You walk in your house and your roomates say "Hey Luke, guess what....ANOTHER package arrived for you in the mail today...WHAT a surprise! What ELSE are you doing to your car?"

Neighbors walk by your house as you're washing your car and say sarcastically "I think you have the cleanest car in America."

You tell your girlfriend your out "doing an errand" and she says "What are you doing to your car NOW?!"

 

When after you install that new clutch your chirping third.

You know your a VQ Driver when the first thing you do when you get home is open the hood and appreciate that finely engineered powerplant. The second thing you do is get a beer and keep appreciating.

You know your a VQ Driver when you can set a glass of water down on the intake manifold at idle and there's no ripples.

You know your a VQ Driver when you can rev to limiter as many times as you want and not worry.

How's them apples?

 

you can ride your Max at over 6000 rpm every single day at least 5 times a day, for the past 1825 days (5 years) and still not worry about a thing other than oil changes.

WOT at 6600rpm in third gear going 130mph(automagic)without a fear of death.

doing all this while loading up 15.1 cubic inches of luggage/groceries and having 4 comfortably seated passengers.

last but not least-
you are proud to be on a Max board that is so helpful in every aspect (when the bashing is kept to a minimum) We are true automotive enthusiasts here.

 

when your able to star in one of the greatest videos of all time, "The Pike Full".

 

When the guys at the road course can't believe you're driving a Maxima and passing them like they're in Yugos.

 

When you pass a ES 300 and you are at 3/4 throttle and laughing at him while he is at WOT and still losing

 

You know your a VQ driver when...

...you find yourself spending more money on gas than food.

 

okay ben thats four pages. i can keep this up all night long.


- you look at your custom clear tail lights in amazment even though you cleared it out years ago.

 

"a camp-out" means spending the night in the Maxima.

 

...when everytime you step on gas, you wish you had a bit more power (cause the engine is sooo smooth), but then you look down to check your speed, and wish for better brakes (can never be good enough to slow down fast enough)

...when everytime you floor it, you pray the automagic wont break (strong engine, weak tranny)

...you wish noone less people bought them, cause there are too many of them in NY

... you say "damn the torpedoes", and put in that 150hp shot of nitrous

... everytime you on the highway, you always try to see if you can go faster than your shadow

 

ohh sorry sorry...I normally can figure it out. sorry.

you know you're a VQ driver when you let someone beat you in a race because you feel bad for them.

 

... if you know the difference between a MAXima and a MINima..

... if you know the difference between an GXE, SE, and GLE

... When you argue with fellow .ORg members on which trim level is the fastest..

 

When you go five miles under the speed limit so you can talk to the stranger in the maxima next to you and tell them about the .org (last night)

 

When you wait an Hour and a Half to wait for Nigels turbo video to download so you can save it at home as well as the office.

 

Then you show it to all your friends and they wonder whats wrong with you.

 

When your going 40mph and a guy with a Maxima+altezza's comes beside you and screams "I love your car man!", and your nice back even though he has altezza's

 

-And if he goes "check out my taillights! It's a new kind!" and you your eyes and tell him their cool and tell him about the .org anyways

-If you go "MAAAAXIIIIMAAAA" with pride to your friends everytime you see your car in the parking lot.

-If you get a friend hooked on saying MAAAXIMAAA when they see your car in the parking lot

 

...You are faster than any manual N/A 4 cylinder that can fit the same amount of people in the car and you're an N/A auto.
...You are PROUD to open your engine hood, even if it is stock.
...Your car rattles more on the inside than a car twice your age.
-Cyrus

So, so true...

You know you're a VQ driver when despite the insane amplified bee in the other lane, you're still silently pulling ahead.

 

Okay, I don't have a VQ, but I know the feeling of pride that comes with driving a Maxima, so here goes....

When you're with your parents or friends and you see a Max and point and yell, like you've never seen one before....and they look at you like you're on drugs.

When you walk into a parking lot and survey the other cars to see who you'd like to race (and beat, I might add!)

When you see a "cute little honda" doing the infamous "one-wheel-squeal" and you just chuckle.

When you've replaced your transmission afew times and wonder how many more your engine has to chew up to be satisfied.

When you never worry about getting there on time...Who the hell needs to leave early?! Not me! I drive a Maxima!

When you leave late and STILL get there on time!

When your car looks better stock than any modded Rustang out there.

When you take the center caps out of your stock rims because it just looks cooler, darn it!

When your car comes stock with rims! (I hate hubcaps!)

That's all I can think of for now. Hope I didn't taint the thread by not being VQ!

 

What's a VQ?

Sound great.... I think I'll name my dog VQ

 

1. You check the weather forecasts simply because you want to wash your car when you can go the longest without having it rain on it.
2. You like that your car is classified as a family sedan because it adds to the sleeper effect.
3. You go through more cans of wax in a year than all of your (non-maxima) friends combined.
4. The few times you actually lose a race you think to yourself"at least my car spends more time in my driveway then at the mechanic.
5. All of your problems totally disappear once you turn the ignition on.

 

ditto very true

 

VQ? Wife?



VQ

 

When your friend opens up the hood of his 330Ci SP and you wonder why his motor is mounted the wrong way and missing its right bank......

You actually believe that a V6 is a better design and can't understand why all the world's greatest car makers don't use it.....

You tell a Carerra 4 driver to get with the program and read Wards best engine list......

You aspire to nothing more than a Maxima 4 years newer than the one you own now.....

 

.....when you rev your car sometimes to hear that smooth engine
.....for every 10 oil changes you need a new transmission
.....you wonder why your engine is so mean to your transmission
.....When your friend brags about VTEC you rolls your eyes and show them whats torque all about

 

...when an M3 blows past ya

 

When you keep checking on this thread every 5 mins your at your computer because you enjoy it so much

 

....when you have maxima.org minimized at work all day long.

....when you skip a tuesday afternoon class to go on the org cause there is news about a new turbo.

 

.....When you tell your friends and parents to read this thread and they laugh at you

......When you print out this thread and hang it on the wall for future reference.

 

heeeyy... so what's wrong with doing that?

 

you know youre a maxima owner when you hear behind your back that a coworker hates how you think your "family sedan" is so fast when in all reality it spanks his german Audi every f'n time!! quattro at that and 5-speed! hahahhaha (me automagic!)

 

. . . half the numbers in your cell phone are Maxima.org members


. . . your boss drives your car home and says he wasn't paying attention to speed but was shocked when he looked down and was doing 100

. . . you drive all sorts of new, different cars all day and it still puts a smile on your face to get in your own.

 

When you see Donation Goal Reached -- Read More but yet it takes 30 reloads of the page just to see that message


when is that money being used for the sole purpose of not getting that message?

 

...when you go car shopping with a friend and on the test drive even the sales guy says "well, it doesn't accelerate like a Maxima..." and you just grin ear to ear.
