Decided to keep my Maxima after all
OK. My wife gave me the OK to spend a little $$ so I decided to put my 98 SE 5-speed up for sale and shop for a new vehicle. I drove 3 new trucks (Ram 1500, Dakota 4.7 5-speed, Tundra TRD) and 3 new cars (WRX wagon, 2K2 Maxima 6-speed, 2K2 Passat) and after 2 weeks of contemplating I just can't justify spending close to 14K on top of my car to replace it. My car runs perfectly fine and only the Dakota (it would be nice to have a truck) and the new Maxima (the car is awesome) came close to making me switch. I think I'll slap on a supercharger on my car and that will keep me happy for a few more years.

Does your wife have a sister? Letting you spend $14k on a new car you don't need and calling it a 'little money' is my kinda woman! I'm lucky my wife is letting me get a new stereo for my car this year for Christmas.
Seriously, after modding my car as much as I have, I can't think of another car (or truck) that I would want more. I'm sure you'll feel the same way. Go for the SC but be careful. I'd suggest getting a used V1 kit if you can. I have one, so maybe I'm biased...but with good reason.
