I do not associate myself with the type of people who qualify for this thread.








You guys need to stop hanging out with retards.

 

couldn't be a little snail spooling down, could it?

 

Oh yea....V1 snail!

 

Anyone ever asked you if your car had t-tops?

 

the worst i gotten is "yoo you made your altima look just like the Maxima did you swap the rear end you even put the maxima letter on the trunk Nice altima" i simply turned around and walk away.

 

I was driving and passed one of my friend's dads on the road. Later that night, i was at his house and i asked him if he saw me. He said "yeah, i saw you driving your camry." I was not too pleased, and asked him to never call it a camry again

 

i have a max thats debadged, bodykitted,dropped, all outside has been altered, and due to my sponsers i do have vinyl on it, i usually get confused for a skyline(due to a skyline r33 kit) but most people say "what a cool altima, damn your sentra is tight, is that a 4door nissan240??" i swear i hear it alteast 3 times a week, usually while walking to my parked car in a parkinglot with people standing around it... BUT the dumbest thing ever was a NISSAN DEALERSHIP mechanical tech... we walk up to my car and were discussing mods on it, and i swear to god the guy bent down and said "wheres the mudflaps???"
as far as cosmetic mods, the first thing i removed was the 4x4 looking mudflaps!! anyway he was serious, he thought after putting on the kit and lowering it that i would have put back on the mudflaps!(i guess over, the sideskirts??) that would look awesome dude! (sarcasm)


oh yea. i LOVE the billy badass's in their mustang gt's who say "4 doors arnt sports cars" and then after smoking his v8 coupe with a 4door sedan, "wow that grocery getter can go" they always change their mind after a little taste!

 

Ive gotten the skyline comment when i rolled up to my old high school to pick up a friend. And ive also gotten is that your alternator thats bad. I said no why. The guy goes that noise. I said oooo no thats the supercharger. Guy had the dumbest look on his face when i said that.

 

you guys crack me up. Many of you spend money to put skyline tails, GT-R badges, body kits, etc and then you're surprised that people don't know what kind of car you have.

There are alot of cars out there, and Maximas are not exactly distinctive...the average joe isn't always going to know what it is.

oh, and the 6th gen from the side very much resembles the new altima...almost identical body profile, in my opinion. At my office garage a co-worker has an Alti SER and the next spot over belongs to a 6th gen. Every day I walk by the two cars and think about how similar they look from the side...

 

i had one guy call my car a stanza, i felt bad for the guy so I just walked away

 

My friend always asks "When are you gonna take it drifting?"

He watches too much Initial D...

When i got my max about 2 months ago, my neighbor criticized me for buying a new car (Its an 01) I guess its clean :P

 

I have a Estoril blue 99 BMW M3 with ground control coilovers, 18 inch fikse wheels UUC exhaust etc, awesome car, get compliments everywhere I go, anyway I was at a friends house and a GUY told me I had a "CUTE" car. That has to be the worst thing anyone has ever said to me... I havent had the Maxima long enough to get stupid questions. Maxima is 02 6spd Loaded Maroon on black leather

 

Estoril Blue!!! Awesome color, congrats on having a sweet car!

Oh and the people at the exhaust shop asled me if my car was made by Toyota....

 

"Hey d00d, that thing has vq right? That's the same thing as vtec right?"

"OMG THIS THING REALLY CAN BEAT MUSTANGS!"

"you don't rice it...you race it, and you can get 5 people to the rice race comfortably!"

"listen son, there's no way in hell that Camry is even gonna touch my Cummins."

-I've got so many man.

 

"Dude, that shifter looks like a *****..."

 

that's classic

 

haha, that is what my friend and i say about this ford sho that always is driving around near us.

 

"How much was this car, like $10,000?"

 

dan remember that cop, 35000 dollar sports car rofl

 

Oh yeah those have a hugeass shifter... sorta like my Scion xB

 

ive had "you know, all engines are really the same engine as dodge neons."
me- "really, BMW, Honda, Nissan?"
dumbass- "yep, all the same as a dodge neon, check it out"

HA

 

hahaha omg wow... lol

thats pretty good

 

Check out the shifter on the previous generation of Cadillac Seville STS....sure to make the panties wet.

 

"What kind of car is that??? Is it a honda?"

 

My friend: "I would totally race you, you'd kick my @ss though. But my dad's car would whoop you!"

Me: "What does he drive?"

Friend: "He has a 6 speed."

Me: "What do you think this car is?"

Friend: "What? This isn't a 6 speed, it's a Nissan!"

 

If someone in my car said that to me, I'd put it in fifth and say, "really? Hmmm... Well, check out what this thing does if you just slap it into reverse when you're moving forward!"

