You know you're a VQ driver when...

- You don't know whether to whisper quietly "hey baby" or "how's it goin beautiful?" every time you see any gen maxima. (got lotsa love for the other V-series maxima engine guys!)

- You confuse the V6 writing on the engine cover for the letters "VQ" so then your friends say "where do you see the 'q'? It says V6"

- You spit at every eclipse, mustang sel, and camaro rs and your friends have to prevent you from kicking them in the parking lots...yes i need therapy..

- You try to explain something to friends involving info learned here at the .org and start the sentence with "The maxima guys were tellin me..."

- You live in a town where all the maximas are baller status with 19"-21" chromies, air-ride, and dual 15" subs and so you desperately look for a lowered 4th gen, Mille Miglia Evo5's, some sign of a BOV whether on turbo or SC, a .org sticker or red/clear tails. I have yet to meet anybody with a really hooked up "VQ carrier." (i'm a poor boy, still has the black stock gxe wheels ::hides in shame:: )

When

you yell out NICE MAXIMA!
everytime you see one. Then your wife starts doing it.
Then you friends start doing it, and then it turns into a punch everytime somebody says it. Like punch buggy...

when your best friend decides to do MAJOR work o his focus after driving your car

when he still can't catch up to you even though he has a supercharger, cams and headers

when you beat a ram-air grand am with six people in your car

when you race your drug dealer for opium

when your leisure activity at 4am is to follow random cars in the hope that they will notice and try to run

when you play lead car for your friends' intrepid race and pull on both of them even though you don't launch hard, have two other people in your car, 200 lbs of **** in the trunk and an automatic

when you start saving money for major work after your brother buys a 740il

when you find ways to embezle money from work to pay for mods

when you work 16 hour days for two months to pay for rims/y-pipe/frankencar

your friends refer to your car as "the sodomizer"

you drive your brother's 740IL and your father's q45 and come out saying "it ain't no maxima" and mean it

people at school know you by your license plate

you ditch school on a weekly basis to wash your car

you trial fit your brother's bmw M wheels on your car

you use your emergency brake more than your turn signal

nigel's last dyno is tatooed on your back... in color

the worst thing you can say to your friends is "stock"

you drive around parking garages to hear what your frankencar really sounds like

you spend more time writing replies to this thread than your senior paper, which was due yesterday and is a graduation requirement

your friend was considering buying a cobra before you showed him hlh's last video

why thank you.

a few more:

you're considering buying a thighmaster to improve my clutchwork on my buddiy's 89 5spd 3 series in preperation for a 5spd max.

you still call sprint by his real name (sprite)

people are convinced your car is rwd because of your patented e-brake turns and four wheel drift (before i got my rims and new tires)

you can remove your door panels in twenty mintes or less and your rear seat and deck in less than 10. you carry a taped putty knife for "emergency" dash removal.

you know your a VQ driver when.....

-you drive one of the only 4 door sedans that can run 14's for under $30k fully equipped and brand new.

-your girlfriend constantly tells you that shes tired and she wants to leave the computer room and get off the org, and that your obsession with your car is weird yet funny

-all of your friends that dont know sh*t about cars say "maxima, why did u get a foriegn grandpa car?" then you take them for a ride, and they have a grin bigger than the one you just got when u put the pedal to the floor.

-when your friends look at and ride in your car and say "this car is f*cken nice, how did you afford this" and the imfamous "i had no idea that maxima's were this fast, i cant believe the power it has"

this thread has reminded me even more of why i bought a maxima, thanks guys

When 3 out of 4 people in your family drives a MAXIMA, Driveway looks like a Nissan dealership.


Also when you hear about a member breaking into low 13's you cheer for them like you won the lotto.

You know you drive a V-Series when...

...you read through this entire thread, post by post, and relate to every single one.

...you get a new mod at 6.50pm during winter when it's in the 30s, and you go outside to start installation without thinking twice, and have to be cracked on the back of the head and dragged inside by your gf cos she thinks that you're insane and you are going to the hospital to see a doctor about the addiction tomorrow.

...you say whatever and finish your installation and return to reading this thread.

...you take 10hour trips to houston to give your cousin his ps2,
...and return to kansas after sleeping for 8hours.

You know you're a .org forum junkie when...

-You visciously rummage through other forums to uncover new smilies to bring to the .org

-You don't notice that the maxima.org homepage has had the same articles for a VERY long time because you never scroll farther than you necessary to see who's MOTM.

-You aren't behind a broadband connection, yet you know exactly where the forum button is located on the homepage despite the graphic not loading yet.

You know your a VQ driver when....

You find any means necessary (legit) to acquire money to unravel all of the VQ's power (probably around 500HP) and so you have your own personal booth at your local sperm bank.

When you decide to read what everyone else in this 15 page thread put down.

When you are "anally-methodical" over where you park, how far, and how long it takes you to do it, even if it means walking in the worst rrain or snow storms or being late to work.

When your .org screenname and AOL name have the letters "VQ" in it

When you pull up to a hot chick in a celica or eclipse at the light and blast the BLOSE speakers with the tune "MOVE B*TCH, GET OUT DA WAY, GET OUT DA WAY B*TCH GET OUT DA WAY!" followed by a

When you give a thumbs up or say nice ride to a fellow maxima owner who happens to be a house wife.

When you have sprite come out of your nose choking and busting out laughing because your co-worker with a 92 stang GT got his $ss handed to him from a 2002 6-speed and is all bent out of shape over it.

When you take the chance to log into Maxima.org at work even though they monitor the internet useage.

When you wake up in the middle of the night with a cold sweat because you had a nightmare about your car getting into a really bad accident.

When you have an auto 5th gen, but see and want 5-speed 4th gen for sale with pretty low miles and a decent price (but no $$ for it )


When your awaiting a possible lawsuit in the works set forth by this certain internet site called .org something disputing over a 15 HP lloss which (we, 2002 and 2003) 5th gen owners rightfully paid for!

When you burn torqueless Acura's that have .2 more liters

When you have no where to go but must absolutly drive your car to get your 'fix' before bed

When you wash your car more than you bathe

You know your a VQ driver when you get a chubby after you floor the accelerator

your a vq driver when...

when you look for maximas for sale around the country... just in case something happens to yours.

when you get mad that gran tourismo 2 has the G20 and not a single hint of a maxima.

when you carry a axe handle in your trunk! when things get personal.

when you talk to your car.

you have to argue with yourself to wash the ride, or buy your lady flowers.

When you stare in glee at a j32a2 powered cl-s next to you in your side view mirrors as you just whooped its a$$

(Was driving a s/c 1997 auto...a car 6 years OLDER than the CL)

It amazes me how long it takes Honda to match up to the competition. According to their press reports, they did it until now to make their cars more profitable than toyota's. The profitability reports in the US show the biggest profits in this order: Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan, Honda... it's gotta hurt ot not have the best selling turd anymore
