didnt even give me a chance to say MONICA"
(while racing a friends honda)

"Hey man your cars fast, what have you done to it?" (while racing a so called fast 240)


"Quit lieing your car is not a v6, no mames way, es ocho cylindros" (after I smoked a slow *** v6mustang)

My most favorite:

"Nah baby, My car is faster than his, but he's lieing, his car is supercharged, I can hear it..... SO thats why I lost. Its like a unfair advantage..."

This happened while I was with my chick, I had ran against a guy w/his g/f in a 97 GT mustang and got whooped by a 4door car... We got to the next light, I had my windows down, he was convertible, and then he asked me."what have you done to the car? and I told him "intake, shift kit, and UDP, I had more but I doubt he would know what a y-pipe is" and then he turned to his g/f and that were we heard it all. what a sore loser, and airhead g/f (well not the g/f they dont know much about cars.)

 

hahah. same here. my girlfriend even told me the other day that she looked at my car and thought it looked silver for a second.

pebble beige is a nice color if you keep it clean.

 

People gawk at it when its parked or stare at my wheels. I've had a bunch of girls try racing me...two girls in a beige 5th gen kept pacing me once

People seem to do double and triple takes on my car. My car is really quiet at idle, and really deep and loud at WOT. Had a few people go...holy crap what's in there? A 350? More than often people wonder what kinda of car I have...and wonder how something so old still looks pretty decent. I even had an old man that was walking by when I was meeting up with other maxima owners say my car looks like a 4 on the floor.

S

 

Mine says the same thing months after I confessed I had an SC! "Why do I hear this whine like a jet engine? Its seems to come on when you gas it..."

 

heh...

I once passed these 2 guys during a rolling traffic jam. As I went by, they were like, "Oh, it's stick too!" One of the guys proceeds to walk up to my passenger window and ask me how much I wanted for the car...I was like, are you serious?

I talked to him for a while, then traffic started moving. They guy started doing side-steps while his arms were on the windowsill just so he could keep talking...hilarious.

 

Nothing but bad comments except from maxima enthusiasts.

 

"WOW where did you get that Maybach?!"

that's great

 

I just love parking my car at the gas station and then going inside and remote starting it. It drives the homeless guys crazy. They always get up and are like "what the hell, who is in there". I also get the whole, is your car's name KIT. heheh. The best is when i floor it and my girlfriend asks why my car is so loud. She then proceeds to tell her friends what i have done to my car. Its like she is bragging for me.

 

ive had people tell me that my car looks like a hooked up BMW, lol dont know where that one came from. some girls thought it looked like a honda w/ a body kit, and one girl said the front looked like a mustang.. go figure..

also: "i didnt they make flowmaster DUAL exhaust for jap cars"

 

w/ my max, even though it's a '98, I've never had more girls give me looks and stares like "oooh, love your max"

there was one chick at a car-wash who dried off my max, she thought I was blinding her w/ how bright my max was, along w/ the day being sunny, and she was like "i wish you got a darker colored car, you just blinded me!" and I was like "i'll blame by brother for that!" lol, she was cute, but a bit too young for me tho.

 

I don't know if it was because of me or my maxima, but I got flashed by some chicks in another car tonight

 

One of the best possible responses to the car

~THT

 

Maybach? That's a good one

 

First of all, I didn't expact that I would reply to this post at all, because I never got any real "response" from drivers from the streets. BUT That all ends today, I was in my car with my girlfriend, my cousin looking for Parking lot in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was the worest traffic hours that I've ever encounter. So there I was stucking in traffic going 2MPH, all the sudden a green Dodge Avenger (with wheels, loud Cannon Muffler) roll up next to me on my right hand side and he RAVVED at me!! I was disturbed from my conversation with my GF and after I heard that engine RAVV, my cousin told me "Yo, that guy is RAVVing at you!" I was like WTF? why is he ravving at me in the middle of traffic hour?? It was 2 white guys, then they moved ahead before I can roll down my window to see what they want. My cousin then said they might be checking out my girlfriend and not really my car.


BTW, couple days ago a 2k'ish black eclipse, with altezza light, lowered, muffler ravved at me too in a different area, but also during traffic hour??


So, whats the deal with Ravving at people during traffic hour?? is this a new cool thing to do?

 

Erm...Revving at you?

~THT

 

Yup they did!, so whats the deal?
