Nice Altima you got there. Are those 24s?

 

I picked up this teenager on the side of the highway because he ran out of gas in his like 2006 GTI, he just bought it. I didnt know the kid but thought he had a flat tire so i stopped to help him but I drove him to the gas station to get some gas. we get off the highway and he asks if this car had a VTEC in it...

 

what type of bodykit u got on your eclipse?? it looks hot!

me: Thanks, but this is a 3000gt.

 

ummm, you need to take out them bumper lights.....

me: what idiots

 

People always call my FJ-40 a nice Jeep .

 

That is just priceless!

 

Uhh there 22''......

 

"Maximas are slow"

"Thanks for the Update"

 

i had a sales guy at the nissan dealership here in omaha tell me that i got ripped off because the 20th AE came out in 02, not 01. and kept telling me that it was a knock off and that it was not worth as much as i thought it was...

 

"Man, why'd you buy that thing? That's an old man's car! You shoul've bought something that's going to last, like a jeep!" - Friend from work (drives a 5.7L hemi jeep)


Dont get me wrong, I like jeeps, (older ones) but he was trying to tell me that his jeep will last longer than my VQ, good luck.

This is also the same guy that got to eat some humble pie when he found out that my "little V6" is faster that his "mans V8, 5.7L Hemi!" priceless. It's funny, he hasn't made any more comments about my car lol

 

hmm the VQ doesn't have hemispherical combustion cambers?

 

We bought my 2002 6spd LSD Maxima a few weeks ago. I was out of town so my dad found and bought the car.

When he found it he made the dealer call me to make sure it was the right car.

Dealer: Well I have a really clean 2002 Maxima it's loaded with leather, bose, sunroof and a 5-speed.
Me: That sounds perfect, but dont you mean a 6-speed.
Dealer: No, it is only a 5-speed they didn't make 6-speed Maximas.
Me: Ok, whatever. (I knew it was a 6-speed, but didn't want to argue)

Later when my dad was at the dealer I called him when he was finalizing the sale.

Me: Dad does it have LSD?
Dad: (asking dealer) do you know if the car has LSD?
Dealer: Uh... i don't know let me find out.
3-min later
Dealer: No.. you only find LSD on big trucks and high end sports cars.
Me: (to dad) Whatever it was an option I will find out when I get home.

 

Huh? I wasnt saying that lol, because to be honest, I dont know. I thought that technology was outdated, but still has a cult following among the older-car crowd. Maybe it does, but my point was that he hated on me for having a 6 cylinder, and he had some humble pie (literally, read in weekend battles).

Does the VQ have hemispherical combustion chambers?

 

If you guys want a good laugh check out these Subaru threads. It is basically the same thing about morons and idiots and what they say and ask.

Are those factory steel wheels with hub caps.

 

Luckily, I guess... I haven't had anyone say anything too out there to me. Most people just compliment.

 

My friend says
Nice Old ladies car!!

 

When i first bought my car, my father was in jail ready to get deported over sum little misdemeanor thing 15 years ago! but he use to call me and i would tell him about my new car and how wonderful it is lol he use to say my car is a girls whip and the back of the maximas look retarded blah blah blah just bcus he has an American muscle '79 Pontiac Trans Am with a Olds 455 swap with manifold, headers, carbs, and tranny done (great car tho).. he's home now (thank god) and after my mods of cf hood, smoked headlights and fogs, tint, stillen lip kit, and other creature comforts he says to me, one day while i was sitting in front of my car admiring it, "i like your car, it looks realy nice, i want one too now" LOL LOL old people now-a-days LOL LOL gotta love my dad tho

 

People always call my shiz and Altima. (not that it matters)

 

Used to get that a lot driving an 18-wheeler. The lights are up at eye level for most cars, making them seem brighter. I'd get hi-beams flashed at me a dozen times a night. Response: "No, THESE (interstate is briefly illuminated like dawn) are my hi-beams".

 

Yea, people flashing are annoying.

