well I guess it is kinda true but I had a parts guy at a dealership tell me my car is "out of date" but I kinda agreed with him cuz it is about to turn 24 so I just use it as a living rule that I will not date anyone younger then my car.

24 years? jebus! how many motors/ transmissions have you been through???
When my max got stolen, they took out my cd player *which was an aftermarket, but they didnt know* and they cut out my speakers, so when they looked up what my car orginally had and the repairs, the order to buy the BOSE system was 1800 dollars alone *not including the speakers* and then the work to put it back in brought it almost to 2500.. and my car was only worth 4900 to them ... so with all the other damages, the car was considered a total loss. So yeah, the BOSE system is actually worth half of the damn maxima, especially on the 4th gens.

Not really a comment, but I do drive a friend to school and the parking lot is pretty big. When leaving school, every time we pass by a parked altima he starts walking toward it thinking that its my max. ahh yes good times.

Got 3rd gen VG 5spd
These are couple years back but the best ever. Of course the 4cyl and it is cause I dont know what im talking about. Then the best ive had was a guy maybe 23 bought my older brothers 3.1 5spd beretta with 170hp at crank. Saying how bad he will beat me. But wouldnt race for some lame excuss unless he heard my car with bad wheel bearing or with busted cv joint. When fixed the car I went to talk and told him I would run them but he wouldn't cause my car made 300hp at the wheels from factory. Just ignored him and fed him some more ****. Talked about plans for boosting. Next day he wanted to race me cause he went home and researched and said maximas with 17psi only run 14.7 in the quarter.....I told him to race a buddys 3.4 s10 first or its not worth my time. He lost by 7 cars in a 1/4(it was a pos beretta) Was running 14.9 at the time wish could find him now with 15psi.
Another good one. Hanging out with bunch of friends and a guy with 92 integra B18. Claims has a race head.
Him: 5spd huh?
Me: ya
Him: can I drive it
Me: NO!
Him: I can teach you how to drive
Me: I learned to drive a stick in 3rd grade that was what 7 years ago.
Him: drives off slipping the clutch and grinding gears trying to show off.
Raced him from a roll. He pulled a ricer fly by me doing about 45 just turning on to highway and kept on going. I droped it down to 2nd and flew by him in no time at all. Him: You are suppose to race from a stop you dumba$$. Then he went around braging about how he beat the max in nebraska city. (Big rummors that I have like 5k in motor.)

I'm so tired of non-car people saying my 7th gen looks like a Lexus. Why must an automotive compliment pay homage to another manufacturer's creation? It would be one thing if they said that it really resembles an ES or a 5 series and it's really cool, etc. If the only compliment they have is that resembles another car, they shouldn't say anything.
Besides it looks more like an Infiniti than anything, shouldn't it?

I've been braggin about it to a couple of my friends. I was looking in Calebs' magazine and I was like, "Sweet, 09 Maxima review." So I showed them.
Caleb - "Dude... at first I thought it was a Volvo."
Ryan - "Woah omg me too."
Me - "Stoo fuu, you a-holes"
Them - "No seriously!"
Me - "What ever."
I like it. I have yet to see it in person though!!!!!!!!!

my uncle always asked me why i spend money on my car. he thinks his STOCK 2005 altima will beat my 97 maxima. when i tell him i will spank him and i'm ready to go now for $500, he says "you have a 1990-what? a 1990-what? a 1990-what?"
If he's got a VQ35, he probably can, unless you have a lot of mods.
I painted through out college in the summers and during breaks.....
I bought my '99 maxima in the summer before my senior year, and my bosses friend bought a V10 viper not to long before I bought mine. The conversation went something like this.....
me: Your friend's viper is sweet!
boss: How does it compare to your car dude?
me: The viper would blow me away!.....
boss: His car is fast than yours dude??!?!?!!!!
me: You gotta be ****tin' me
He was dead serious too.
Another story unrelated to maximas.
boss: I bought a new truck dude.
me: what kind of truck
boss: a ford.
me: what kind of ford?
boss: I dont know......the square one?
again..... and yes, every other word out of his mouth was "dude".

Haha I've had someone walk up to me while I was filling gas and say
"Hey man, is your car white?"
And I thought he was kidding so I said
"No?"
And he just said "Oh okay" and walked away..............

My car was parked in the lot of the apartment where I was living at the time. The hood was up and I was looking in the engine bay.
Some guy drives by in a 4th gen and goes: "Is that a maximum?" I reply in the affirmative and he goes: "Damn them maximums."

a guy when i got my last oil change didnt believe that my 92 was still on its original engine and transmission
another one was back in highschool i still had the 92 and a guy in a 96 VW golf didnt think a 92 V6 maxima was faster than a 4cyl golf. long story short maxima>golf

The worst one i got was from my friend, who knows nothing about cars.
I was still in the break in period, so i wouldnt take it over 4000rpm. I accelerated, and she goes "it sounds like my dad's malibu"...thanks CVT
That one really hurt, but I have since showed her using the paddles
From people in the same course as me
"you actually wanted that car??? *laughing*"
They have civics and such. Well they don't know what they are missing.
And after saying I was going to do some mods on it,
"That car is too old, too slow, and too ugly, get a civic or something"
People usually change their minds when getting in the car with me. They are amazed at everything I have which they don't. And that being my car is 16 years old.
