Yeah, the steelies are for my winter tires. I have my 17s in my attic at the moment. The coathanger is my GAB mod. Guess they don't see it too often. I thought it was kind of funny.

 

haha maan doesnt it just kill you when people are like, I like this, whats it an altima?? thats like walkin up to kobe bryant and calling him shaq...i just wanna go

 

I went to a shop to have my oil changed. The mechanic comes back in to the waiting room and says:

HIM: Do you own the Altima?
Me: Yes.
HIM: It's suped up nice.
Me: Uh.. thanks.

I've never.. ever.. heard any one call my car "suped up" so I found it funny. Lol.

My automatic Altima had a debadged rear and I would constantly get asked if it was a Maxima. I usually tell them the Altima is the unwanted love child between a Sentra and a 350Z. The Maxima wasn't involved in any way.

I went to go have my NITTO 555Rs mounted on my 16" steelies at Discount Tire. The guy installing them asks "What are these for?" I tell him that they're for the Altima outside. His eyes go all wide and I couldn't believe how surprised he looked. Asks "What do you have done?" I just say.. "Enough." Then as we're putting the tires/wheels in the trunk, he gives the car a quick walk around and notes that it's a 3.5 and mentions something about torque and power and what-not. Not really anything funny.. just found his reaction interesting.

 

Havnt had the Max long enough for anything yet but when i had my 03 Tib i had some redneck ask if it was the new Mustang lol.

 

Today i finally decided to tell someone about my nitrous install, and by golly the first words out of his mouth were "Dude your such an idiot, your going to blow your engine" and then went on to say "You gotta go to the illegal races, no one uses NOS there" (drives a '02 RSX type S)

I just looked down, smiled, and went back to studying for my test i had in an hour.

Then at lunch i was sitting in the parking lot at school while studying and 4 more kids came to my car and asked about my nitrous, one being my rich a$$ friend who drives a new '07 civic Si (motegi rims and I/E) saying "Dude your going to blow the engine on that 16 yr old POS" i responded saying "no i wont" but then decided it wasnt worth arguing about...

Then another kid checking out my nitrous says "This is sick but why would you do this to this ****ty car?" and loud enough that i could hear him

I hate rich b|tchs who think they know everything and hate on old stuff like my car... it just bugs the hell out of me, GOD DAMN RICH HIGHSCHOOLERS WHOS PARENTS GIVE THEM EVERYTHING...

Today made me so mad i went home after baseball practice and wash/waxed my car so its really shiney now ^_^

I REALLY needed to vent...

haha i know what you mean, the other day i saw an old friend of mine and told him i beat bmws all the time. he told me to stop lying. then i saw him on the road today and we lined up a light. he was like lets race. hahaha. i said alright you lose. whooped him. I go to jackson high man. Im sure I see same stuff you do.

 

While at the dealership have recall work done, I decided to browse through the showroom. I started talking to one salesman, who apparently hadn't done his homework and studied these cars. I asked him about numbers on these cars and how they lined up with competitors. He told me that the Mistubishi's are closest competitors. Specifically the Eclipse (this was at the end of 06). I corrected him and told him that they aren't that fast. He procedded to tell me that they would clean a Maxima. "Yeah right with 265 hp and 255 ft lbs of torque?".....To which he replied....."What Maxima is putting out that much....?" I told him to go pick any Max he had out there on the lot.....

I had to show him online, in a brochure, and even looking at the window sticker, our numbers.......Perhaps he should stick to selling the sentras

 

haha I did not had any stupid comments yet but I had stuff happened to me twice. I was in the car talking to my phone and I hear some grandpa is trying to open the trunk and I'm like wtf? and he was shocked for a moment and says :mmmmeeehhh sorry your car looks like exactly as mine and I see same color maxima few cars away lol... He prob didn't see the diff that my windows were tinted haha

 

It's really funny, salesmen seem to be the least informed about the cars they sell. Every time I go to a Nissan dealership, the salesperson talks about rice ships like there is no tomorrow, and says at least one stupid (and I mean STUPID) thing about a Maxima; it's a 4 cylinder, it's AWD, they don't come in manual, etc. . Then, when I was looking to buy a Maxima, I checked a few of them out, and I finally found a salesman who knew EVERYTHING about Maximas, and his knowledge was flawless. The punchline is, I bought this car from a FORD dealership .

