Flashing Fellow Maxima Drivers

During the day when you see a Maxima on the road do you guys flash them? I got two in the last week, one from a 4th Gen and a 5th Gen today. My car is bone stock. I find it pretty cool that we acoknowledge each other like that. I won't do it at night because that would probably just blind them.

I get the occasional wave, but never get flashed. Both times it's been from fellow modded max's, though, and they weren't from my area.

I heard there is this gang initiation and if you flash them they chase you down and murderize you.

There was a big discussion a while back about how Jeep's have their wave, and some Maxima.org members wanted to get that going for us. In summary, they decided it would be hard to do since the majority of Maxima drivers think of them nothing more than the 4dr family sedan that they bought.

I used to appreciate people flashing me when there was a cop down the street, but it seems like nobody does it anymore...

Some gangs were doing that in Newark, NJ. I flash no one, for that very reason.

There isn't anyone for me to "flash"

There isn't another modded Max (other than rims and/or stereo) within 75 miles of me that I have seen. Mostly just people with plain-jane stock Maximas.

I even tried to tell a local guy with a 3rd gen to check out maxima.org just to help him fix his window regulator. I have never him post and he still has clear tape holding up his rear window
