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?!"

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 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

When you have memorized the following

The server is currently busy. This means that too many users are currently accessing the system at the same time.
The Maxima.org servers have been set to limit the number of users accessing the system when the load is too great in order to keep from overloading the system and crashing the server. While this may seem inconvenient, this will keep the server from completely shutting down and not allowing any access to the system.

Typically the server will clear up in a few minutes. Please try again.

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.

crusher84

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!

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.

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.....

. . . 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.
