The VW guys started a thread called "You know you're a 1.8t driver when..."

I think we can do better than their 5 pages.

So let have 'em...

 

When you rev your engine at a stop light because you know no other engine sounds the same.

When in your profile your quote is from Ward's top ten engine list.

People always ask you why your engine ticks

 

You don't need any ghey spark plug wires.

 

When your N/A and already @ 222hp or 255hp

 

You've only got a K&N drop-in and can make double the torque of your friend's modded Civic.

When you let friends drive your car, they try to turn the ignition when it is already on, because it's so quiet! <--Me

When a friend drives it, plants the gas for the first time, and you see a huge grin creep across their face.

 

You can drive on the freeway in 3rd gear.

 

When your starter makes that crazy noise during the winter.

 

...when you cry because you have to get out of your car to go to work.

 

you can . . .enjoy the ride

DW

 

When you have 11,500 miles on your car in the 3.5 months that you've owner it.

 

When your odometer hits 100,000 and you realize that your engine is still as good as the day it was built.

 

You know your a VQ driver when..... Everybody else seems to be in your rear view mirror!

 

A Grin is the most common expression emanating from you face - 24/7!

 

You find yourself waking up in the middle of the night , just to look at her

 

When someone ignores your grocery getter as a feirce competitor.

 

When you can hang with or beat most V8 driven vehicles on the road.

 

You know you're a VQ Driver when your cars in the shop more than its in your driveway... or at least mine is

 

...you consistently take the long way to work.

...you conveniently forget something at the grocery store and "have to make a second trip" (oh darn! )

...you make excuses to run out to the other office for something quick during the day to get a mid-afternoon VQ fix

...you're on the highway in top gear and don't even need to downshift to spank whatever idiot is trying to pull a fast one on you.

...you look over at that punk 3-series revving on you and you're not afraid.

...you don't fear a WRX from a roll.

...when you realize how slow your Accord V6 really was, even with mods!

 

when your car is cleaner than your house

 

when... the server is always busy

 

you log onto the forum as "VQdriver" that was easy enough..

 

........ damn near any mid-size sedan in or close to the Maxima is prey

........ you see another modded Max (good mods not rice) and you get a warm feeling inside

........ you love Maxima caravans and Maxima meets, the more the merrier (so far 16 at a time is the best I've participated in)

 

- your at the import hang out spot and you constantly have to pop the hood to prove you DONT have a supercharger.

- you wash your car in the winter. outside. at night. two days in a row.

- you watch videos from meets instead of regular tv.

- you stop racing four cylinder anythings.

- you start hanging out with maxima boys more than your reuglar non-motorhead friends.

- you can launch at idle and still win a race.

- your girlfriend says to you " why dont you just fuc! the car "

 

You respect other VQ owners so much that you don't race them in the streets for reasons of speed/mod-pride.

 

hahahahahaha

when you walk into a store you stop and look back at it at least once

when you drop it to third on the interstate for no real reason

you let 4 bangers beat you at the first light, dust them at the second

I can't beleive she told you that

-When you start modding the car yet it ran off the factory with 190/205 hp/tq-4th gen that is.

-Realising that redlining fourth is good for 130mph+.

-Get mad when stoopid-non-shifting-***** put up wrong time's for the 3.5 6spd.

-When you go to other boards and search for maxima and spend a few hour's wondering why they are alway's hating.

 

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

You get your time slip at the autocross and the person handing it to you does a double take when they see your car (and then start babbling in amazement that something that big is so agile!)

 

when you say, [/with red eyes while foaming at the mouth and fist clenched/] "it's not a honda idiot! it's a MAXIMA, you should be institutionalized [/with red eyes while foaming at the mouth and fist clenched/]

 

In that case, I'm definitely a VQ driver.. 19,200 Miles in 6months

 

That one definately best describes me!

 

you know you're a VQ driver when you moud bogging with your stock suspension..... *rimshot* you know its ture!

 

after pouring in 4.25 quarts of fresh oil

 

Hey someone should make this a sticky.

 

uh...English please?

When you think of your car as separate from the other Japanese imports.

 

so sue me...I siad "moud" instead of "mud"....

 

 

the car you're driving is equipped with a VQ.

 

when your buddies dont believe you can take a 96-98 GT Mustang until they actually see it for themselves.

whaen your driving in traffic and looking around thinking "id beat anyone of these cars in a race".(until you see somthin faster that is
)

when you see the ten millionth ricer in his honda and actually tell God thank you for my Nissan.

 

-Your the only import who isn't a torqueless wonder!

-You find yourself telling your friends about your engine even though they don't care

-You 'get off' when you floor it

-Wish the whole world knew how great your engine really is.

 

.. Nissan started making the VQ35DE