 

but I had to post it anyway:



That's an Elantra by the way, a buddy's car, and he has been asked more than once what kind of Lexus that is.

 

But now I have to ask... Did he do that just to see what would happen....?

 

I let someone drive it and they called it fast

 

Hey, my dad thinks my car's fast... and he normally drives a 5.0 V8 in a cadillac deville

 

I Was on the side of the road and a Texas State trooper stopped and asked if I was OK. We spoke for a few minutes and he thought it was a Mercedes. I was like really.... What kind? He said that he did not know they all looked the same to him.

 

"Theres your sign!"

 

It was my idea, he always says he wants a Lexus, so I bought the badge on ebay and gave it to him, Here's your Lexus!

 

Yeah ive had that happen i had this guy in a camry decided too flip his brights on so i just kept driving when i got a little closer i flipped my brights on and he swerved..

 

Im sorry i would of started cracking up...

 

A customer of ours said "is that a Mercedes?"

 

The dumbest question i get is "can i drive it"? no you can't drive it!

 

I had a friend in my car for the first time, she was in the back seat. After I did a spirited run to a merger, she asked if she could drive my car (she drives a corolla, wanted to see what it was like driving something with more "pep", as she put it). Reluctantly, and because my soon-to-be wife started in on me, I decided I would let her give it a supervised run around the block. When we got back to my apartment, I got in the passenger seat, kicked the fiancee to the back seat, and our friend got in the driver seat. I reminded her that this car was my first born child, and asked her to please be careful.

She stared blankly at it for a minute, and asked what kind of car it was again. I told her it was a Nissan Maxima, and she asked "Is that Japanese?". I said yes, and she said "On second thought, I don't think I can drive Japanese cars." Now I had a feeling I knew where this was going... I resisted the urge to tell her that she drove a Japanese car on a daily basis, and I just asked "why?"

sure enough: "because they have three pedals, and I have no idea where 'drive' is..."


I told her they don't have "drive", they have "ride", and it's in the backseat.

 

FTMFW.

This might be one of the best things ever said in this forum.

 

That was awesome. Surefire way to keep her from driving your ride!

 

Did she go check the backseat?

 

Holy crap......! Fing hilarious!!!

 

im stealing this for my sig... man that was to funny

 

skunnnnnnnnnt budddddayyyyyy

 

I love the dealership stories the most. You'd think they'd know better.

 

"dude, is that a performance exhaust?" He said it in the most cheesy, used car salesman voice ever. Not a big deal but then he tried to get me into one of those Amway pyramid schemes. I should have seen it coming.

 

"You need to stop messing with this car so much. You've taken a Toyota, and turned it into a Nissan" -Grandpa
"um.. it's definitely a Nissan from day one.." -Me

he was just kidding about the toyota part, but it seems the older the person is, the more they tell me not to put another dollar into my car.

 

That would have been more hilarious if he was serious.

The reason old people say that is because they're on fixed incomes and have to pick between eating or paying for their pills....or they're just smart enough to realize that cars are black hole money traps.

 

well they have been on this earth a lot longer than us...

 

Wow, is that an '06 model?

 

soooo i went to the track about 2 weeks ago...
i still have my numbers on my car

The dumbest comment someone said to me about my Standard Spoiler, "whoa is that a BOOMERANG"? I was like rolling my eyes and laughed

 

"No one puts chrome wheels on their maximas anymore"- 2 or 3 prags from maxima.org

"Yoooo ya camry is off the hook man!!! i didnt know they made a new body style! When'd u get it and what dealership did u go to?"- kid in the parking garage @ CCSU

some old school professor: "Nice ride".
Me: thanks
Prof : "My wife just bought an 06' coupe maxima and the thing flies"

Why is it so hard to read the badging on vehicles let alone the EMBLEMS???

 

I took off my eblems:-p , and mine is a 94 and square. people have no idea what my car is:

 

Nice Altima from an Autozone mechanic.
