mine was "what kind of car is that?" and "did that bodykit come stock?" and "is that a stock paint job?" oh and one more thing from some stupid a$$ HONDA owner, "got VTEC in there?"

 

you're bashin em, but it seems youre now one of em..

 

are you talking about rice?

 

I have been asked a couple of times if it is an altima but I have actally had people ask if it is a honda. Just some really stupid people. My car isn't ricy or anything. It is lowered with a stillen lip thats it for exterior.

 

yeah, I got this one yesterday:

"I'd never drive something like that. I need a V6."

 

oh man, probably the best one yet, unless the guard was colorblind.

oh, but they are all still funny, and even if you havent modded your car that much im sure someone has gotten a comment about it.

 

Yeah, because a car the size of a 5th gen Maxima clearly would have a 4-cylinder...

Never overestimate people.

 

From a tech guy after asking him a question about my car. He says.... Thats not a double overhead cam, its a single. Mind you he has one with the hood up in the bay. I tell him no and that he's wrong and he was really into thinking it was a single over head cam vehicle. Its sad I had to school a tech guy on a car that he was just working on in the bay area. He wasnt from Nissan... lol. Thank God.

I have heard the questions of it being a 4 cyl though. I hate it too. I tell them what made them think this car had a 4 cyl in it. My 88 maxima even had a 6 cyl.

Well, I was explaining the thread to my Fiance and she just asked me Well, what is it a 4 or a 6? Im going to have to go back to the drawing board with her and schoolings of the Maxima. I guess she has lost her peak knowledge. I think the peak was about 1 1/2 year ago. I had her knowing all Maximas and knowing which ones were SE's GLE's and GXE's as we would be driving.

 

Oh another one when I had my 88 maxima. Years ago when I worked at Chick-Fil-A before college. A lady co-worker asked me what kind of car is that, it looks nice. My dad had a BOSS adhesive plate on the back and underneath it said "Its who I am". The lady goes Nice Nissan BOSS. I told her it was Maxima many times and to this day she still asks me hows my Nissan Boss holding up.

 

My ex tells me my rear spoiler look like a boomerang. LOL

 

ive gotten the

"i thought that was a 4 cyl"

guy in an ALTIMA "what is that?"
me "a maxima"
guy "that thing is fast"
me "its stock man lol"
guy " woah!"

because of my VTC
guys at the track "you need to check your oil!!!"
me "its VTC!"
guys "what?"
me "VTC!!! it advanced my timing..." screw it im not explaining it to them...


guy at auto Blown "you have drums... in the rear"
me "no i dont... 4 wheel disk brakes"
guy "you have drums"
me "no i dont man"
guy "lets go see then"
walk out, checks
me "you find disks?..."
guy "wow... you do have disks"
*OWNED!*

lol thats in a year...

 

I had a pretty nice argument about having 4 cams.
"Your car is sagging" random kid at kroger. (its lowered)
"your emblems seemed to fall off" same kid at a different kroger about 2 weeks later.

 

lady at jack in the box drive through window
"Is this a mercedez?" ??????

wow, and i got mad at people for saying altima instead of maxima

 

A guy at a stop light next to me was like "nice lincoln kid...."

"ITS NOT A DAMN LINCOLN! It's an Infiniti" i said

 

I just got the "Is that a Honda?" today....

 

Some people have said, "nice camry." Others have said, "is that a 4 cylinder?" One guy with a stockish integra gsr laughed at me when I asked him if he wanted to race....I said, "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?"

 

This one kid at my school drives his mom's 2005 Toyota Prius and he said that it could beat my 93 Maxima GXE. I made a bet with him, we raced, and I went home $20 richer. I don't know which is funnier, the part where he said that his Prius could own a Maxima or when he said "I'm gonna do a dry run so I can charge up my batteries." That's not a joke, he actually said that and I was laughing for an hour.

 

i think thats the funny part ahahaha

 

stupidiest comments ive received from others:

1. is that thing a 4 cylinder?
2. My 91 240sx would smoke that thing (automatic and stock)
3. Why would you spend money on a maxima? my answer = because i can
4. hey man, i saw you doing burnouts in your altima at lunch (first off how does a 4 gen resemble an altima?

i think the funniest one was from a mustang owner. he had a mid 90's 4.6 V8 yellow mustang, this is what he said to me at the next traffic light after i raced him:

mustang:hey man that thing is pretty quick what do you have done to it?
me: intake, ypipe and exhaust.
mustang: thats bs theres no way a maxima is beating a mustang with those mods, that thing must be turboed or running nitrous.
me: ummmm no i told you what it has, you got beat by a slightly modded maxima. i drove away after that.

