When it comes to your Max, how do you feel you treat it?

I think I treat my max in pretty good condition.

I treat it pretty good but, I be messing around to much and be taking my max to the max

Maxima Girl

Too good almost. Keep them in the garage and not on the street enough. But, the poor daily driver could use some love.

It could be better if I didn't have so many things that I create. I still treat it like my pride and joy. Sometimes you gotta smack her around a little, and let her know who's boss. She calls me "daddy" does that count?

Treat her well, some times I wish I had some extra time and tools to get extra work done, but I always try to keep her tip top.

Max2n

I picked the second choice. But I think I treat My Max with TLC, but I always feel I can do better. I don't know I always worry about it. That's why we're down with the ORG

It wouldn't be a MAXima if you didn't MAX it out sometimes...

better than my girl...? almost. i baby her a lot when driving but once and a while i'll let it go; more than i used to. wax and wash as much as possible. what kind of question is that? options one for sure.

i take great care of it maintenance wise but i beat the crap out of it but no where on the same level as SR.

I treat her best I can, but prob. should do more. Driving too fast has resulted in a chipped bumper, headlights and hood. She doesn't get cleaned as often as I'd like. But everyone comments on how well I do clean her. And I hit the rev limiter quite often. But I always warm her up nice and slowly keeping close to 2k RPM. She gets GTX about every 3750 and BP Ultimate.

I chose 1, but was considering 2. From a maintenance standpoint 1 is the right choice. However, I should wash the Max more often. I do get it profesionally detailed once a year out of guilt.

im pretty mental with my max, talk to her like a person, keep her in tip top shape, as for as driving I cruise around town, but hammer down at the track. the engine is approaching 162,000 miles and she runs sweet ! hard to believe i have had the car 8 years, she's been great !

Treat it right in terms of maintenance and drive it to the max of its capabilities... I figure it is a fair trade-off...

My fiancé hates my car because it gets so much attention... The max is an attention *****.

"Your going to wash it again, you just washed it"
"You just changed the oil"
"It doesn't need wax"
etc...

I treat her like a chicks , whit respect and love.

just give me some times .. she will be top notch

Haibert88

I take good care of my car...From a mechanical point of view, I always do the oil changes with mobil 1 synthetic and use mobil 1 filter. I always check all fluids and top off if needed. Always warm it up nice n slow before I hit the freeways or do any spirited driving, etc etc...From a cosmetic point of view, I take it to the car wash every 2 weeks but I park it outside at work so it gets dirty anyway, and the inside I keep clean as I can since I got it in such good shape...None the less my car is outta state and has a lot of rust so I'm guessing this car is good for only another 2-3 years which is how long I plan on keeping it anyway

Nothing but the best for my car be it lubricants, fuel or detailing products. And the aftermarket stuff isn't the cheapo knock off stuff either.

Mechanicly I baby my car. Cosmetically I have been slacking.

If my max could talk, It'd ask for a divorce

After totaling my first 99, I was lucky enough to find another super black 99 5spd, so I'm totally overdoing on this second chance...

man that sounds like I'm talking bout a chick

jdagos1011

I take good care of her mechanicly, but i beat on her a lot. Still runs like new, even though she has 218k. thats why i bought a maxima.

Bobo

Lol, I used to have a car about which I said:.... if it could talk I'd have to shoot it!

Mechanically mines treated great, but the body and interior get fcking beat without mercy.

I baby my car. Wax wash as much as possible. Maintanance wise, it is tip top. if it needs something I fix it. Just did the spark plugs, about to do the coil packs next everything is logged in a maintance log.

mtbendo

I don't take as good of care of it as I used to. It was a garaged baby for 13 years before getting kicked out to the drive way last year and becoming my daily driver.

Park2670

I am a clean person. I never leave anything in my car. I try to never have food in there. Its clean as much as possible. I spent a lot of money.... I will be getting the worth out of it!

that's when you say

"but I'm washing it to make it look good when I drive you to the salon"
"but I gotta keep it running good, change the oil, so I can take you places"
"but waxing it makes it look so much better, baby"

OR

"hey, toots.... cold steel doesn't talk back"
"better to wax the Max than wax your a$$"
"have you changed YOUR oil lately?"

I do treat it better than my girl, which is a lot to say... My mom thinks I'm gonna wash the paint off, My dad doesnt understand how every weekend im doing SOMETHING with the car, Everyone thinks im a loser for being on these forums, I clean the garage just so I can park in it, Every dollar I earn is spent on it, Yeah i'd say I treat it pretty well.

Meyhem

i treat it so so.. i clean it once ina while.. if theres sumthing wrong with it i check it out as soon a i can. i think its time for a tuneup

FunLovinMaxima

My whip's got leather, belts, and a chain... and I keep it well lubed... and i always put ultra-high-performance rubbers on the 16" Giggidy, giggidy, gig-gi-dy!

ArcticDC5

I live in an apt right now and the trunk of my max is cluttered with rags, tools, spare parts, fire extinguisher. When I get my townhouse shortly, the car will be cleaned out. Driving it I am pretty gentle and stay on top of all maint items. I also shift around 2500 rpm 99% of the time.

Max 1 is treated just fine. Had it 1 year, only has 6800 miles. Max 2 is treated well. Had it 16 months, has 8000 miles. They are identical SLs, except for interiors (one's tan, the other charcoal)

I beat mine regularly. Gotta keep the carbon build-up to a minimum!


I wash it twice a week and wax it once a month.