 

yay for properly aimed 3000k hids with projectors. Havent been flashed 1 time. and ive had them for months

 

Guy at a gas station two weeks ago: "Is that a Police Interceptor?"
Me: "Yes"
guy: "Does it have a HEMI?"
Me: "No, it's a Ford."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few years ago I owned a 2nd gen Max for a couple of months. I was constantly getting asked about my "Camry".

 

Pwnt.


P.S. Respect to you for driving an 18-wheeler.

 

the best one that ive ever gotten was my neighbore cam over just to tell me that his 2000 condorde was better than my 98 maxima just because it was made 2 years earlier. the best part is he had only driven his car 3 times and on the 4th time he totaled it into a truck!

 

tenchar...why won't it let me post!

 

My favorite......."why did you buy that, you could've gotten a mustang, or a tricked out civic for the same price".......some people just dont get it. I guess they have never driven a Max before. I fell in love when I was 18 and worked at a Nissan dealer. Gotta love a 5-speed Max!

 

lol freeway, i just saw your painted your tail lights red lol. I did mine couple weeks ago. Looks good to me. I painted my front ones too. I know they are illegal but oh well. I'll leave them on for a while.


Anyways the funniest comment I got was this kid in a 95 altima telling me "i should get a body kit; it would make my car go faster"

HHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

FAWK, I'D CORRECT THEM IN A HEART BEAT.

 

haha.
Today when I went to a car paint place the guy asked me if I had a honda........................
ugh
I was like, "ugh, its a Nissan Maxima"

 

I hate that, never got it but some people just amaze me.

 

Never got a Honda comment but I got 'Camry' with the 2nd and 3rd gens I owned a LOT. I would think reading the emblems on the front, back, and sides (on the 2nd gen) would clue people in.

 

Cars with a lot of visible (or audible) mods are great for unending inane observations. I don't mind simple questions, heck that gives me a chance to show off. It's when I get stuff like: "Is that stock?" (old T-Bird with a larger engine and announcing the bigger motor through dual cherry bombs--sigh, I miss that car). Getting asked if my Ford or GM product has a HEMI is up there on the dumb scale as well.

 

"You really should get a couple blow off valves, they sound cool!" -local white trash.

runner up-

"Those wrx tail lights look ill on your honda accord."

 

I just bought an 01 GLE on Monday, and sent some pictures to my dad. He had no idea I was buying a car, and I didn't put anything in the email besides pictures.
He calls me at work, freaking out, asking "Did you get a raise? Did you get a promotion? Are you selling drugs? How can you afford a BMW???"

I got a good kick out of that. I had to enlighten him that no, I'm not selling drugs, and no, I didn't get a raise or a promotion....and its a Maxima lol.

 

I've seen co-workers argue over and over because they think I have a maxima. I dont know how many times my car has become the topic of conversation after lunch. When two people storm up to me, its always the same question, "you drive a maxima right?"

 

With a previous max, I had a stillen filter which made a lot of circulating noise...i guess because it was so big. As I sit idle, others come by saying, "yo, you got turbo, I can hear it.", I just laugh, rev for them and they still dont want to believe it."

 

Outstanding!

 

Eva had somebody try to tell you how to mod your car? so last night i was goin out for bowling and laser tag, so i rolled by the front entrance before i parked, these guys came over to see who i was and check out the car, and one was like oh **** LOL so i get out and they are all admiring, "is that an altima or maxima??" i say Maxima. "I see u got it dropped an inch or so, what kinda mods u got". i tell them and one of em is like dude get a CAI its better." so i was like no the intake got now is fine (Berk), so its fast enough. and one other guy was like, "if it cant move 9 seconds down the track, then thats not fast and laughs" so im like ahehe like he even owns a 16 second car probably. how many 9 second cars do you see daily driven duma$$ in my mind. so i continue to go inside

 

"man, that's a grandma car" said by a guy with a early-80s supra, to that I responded "at least it's not older than my grandma"

i was getting my oil changed, I have an intake and a powdercoated valve cover
"Hey! you got a new engine in there!?"
