What are people's reaction when you tell em about the .org?
 

So I met another Max owner at school. The dude was driving a Black 4th Gen SE. What caught my eye was the brighter than stock headlights. We both stopped and I asked him what kind of bulbs he had. He said Xenons. Then he commented on the color of my car and blah, blah, blah.

Then I asked him if he ever heard of the Maxima.org and he says "Huh?". I told him what it was and both parted.

Exactly the same response, "What is it?"

"huh"

is the usual response...

I had this drunk *** lady pull park next to me one night, and her male companions must have asked about the sticker on my window, and she said like she founded the damn site that it was "oh Maxima.org" like it was an everyday site :) alcohol does get the best of people :D

I should have made a better title
 

:smash:

What I meant to say was how do ppl respond after telling them about the .org. Do they become interested or not interested?

Re: I should have made a better title
 

It borders on disinterested to "so what?".

I met one guy at a Taco Bell last week with a black 4th gen and Altezza's and clear corners. When I mentioned the .org he said the usual "huh?" so I told him all about it and some upcoming meets, etc. Most people seem interested in it after I tell them. Ben gave me some business cards to stick in the drivers window crack if I just see one in a parking lot.

I have some of those business cards ... and I've used a whole bunch of time but I don't think any car that I've put it on as ever come on the Org.

Those bastards!

This :rolleyes: is the most common. So I don't tell people.

the response i get is.. "those guys are *******s .. they are mean.. i don't go to that site"

good thing i dont tell them my screen name :D

All my friends think I am a dork...:)
Its all good though because they are jealous:p

Not me

:laugh:

I don't tell anyone. The more people know about the .org the slower it goes. :D

"That site is just people wasting there money, I dont like it":rolleyes:

whoever said they think you are a dork...
 

i think that is common. if only they knew.

They act high and mighty. Like they know everything about maximas already.
 

When the truth is they are still gettin ripped off at dealerships etc. cause they don't know what a valuable resource it can be.

Re: They act high and mighty. Like they know everything about maximas already.
 

If they are interested, they will find it....

Re: Re: They act high and mighty. Like they know everything about maximas already.
 

EXACTLY.. if you build it they will come.... well it's built and we are all HERE :D

most of the time I get the I don't have a computer

I don't tell people... there are about 2 modded Maximas in this town, and I saw one while riding in a PT cruiser. You don't want to tell someone about a car site while riding in a PT cruiser.

It all depends on the people. If you tell somone that already has mods they will usually be more intrested. But if you tell somone not so into cars or just use it to get to place to place they probably wont care. What ever happened to those maxima.org business card type things that used to be handouts? They still around?

"Your in a Maxima Club???" "What do ya'll do, talk about Maxima's all day??".. Usually those are ppl oblivious to anything outside of the Dealership..

but at the same time ppl come up to me and are like "are you..." or "do you remember me from".. or "oh your....." and "I saw your car on"

Heres a classic
 

"Your an internet dweeb who lurks on this site all day obsessing over maxima's. It's just a MAXIMA anyway, who cares!?"

When I tell or show people they are shocked there is a such a huge message board for the Maxima since nobody thinks of it as the sports car that it is. People also ask "How much can you possibly talk about a car" or "I don't see the point in it"

Exactly. But the Maxima, a sports car ? .... :goofy:

when im talking to my girl on the phone and im not answering right away or if im not talking enough to her she always asks me if im on maxima.org its the first thing she says if i seem distracted
oh well lol

:laugh: I get this 24 hrs a day from my roommates.

Ha I got that. "Are you looking at that site again?"

One guy thinks we're all lowlifes :laugh: He thinks we talk about the steering wheel designs and headlights on Maximas all day long. Eh I told him alot of us have fast cars and he seemed skeptical..

I've only told one person about the org. It was a girl at my school whose parents both drive Maximas. Now that I have the business cards, I'm gonna start telling everyone I know who has a Maxima! Hope I see one tomorrow just so I can use a card!

Where'd you get the cards from?

I posted up the link several posts back.

where do you people get these business cards? :confused:

READ MY POST!














wtf ... do people not read or something?

can I get some of those business cards?



:gapteeth:

<before>
"Oh word! thats phat! i ma check it out right now!"

<during>
"yo son... i'm losing maaad loot on the car... its like crack! i'm addicted!"

<after>
"man.. people hate a lot down there. plus i got no more money to do anything. no more forums for me."

more than a few times: "I went there but it was too slow or the server was busy"

non-car people: "why a maxima?"

I get the usual reactions, plus a few: "wow, a site for Maximas? no kidding", then the guy laughed. I looked at him weird because he had a Maxima too, maybe just not in to it as we were. Then I said, "want to race?" He said, "race? in a Maxima?" he laughed some more. Idiot. :rolleyes:

I tell people about the org. and they say, "What? You can do mods to a Maxima and there is an enthusiast site? Wow, it's such an old man car..."

why? cant you just tell me where to get the damn cardS? :bawling:



Im playing:D