 

My personal fave is: "hey my brother got the new one... Yeah I think he got the 2.5 you said you had the 6-cylinder right."
My next to fave: "Your Maxima is nice I got an older model but I only got the 4 cylinder 5-speed."
Worse part about the last one is they actually had a fourth gen Maxima not an Altima and They bought new which means they had the car for 10 years plus with no indication about whats under the hood.
My third favorite: "Why do you need the 6-cylinder? What are you going to do with all that power anyway?"

 

I guess I could be the dumbass here with this one. I was at the carwash waiting for them to call when the car was done. I waited 35 minutes for them to wash when it should take 10 minutes... carwash " black cadillac, ready"

 

LMAO ROFL!!!! ....cadillac....

 

Hey that just tells us how classy the Max has become in recent years.

 

Mine wasn't really dumb, just a compliment by a non-knowing couple.

I was out front of Best Buy in loading/unloading because I was doing just that.
A middle aged couple walks up and she says to him "what a nice car". He asks me about it, and of course, being the typical Max Enthusiast, I rave about our cars.

They loved it. I truely believe that will be their next car!

I have been asked a couple of times about my "Altima" also. I just smile and correct them. And think to myself ("Better than an Altima"...IMO anyway).

 

Hmm...this would be at Pep Boys while shopping for motor oil. The guy who worked there stopped me for a sec...

Dude: What is that? A Hon-duh?
Me: Um no it's a Nissan Maxima
Dude: Well Hon-dus are better. They last longer. You running a vtec?
Me: No. *walks away*

Um...yeah I'd never run a vtec thanks.


Next Scenario!

Just got my exhaust done. Catback Was at IHOP, and started the car up.

Dude: Damn that sounds nice! What is that a V8?
Me: Nah V6, but still runs with em!

Time to do a V8 6.0L VQ60 swap!

 

My mom always mistakes my car for a BMW at night because of my HID's. I kinda like being mistaken for a BMW. Then last week when I was getting my cattman exhaust installed at a muffler shop another customer comes up to me and says "you installing one of those farty mufflers on your honda?" I laugh and said no its a nissan maxima and it won't sound anything close to a farty civic. He stuck around long enough to hear it and was impressed enough to want a cattman on his Tundra but I told him cattman specializes in maxima's and I30's only lol. Damn cattman rocks even the muffler shop was impressed with how it was designed and fit the car!

 

just bored at work and figured id post =) plus all your comments are so funny.. well ive had the 4 or 6 cylinder question a few times.. but not much more.. other than that ive had civic and integras with just exhaust/intake laught at me at the track before id race them.. and all i had was a y-pipe at the time.. they laughed and ran a 17 sec run and i laughed back later when i ran a 15.2 or 15.3 also raced a 93 NA mr2 with my grandmas 98 v6 camry and he thought it was funny too till he got beat by it =) its nice to have sedans that ppl THINK are slow but have a nice engine in it. maxima > civics

 

By Irish:

"6th gens = one of the ugliest cars ever made by Nissan, apart from the new Sentra."

Nothing but love Irish! This one is back at you!

 

Truer words have never been spoken

 

take it back about the maxima...the 1st ugliest nissan ever is the new Sentra ONLY lol looks like a cross between a saturn and a prius

 

Fear what you don't understand....... j/k

I love my Max, regardless of what others think! As many as I see on the road, there are quite a few others out there that agree.

Nothing but love for the Max. It's the other gens bashing it.....hmm.....intimidation maybe?

 

ofcourse everyone HAS to know that the 3rd gens were the best looking

 

Thats nice but there is no getting around it; that s**t is still ugly but atleast she has tons of personality right? Besides why would we all be intimidated by our ill conceived "younger" sibling anyway. Hail 3 gens long live 5th gens.

 

"My taurus has a nice kick... wanna race?"

After burning him "Dude your car is godlike..." haha

----

When people ask me If I drive an altima... I just say no.. Its a maxima.. basically the Altimas older brother... lol

 

"Dude, why drive a maxima when you can FLY a civic?"

 

I Live In West Palm Florida Where They Put Oversized Rims On Anything Moving. Anyways I Was At The Mall With My Homegirl And She Was Like Jay Your New Car Is Nice Whats Is It A New Model Caprice Or Somethin, And I Think You Should Put 22's On It, It Will Be So Prity Jay. In My Mind I Was Thinking Gosh 22's She Has Some Dreams For Her Next Car.
