I was coming back from a meeting today at another office up the street and I had 4 people in my car. I was in the center lane and already rolling away from a light. The lane to the right of me ends very suddenly and all of a sudden I see an Acura MDX out of nowhere pulling hard on my right in the lane that ends in like NOW!!

WTF??? He was pulling one of those ahole SUV maneuvers that give SUV drivers a bad name.

Anyways, I buried it and the CAI was wailing, but he was coming up too fast for me to close the speed gap and he cut me off just as the lane ended. Too bad I had 4 people in my car!!! He only had 2. After that I brighted him and let loose on the horn and he gave me a "haha, I drive an SUV and you don't" sort of gesture back - a$$hole.

If I had bought a 2k1 Max 5-spd that would NOT have happened, and this is one more reason to get a 2k2 6spd

My car is fast enough for me with just me in it, but now I want to be able to do something else: still be able to beat most cars on the road even when fully loaded!

I'll never be able to do that with an Accord V6 and mandatory auto tranny even with all bolt-on's, but I would be able to with a 2k2 Max 6-spd!!

 

love to tail gate for some reasons....maybe they are higher so they feel it is not that close to the car in the front.

 

:::Looks around secretively::: (whispering) Its cuz you drive a Honda...

Heh. Just playing. I may not like 99% of honda drivers but from all your posts I like you. Good luck joining the good guys with a 2k2 max...

 

That's exactly the reason I want to pick up an '02 SE 6spd too.

 

I think its funny that you Accord owner wants a Maxima!

I have 3 cars right now, 2K Max SE, Legend 6spd, Integra Type-R. The Legend 6 spd is leaving real soon. I am not even thinking about the Maxima. TL-Type-S is just cooler than the 2k2 Maxima. It has 215 50 17, which can be upgraded to 225 45 17. Also, exhaust and headers w/out CAI gave more than 30hp increase. It comes standard with RSB and FSTB. The SOHC looks awesome to me.

 

hehe...

Well the TL-S is also a front runner, but it might be more than I really want to spend. But crappy Nissan service might keep me away from the Maxima and put me in a TL-S afterall, even if it's more than I want to spend.

And the Accord would still be staying with me - my gf/stb-fiance would take the Accord (since she loves it too) and I'd get something else (Maxima, TL-S, other..)

See the link in my sig for more

 

You should definetly get the Acura 3.2TL Type-S.

Not that I love the Maxima less, but I love the Tl more!
