Look guys idc what he drives, im just here having some fun. I thought it was funny how you guys turned on your own maxima buddy just bcs he doesnt like his maxima or find making a late 90s hand me down maxima into a semi fast car with painted stock G/Z wheels lowered on some cheapo springs. A civic can be easily made to run with a stock C6 Z06 or GTR in a straight line, but it will always be a civic.

And rays lightweight wheels = Volks

Well, if he hadn't come on here looking to troll, we wouldn't have started anything. That's like walking into a police station and yelling, "I've got a gun," and expecting nothing to happen.

Voicing your opinion, and making fun of people for their opinions are two completely different things. Just because he doesn't like that we like the Maxima doesn't mean he has to start a battle. If he doesn't like the Maxima, move on. Find a Z forum to go complain on.

The point I've been trying to make is that we don't give a **** if your parents are made of money, buy you nice things, etc. 99% of the guys on this forum work hard for what they've got, and they're proud of/happy with what they have. They don't need to flash their money to prove anything. Doing that just shows how insecure you are with yourself. Especially if you feel the need to do it online.

FWIW, 20" Volks are definitely way heavier than 18" Rays forged...

HAHA, i've had a lot of reading since last comment I posted.
LOL, might be a noob fight but a few things about me.
- I don't know my maxima inside out yet, but I intend to do so with a passion, for a car i've been looking for so long to get my hands on.
- I learned money doesn't grow off trees. Hard work makes me proud of what I accomplish and what I make with MY money. Started work at 15 years old at the grocery store and since then i've paid 99% of what I own today.
- I had to pay half my private school with my parents when I got a job.
- ALWAYS paid for my own cars.
- I dislike common cars, Beeing an underdog, the maxima stays underground and low-profile to cops. 4DSC FTW
- I look forward to acquiring the knowledge you want to share in this community.
- My wife, 22 weeks pregnant, LOVES my maxima. She liked my 93 Suzuki swift GT but fell in love the maxima.
- I also love my car ! She even has a name (Noémie) and I talk to her like it's a baby... the wife even gets jealous sometimes. LOL

But I guess you don't understand that because you had your dad by you a 350Z instead of an actual car.
so when your maxima beats a ferrari, the owner will have what face? He could of bought about 60 maximas. The only face he should have is a smiling face on why you would get off to beating a nicer car.

So basically maxima.org's thought process.... 10 second geo metro > Ferrari Enzo. lol.

You don't own a Ferrari. You own a 350z. This is a moot point.

Neither of these trolls own a car.

One guy's dad owns a Maxima and a 350Z. The other guy's dad owns a M3.

You own them? Show a pic of your driver's license next to the car's title, with your name on both of them. With DOB and vehicle make/model. Blur out the VIN, address, etc for security reasons, but I'm very curious to see if you actually own the vehicle you are bragging about, or if a parent owns it and you just drive it.

ok so that wasn't good enough so now i have to post up pics of my license and registration. LIke i proved to you guys earlier, i own my own car. you guys put "mommy and daddy" in there. I never once said my parents bought me anything. I said the maxima was a hand me down car.

like i proved to you guys earlier, i have a Z. I dont want ot post pics of my license because it will show my face. i don't want photochops. But what i can do is meet up with a local maxima perosn and they can confirm my info. How about that?

If the second quote is true, then your parents paid for the car, then gave it to you. This would mean that the first quote is false.

If the first quote is true, then you paid for the car yourself. This would mean that the second quote is false.

One of those quotes is false. Somebody paid for the car. Nissan didn't just show up at your house one day and give you a free Maxima. Either you paid for it, or your parents paid for it. It may not have been bought and given to you immediately like the other guy's M3 was, but it was still bought by your parents, and driven by you.

There's nothing wrong with being given a car by your parents. I was. My dad bought my '97 brand new, then got a new car in 2006, and I've been driving the Maxima since then. Do I claim to have the fastest car around? No. Do I expect to have a better car than a 97 Maxima once I can afford one? Yup. But, regardless of the value of the cars discussed on this forum, there is something to be said for the community here. I've split hotel room bills with members at distant meets. I've grilled up some burgers in the park with other members. I've had members help me install my "cheap springs", and I've helped members work on their cars. I've had members scrambling around my engine bay in a dark parking lot to fix my car. I've lent a $500 part to another member for a week to try it out. I've had people on here teach me a lot of info about cars, and I've taught newer members a lot of info as well. It's a close community here, it's a friendly community here, and you're a fool if you ignore that just to make fun of people and troll the forums to start flame wars.

Your 5.5gen might be a slow car now, but there are plenty of inexpensive things you can do to it. There's a <$1,000 upgrade that will take a full second off your quarter mile time, that you probably haven't heard about. There's probably a member within an hour's drive of you who could install it for you for less than half of what a shop would. But if you close your eyes and just spew hate, you'll miss that information.

i have to agree with nalc though, there are lots of nice people on here. JSMax is actually willing to meet up with me at the Nissan dealership to get my 10% off of any work needing to be done, which works because i need to get my timing belt done later this year. Phatmatt needed a heater part because his CCU was constantly on, i went to the junkyard, paid for it and sent it for free. people have helped me plenty, pass it on

Most of you guys are eating this up at face value, assuming these noobies are actually children, as they claim. They could be anyone, of any age. The only known element is that they're enjoying member reactions. Even if it's a farce, the effect is the same. Keep that in mind.

You know, this does raise an interesting point: how many of you have said or written something truly embarrassing and immature when you were young? You know, the kind of thing that makes you uncomfortable decades later?

If this stuff is real, this is one of those moments.

05 Tahoe LT
96 Jetta VR6
02 Xterra,
BMW Z3M 99
and my 95 max

i saved my money and kept the max. most reliable car ive ever owned and probably the easiest car to mod that ive had. I have the option of buying nicer faster cars. But for the max is, its a great car and ill keep her til the frame rusts out. Theres more important things than buying a fast car. Like a HOUSE

Actually this is where you are also WRONG...

A 10 second Geo Metro < 10 second Nissan Maxima...

You are probably the most ignorant person I have ever met in person or online. Actually maybe not number 1 but you are in the top 10 so congrats you also won a little something something.

So you are saying people who modify Geo Metros and "waste" money putting new engines and such into them are stupid when they could have bought a Scion or 350Z? Well, let me teach you a little lesson on money... when you buy a new car lets say a 2010 350Z, you pay what? 40K? So lets say you make a down payment of 10K and so you owe 30K + Interest... which in the end of your period of paying the debt you paid MORE than 40K. So other people buy 97 Maximas for 2K, and then spend 10K in modifications (New engine, suspension, ect.) So you got a brand new possibly faster engine which is a brand new car basically for 12K, and since you didn't take out a loan to buy a "nicer" car you are all paid off and owe no debt.

Now if you bought a used BMW or Ferrari then its basically the same thing you will be paying much more in the end of your time owning the car to fix them up when they break and such than you will EVER pay for a Geo Metro or Maxima and then replace everything or mod them.

This. I've owned a Trans Am, and currently own a 350z. The Maxima is obviously no race car, but it's still a fun car to blast around in. And give unsuspecting Hondas a stomping in.

It's been, by far, the most reliable car I've owned in the almost four years I've been driving. That's why I intend on keeping it until I drive it into the ground. And then some. And while I've got it, I might as well have some fun, right? Stock cars aren't fun once you've been bitten by the mod bug.

This is the most reliable car I've owned in the over thirty two years I've been driving.
