I definitely "love" my 99SE 5spd, but only as much as I could "love" a car, which is relatively "not that much" compared to a lot of people here.
What do I love the most about it? That it will run dead even with Acura's new flagship 300HP RL despite being down by 110hp.

I love everything about my max but lately I've been noticing how putting gas in her tank kills my wallet. I'm still in college and think that I should have waited until I graduate. I guess I'll have to suck it up for another year.
Should I consider getting a brand new 4cyl. Altima when I graduate? I would like a brand new car and better gas mileage. I know i'll be downgrading but I rather drive a brand new 4cyl car that'll benefit me in the long run. What do you guys think?

My car sat for 2 months with a blown MAF. I've been looking to buy a house for about 6 months now and someone finally acepted an offer on the same day I put a new MAF in the Maxima and got it on the road. I was more excited about driving the Maxima then getting the house
I think true max love is how long you had your car .Ive had my max for 6 years ,it has its second tranny and second engines going in soon and i have no thoughts of letting it go.

Us being the owners dont spend much time in the back seat inless its stripping it for the track, or vaccuming it out or adding some custom leather. But now that i actually got in the back and sat, it was pretty darn comfy and roomy! I dont want to hear about my friends complaining anymore!! 
Even with the seat all the way back i still had room and im a big kid, 6'2 170 lbs. Next the VQ. The VQ is probably the strongest engine i have ever seen. Being a 17 yr old kid i do drive my car hard sometimes. Everyone does. When i first got my 96 and installed my STS and took it out for a ride i accidenly shifted from 5th to 2nd thinkin it was fourth. The poor thing bounced off the rev limiter and scared the poop out of me. Having 118k miles on her i still havent had to do one thing to the engine. Regular oil change and she runs perfect.
Performace wise no one would ever think the max would eat some of the 2 door sports cars on the street. That mighty V6 pulls those 4 doors right down the street with ease. With minor mods this hangs with the higher end V8s. The pure adrenaline of a 4 door grocery getter flying down the track pulling off low 14s or high 13s and smoking GTs is just insane.
The maxima is also one of the sexiest cars ive seen. With so rims, drop and a nice lip kit this car stands out among ever other car. The curves and design of the maxima is amazing. Some cars on the org just make me drool. Everywhere i go people look and ask my what kind of car i drive.
I was at the car wash the other day and two older ladies walked up to me as i was drying my car off and they say, " excuse me sweetie, we were wondering what kind of car this is." I replied with, " Its a Nissan Maxima," with pride. The proceded to say, " how can you afford such a new car, you cant be any older then 20." I told then that actually my car was a 96 and im only 17 yrs old. They said they couldnt believe it was a 96. They admire the paint and also said my wheels were real snazzy
The nice older ladies actually asked to sit inside of it!! I let them both sit in the drivers seat. I told them it was nice talking to them but i had to get going. Well ill end my book here. Just wanted to share the love of my maxima. Pretty cool a grocery getter can do all this!!

I love my turboed Maxima so much THAT I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. That's right I have 2 Maxima's that were both at one time turboed, although only one is now. 
Not that I need 2 turboed Maxima's anyways. :O
