I love my Maxima.

long story short, my max didnt pass safety at a local shop that i will no longer go to because they are trying to scam every last penny out of me. They said my rear calipers were shot and it would be a minimum of $1000 to fix. It turns out my E-brake just wasnt tightened. Works now...

Anyway, I did my front axles this weekend because they needed to be done eventually. It wasnt as painful as I thought, I just needed a 35mm socket and some elbow grease. Also my friend that worked at a nissan dealer was a big help. I just need to get it back so it can get inspected and I can drive it around again. W00t!
