Hi's - See this pile of mods and maintenance helps. They all came as a result of the org. They were all successful even though the mechanic is far from top notch. Even the moderators are human (well most of the time)



Lo's - Getting heck for trying to help someone.

Highs: learning and meeting maxima guys

Los: having to moderate and probably delete intentional bashing and petty arguments like this one.

If you don't edit it in about 10 minutes, it's el deleto time.

Highs: Learning to save money by doing maintenance yourself, installing/learning about mods, usually friendly people everywhere.

Lows: flamers, bbs bullies, and those who intentionally make it a job to annoy others. Classic yet aging site design.

Highs: Coming to a place with no knowledge at all of a car and one year later knowing massive amounts and either knowing how to fix something or having immediate access to info on how to fix something; PWA and the rest of the people who keep this board interesting and worth reading.

Lows: Trolls

Highs - more knowledge is always better, and this board serves it up if you can find it/key in on the right people.

Lows - reading all this stuff and realizing I dont have the right tools, very little experience, not much freetime, barely money after bills are all said and done, no trusted nissan-proficient shops/mechanics in the area, barely any friends that are even slightly interested in cars much less begin to know their way around under the hood/etc, and pretty much nobody on the .org around the area to even consult/compare cars with. (And all the other typical internet forum lows that people mentioned above....this board isn't nearly as bad as other car boards I've seen though)

Highs: The extremely useful information that is on this site. Because of Maxima.org, I have saved myself hundreds of $$ in labor charges and have learned a lot about my car. All for free. A true bargain.

Lows: Members such as RoAdBeAsT who are nothing more than two bit hoods. The feeling of having been ripped off like that has to be one of the worst feelings ever. What makes it even worse is that he conducted his business through a website that helps people. I still can't believe it.....


And Bill is right...quality, not quantity. Too many swingin' d!cks around here...
