Nice clean car...congrats on winning.
Just to make sure everyone understands the MOTM ALWAYS overlap months. It this not mismanaged. I'm doing the MOTM every month. It can go as far as 10 days into the next month before the next MOTM is picked. It can stem from getting better pics from the member or just giving the current winner a few extra days.
Complaining about it doesn't help your chances of getting selected. Being MOTM is not just about the car...is about the member's attitude and their posts. I hope that clears it up for the complaining member(s).
The staff here have other day jobs. None of us are compensated for our time and work on the forums.
If anyone wants to discuss this further feel free to PM me. I don't want to ruin the winner of this month with non sense posts and comments.

Wow thanks guys. I never thought that I would have a car to qualify for the criteria. Thanks for everyone's help on this site, it is really a great community.
I have some more pictures too (in high res) that I can post up, just let me know.
Thanks again guys,
Matt

Definitely one of my favorite 4th gen's as well, and what most people don't know is that some of these pics are over a year old and since then that car has seen a lot more miles between commuting, road-trips to Maxus & NWP Engineering meets, school, etc, yet if you looked at the interior on any given day between then & now it would be just as clean, if not cleaner inside.
You really can't take pics of Matt's interior, put them up online, and expect it to begin to convey the emotions one feels when sitting in it. All of the flat black trim around the cluster & radio looks like it was unwrapped from packaging 10 minutes ago. It really is like brand new inside. In fact I've often speculated that Matt somehow managed to steal a pallet of new floor mats from Nissans warehouse and he simply puts new ones in right before he visits.
You won't find any fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror either. There is one word that describes every modification Matt has done over the years to his '99 SE, and that is tasteful. From the VLSD 5-speed transmission, to the auto-dimming mirror, there isn't a single mod that doesn't subtly enhance the car overall. Cosmetics, handling, stopping, and acceleration have all been refined in ways that add to the performance of the car; while in no way detracting from the ride quality, comfort, or reliability of the 4th gen Maxima.
Sincerely,