 

*while test driving my 02 max*

me: "hey, so do you know if this car has LSD?"
dude at dealer: "o .. you mean Low Suspension Design?"

and



talking to a friend about our maxima's...
i asked "so why didn't you get a manual?"
he replies, "yeah... i was thinking about the 7 speed... but my parents wouldn't let me"

 

i swear the other day a kid ( 15-17) asked me if it was a 7 clyinder. haahahaahaa.

 

Yea, i wonder why?,, teee teedi

 

I had Someone ask me, "Where did I get my neon lights from?" he was referring too my Hids..

 

This might be my favorite thread. Keep them comming...

 

not really a dumb question, but I thought it was pretty kewl anywayz:

I stopped at a red light couple weeks ago, my 97 SE is white outside, blk inside, manual, tinted windows, spoiler- perfect condition. what pulls up next to me, but a 2002 SE white outside, blk inside, manual, tinted windows, spoiler- same car as me but 02'... some older dood rolls down the window and is like "nice car man" and i'm like "yeah, you too, wanna trade", just messin with him and he goes, "bought one just like that when it was new, decided to upgrade when these came out".

then we both take off from the light kinda quick like and he PULLED ON ME!!!-old bastard...

oh well, hung alright considering my max is stock w/ 150,000 and 120lbs of stereo in the trunk.

anywayz, just thought it was funny...

One guy was checking out my car and said "damn you have a 5 speed in there? did you retrofit that from a honda or something?"

 

When me and sickmax were putting my new wheels on we noticed my tires were going to rub like crazy. My mom thought it was dangerous and I wouldn't be able to turn and get into a car accident.

 

If I ever find myself stuck in a traffic jam, watching some guy picking up pieces of his transmission, I'll know what happened.

 

that reminds me of a time that my car suddenly moved to Reverse (automatic) from Drive, while I was going about 5-10 mph (luckily). turns out the little safety lock that the car has to prevent that had broken . I suppose I hit the shifter when I went to change a station (still shouldn't have happened). needless to say my car made a loud scary clunk and shut itself off. That destroyed my torque converter (luckily not the tranny), but was able to limp home

 

Actually, guys, I was talking about how if the car was a 5-speed instead of a 6-speed, it'd have reverse where a 6-speed would have 6th. So, if a n00b tried to tell me that it couldn't have been a 6-speed, I would just prove him wrong by shifting out of 5th into what he clearly would think should be reverse, but was actually 6th.

Super lame joke, made worse by the explnanation. Pretend it never happened...

 

I have gotten many:

"that's a 4cylinder right?" ........
"Maxima? Why even bother modding that thing?"
"My 4cylinder VTEC pwns your boat with a 4cylinder" .... after this comment we rolled out and with a passenger in my car I proceeded to spank the '02 Civic Si repeatedly in my automatic.

Anytime I beat something I always get..."Dude that thing is quick. You gotta have either a turbo, supercharger, or nitrous!!" Just basic bolt-ons.

I spanked an Eclipse one time

Eclipse: Man that thing is fast. Turbo?
Me: No
Eclipse: Supercharger, or nitrous, or both???
Me: No, no, and no
Eclipse: Dude you gotta have one of the 3!!!
Me: Why's that?
Eclipse: Look at how big your car is, its gotta weigh at least 4000 lbs
Me: ........You'd be very surprised
Eclipse: Weight reductions?
Me: Just a few things thrown out that only weighed probably a pound or two at the most.
Eclipse: Open your trunk I want to see the bottle!
Me: What bottle, I don't have a bottle I already told you, no forced induction, no juice!
Eclipse: Well then how did you beat my 98 Eclipse GS, with intake, and an exhaust (really it was just a muffler)
Me: I don't know maybe its because I have 2 extra cylinders, the car weighs more like 3100 lbs, I have 4 doors, 5 gears, and well VQ POWER pwns you! (4 door part was just to kind of rub it in his face, family sedan beat him)
Eclipse: VQ Power? What the hell is that??
Me: Oh VQ, thats VTEC!
Eclipse: That explains it!!
Me: Pathetic ricer.

I left the parking lot after that. I get bashed by everybody in town that just flat out doesn't respect the Max.

I get guys sayin "My Probe GT will eat your Max alive"

Autozone guy. "I like your Nissan man......Altima??"
"No its a Maxima."
"Oh ya, thats right. If I wanted an import thats what I'd own"

Riiiiiiight. You didn't even know what the name of the car was.

I get dissed from the local import guys, but it is funny. I get more respect from the local domestics. A friend loves my car and he has nicely modded 99 Trans Am M6. His car just hands it to me everytime . Wish I had the muscle the V8s have.
