Piot, My car looks exactly like yours. Is yours lowered?? I also would like to know what type of wax you use, your car is flawless.

Yeah, it is lowered, I have the Tokico/Intrax combo with the front springs cut 1 full coil to make it sit better.
The wax I USED is an industrial wax we called Bannana wax because it smells like bannanas. (I used to detail) The stuff is actually a polish so when it rains or you wash the car, that flawless look is gone. I ordered Zaino and have heard only the best about the product so I am hoping on doing that as soon as it gets here. I AM going to take before and after pictures so if you would like me to let you know how it turns out. E-mail me at PiotrC70@yahoo.com with a short e-mail so I remember you.... Thankx for the compliment.

Oh i'm so sad!!!! The camry came in last place!! *weep weep. AHAHAHAHA Bro if i was gonna buy a 2001 model car i'd take the maxima too. It's way faster than any of those cars and is the newest edition of all of the japanese cars. Accords are all autos so i dont consider them, nor do i consider any american car on that list. The new camrys are still 4th gens, its the same bodystyle as mine with updated headlights and taillights, they haven't even updated the model yet.

Just wait and see how sweet the new Camry will be like I hope they make an "SE" model this time around with a sport suspension and have it available with a 5 or 6-speed.

In that edition, the Maxima did come in first overall, but its styling didn't exactly hit the spot for most of the editors. What is wrong with them? Accord 2nd, GP 3rd, Taurus 4th, Camry 5th.
