Hey everyone!

New to the forums, obviously. Nice setup, lots of useful information. Long story short i was struck by an unlicensed, underage drunk driver in april and it totaled my civic and put me on workmans comp. Been holding off looking for a jeep and last saturday i went to a dealer about 2 hours from me to see a wrangler and fell in love with a 98 maxima parked next to it. Shortly after test drove it, spoke directly to the original and only owner (45 year old single woman, no kids) and was given a copy of ALL the maintence records.

Needless to say, its my new baby. Very classy looking cars i think. Looks fairly average with a touch of style on the outside, and luxurious on the inside. Pretty nice on the gas pedal, too =] Same night i bought it i burned a ricer civic in wildwood lol.

So, thats how i ended up here : )

I never understood why guys with 4 bangers bothered racing guys with 6's... unless you've got a goodly amount of performance mods on it, the 6 will ultimately pull away.

Theres a factory with really good lighting thats abandned around the corner, hoping tonight i can go there for a shoot. heres hoping. Shines pretty good for dirty hehe.

Yea, thats what we all said.....then the mod bug strikes and your living paycheck to paycheck dreaming about a turbo kit and coilovers.

congrats on your Max.

no i wasnt lol. i always liked the altimas, but i had NO idea the kind of support/enthusiasm there is for these cars. I bought it, searched for whatever on it and got the org. This place is very helpful and welcoming, most forums dont get that. over the years i spent alot of time on nopistons.com and 3si.org for my other playtoys and its a totally diff vibe.
