Araffio is back....been a long time

I doubt any of you know (or remember) who I am but back in 2000-2004 I was very involved with Maxima.org.
Here is a link to my Car Domain page (even though the car is long gone, stolen in 2004)http://www.cardomain.com/ride/212763...nissan-maxima/ https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...05516888_n.jpg[/URL]

I admit, I spent way too much money on that 98 Maxima, but it taught me a lot when i comes to customizing a car. From now on (cuz I am older) I am more interested in cosmetic mods rather than performance. Don't have the time to be out racing.

Just got a 2012 Maxima with sport and monitor package. It's actually for my fiancee but I will drive it a lot too. No way in hell I will mod this one as much as I modded my last one, but a few mods can't hurt.

Right now I only plan on doing a few mods. H&R or Eibach springs (not sure which are lower), gloss black vinyl wrapped roof and window trim, 20% tint, light tint of rear tails (white portion only), HID fogs and possibly upgraded HID low beams. Performance...not much. Busy doing work to my 335i coupe. BUT, this Maxima is gorgeous and I love it!!

Here are some pics of the new beauty:

since you're a little older now...hopefully you're more mature and will act responsibly.

good luck on the car.

nice welcome back, i remember that story a bit. IIRC the one picture of it after it was found after the robbery only few days later was just a bare rusted frame.

Like that needed to be said, I'm sure he doesn't live with regret on a daily basis or wish things would have turned out different

You're an *ss

Thanks for that.

When I signed onto the org I kinda expected some remarks about my past, but I choose to let them go. Anyone that feels the need to make a comment is not even worth paying attention to.

Welcome back! Probably among the nicest Maxima ever to be seen. I remember drooling over the pics many years ago. Makes me miss mine even more.

Glad to have you back, when I had a 4th gen I was beyond envious obviously. Oh and you're fiancee is hot

, congrats on the new max

i won't throw the ban hammer here for this comment.

i made no mention of what transpired nor i mentioned any details of the past nor i attacked him so you can get off my back.

he's older and wiser now. i just hope he makes the right decisions...that's all i'm going to say.

ironically i've been to family functions with Anthony present and met part of his family.

Oops, I don't remember the story but found it on vqfrenzy.com.....I was thinking of another forum member who went to prison....I guess no reason to drag up the past....

We appreciate the lack of totalitarian rule like they have on the other site, but why not PM him instead of opening old wounds? This and the other duplicate thread he made might seem like a good platform, but they should have been merged and put in OT to begin with.

Welcome back, nonetheless.
