How old are you?? If you are so superficial as to say chicks are dumb and dig your car more, give yourself a shake.

People who knows cars are able to praise other cars, just like people with character can speak highly of other people. I chose the car I have because it fits my wants and needs. To a lesser degree, people can choose Nike vs NB vs Reebok. That doesn't mean "the road not taken" is a bad one. I don't speak lowly of Hyundai's, domestics, etc. They are just not for me.

As for class, if you need some "material things" so people will look at you, perhaps there is some self-worth issues. You are what you are because of dignity, integrity. If you need to spend $$ to make people respect you, get better service, etc, hmm...

You don't BUY class. You learn and choose to be and act classy.
Having said that, would you think it is feasible to buy a ROLOLEX and try to impress some 'chick' with what you have rather than who you are?

Nice reply boss.

Here at Maxima.org we clearly have a different mentality, though.

I could have bought a TL or a CL if I wanted to. Cost wasn't an issue - I could afford it. But you know what? I already have a chick and she's great - couldn't ask for a better girl, and she loves me for who I am, not for the car I drive. I have a self-esteem and don't need a luxury brand car to feel better about myself. I have self-confidence and don't need a logo on my hood to make a statement about me because I can do it myself. And I don't need a "luxury brand" car to attract chicks because I can do it myself. And the kind of chicks that are so shallow that they would be with a guy just for his car are not the kind of girls I'd want to attract anyways...

Now they're just attacking it on all other fronts because...

They have no self-esteem.
They have no self-confidence.
They live their life through their car.
Their ex-gf is now with a guy with a Maxima.

So of course they need to bash the Maxima to feel better about themselves.

At least they admit the Maxima is fast!

Thanks for the link, but I'm not even going to bother clicking on it. They're not worth my time. If they come over here though, you know what's gonna happen.
