Tru Dat, Tru Dat

Hell especially true for me since I don't use that facebook junk. Now days, people lose their jobs using that site if something is posted on your space that is unfavorable to the company you work for

I will stick to the MAXIMA forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you're in a VQ when the cheapest way to reset your CEL is
to fill her up with premium (after using regular).

You know you drive a VQ when you'd rather spend spare cash on mods than
on replacing your windshield that has a 3 feet long crack (you refer
to this as not a priority).

You know you're driving a VQ35, when the driver of Integra with the "Type R swap" you just yanked on the freeway, looks at you incredilously when you say you only have an intake for a mod, and then to make him feel better, you say: "It's the same motor on the 350Z," and it does [make him feel better].

you know you're driving a VQ when you don't mind having 2 in a row, both automatic, and not give a damn about that.

You know you're driving a VQ, when your fenders are rusted, you steel rims are brown, but the ''tunned''(typo intended) civic besides you wanted to prove something, but you proved him that you have nothing to prove.

You know when you're driving a VQ, when you sit at a redlight and the guy in the Boxter besides you wants to impress you by revving his motor, and when YOU do it til redline and your intake screams ''I CANT HEAR YA!'', he looks at you with a ''WTF!?was that'' face !Hilarious!

oh oh oh check this one out!!--

-You know you're driving a VQ, when you're driving a VQ.-

HA!

You know you're driving a VQ when the time comes that you may have to replace the car in a few years and you know that more sensible choices are out there... but, after reading this entire thread, you know that in your heart you want to replace it with another VQ...

You know you're driving a VQ when you even like how the engine sounds with rusted exhaust.

You know you're driving a VQ when you don't remember what a timing belt is.

you know when you're driving a VQ when 190hp feels like 250hp.

You know when you're driving a VQ when you're sure your car's 0-60 is faster than advertised.

you know your driving a VQ when you have become an automotive expert of changing sensors during the first 3 months of owning it.

you know your driving a VQ when, you drive in that seat for hours on end, and still blip the throttle, just to scare that mustang.

you know your driving a VQ when (97) when you see your bosses 01 and laugh.

you know your driving a VQ when after pouring thousands into a 13 year old car, you go out and buy that bushing anyway.

you know your driving a VQ when your girlfriend gets her credit card number stolen because she bought your birthday present from an unsecured site, for your Maxima.

you know your driving a VQ when you can talk for hours comparing your mods during slow times at work with a guy with a built camero.

Meh, this might just be me:

You know you own a VQ when you sell your sports car because it can't hold it's own against it.

You know you own a VQ when all you can think about when you see that 300ZX is "Ya, but I make that power and haul 4 and a trunk full of groceries."

You know you own a VQ when you wished they made them RWD.

(edit)
.... When you argue with that posh 300ZXTT owner and he finally agrees the extra room would be nice

Read this after I replied...

My wife had to take my car since hers was out for paint and blamed her: almost hitting a median and driving the wrong way on a road... then getting pulled over... on my "dim headlights".

We are still fighting because she wont take it back.
