A funny thing happened ,after work,i broke my keys inside the door.The locksmith asked me what a year my max was,and his reaction: "A '95?Wow,thought it was a 2000 or something." Not trying to brag,just wondering if this is a universal reaction to our 4th gens these days.

 

That happened to me. A lot of people didn't believe that it was that old. It even got me out of a ticket once.

 

People think my car is some sort of spaceship or something but I always tell them "No, it's not. It's a Nissan Maxima and you remember that." Then I usually put my thumb out the window and slam the gas, resulting in change in position in the sun as a resultant of the earth turning from my Toyo's Godlike amount of grip.

 

I've gotten asked quite a few times if my '96 is anywhere from a '00-'03. It's kind of funny seeing their reaction when they realize how old it is. Like Kevin, I've also gotten out of a ticket because the cop liked my car.

 

Quite a few ppl have been suprised at the age of my car. Most think it's 2000-01 ish....my ex g/f's neighbor thought it was brand new (she lived about 100 feet away)...if i may say so, i think my car does look new or fairly new from 100 feet.

this is just proof that the beauty of our 4th gens is still there!

 

Are yall really that surprised? Are you really giving "the adverage person" that much credit?

 

In this image concious society,people can usually tell how old a car is,esp when its 10 + years old...except with 4th gen Maxes.I knew the car looked good for her age ,but wow.... PS:related topic,b/c of the old model year,I have IL. emissions exemption lol..

 

I Live in IL and have never ever been emissions tested. I guess small towns are good for something..

 

They just look that good
