Nope, if there was a RossMAN on Maxima.org it's an imposter was not me.

I own a 2002 Honda Accord SE (non-riced).

That's a different Ross, the one you're talking about is one of the original founders/members of .Org

Another truck owner right here. :beer:

My 2000 Frontier Crew Cab is doing great. Bought it in July with 31k miles on it. I'm already at 44k. I LOVE this thing. It's such a useful vehicle and I personally like the bodystyling on it better than the current models.

My '92 Sentra is pretty much collecting dust right now. :( I'm about to put it up for sale to see what little I can get for it (maybe it'll cover the cost of tires for my truck.) It's been a fantastic vehicle though and I hate to see it go after so many years with it; that's why I've been putting off parting with it. With the exception of a bad axle due to my abuse of the CV boots there's been no major mechanical problems since I bought it back in '94 with 40k miles on it. It now has 183k miles on it and is still going strong. :D

89 Nissan Maxima, runs great but there?s a small exhaust leak that needs to be fixed, no rust, a small bumper dent from a previous accident. . :D


Nope. So far I got the oldest. 83 280zx turbo. It has 175k and still runs good. A few squeeks/ rattles and the plastic interior pieces are deteriorating. I can't get dealer parts anymore so it may be time to sell soon. My son wants it when he gets his license but I'm thinking thats a little too much car for a new driver.

I'm still kinda mad at myself that I didn't buy an SE immediately after totalling my last car...I waited till march, bought a 5-speed civic lx coupe for $14.5k, traded it in 5 days later for a civic lx sedan (auto), lost $2k on the trade, and overpaid for the sedan, so we paid more for this UGLY civic sedan than you did for your nice looking '02 accord se WITH a sunroof :(

I have a 2002 Maxima SE that I got after trading in a 1995 200SX SE-R. Fun car to drive, I love it.

I remember you. Don't remind me of what you did!!

It warms my heart to see so many devoted Nissan fans in our midst. Only fellow nissan owners can truly appreciate the sadness in my soul - that originates from the depths of my being - when I see other people driving non-nissans. I wonder, what led them down that sad, pathetic path? :(

In regards to the 350Z and a spoiler i think that adding a spoiler would be over the top. The lack of one is one of the few subtle aspects of its appearance. Throwing on a spoiler, though increasing its aggressive look, would dumb down the car I think. As it is it looks like a sleeker vehicle. As much as I love Max, he's not a sports car. The 350Z though I think it's fair to call a sports car - even if it is a far cry from an exotic.

The 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE is doing great. Strangely, all audio on the left side of the car has died but it's still under warranty so I'll have them check that out for me. The car does ~90 km per day and doesn't miss a beat.

The 126 HP engine is a little underpowered to get up to highway passing speed but the tradeoff is flooring it from 0-60 km/h is an absolute treat, especially if you have the radio off and the windows down to better hear the whine of the engine. Go Nissan!

I almost bought a 2001 GXE 5 speed, until I was denied the credit (but I showed them now didn't I!). I did like it. Hell, even my 93 sentra isn't THAT slow. It will give you the power needed to power around traffic at low speeds without issue and on the highway it can keep up with very fast traffic if you try hard enough.

i have a 92 Sentra SE-R. Bought it at 84K last year, now sits at 96k. I've have a CV (original) go bad), and motor mounts have worn, and a leaky rear taillight. Total cost to fix, about 100 bucks.
And she pulls hard all the way to 7500rpm.

K&N 6inch Cone filter went in a few months ago, B&M short shifter going in later tonight.

Funny you should ask....My fvcking '94 Max GXE is currently trying to kill me. I did a brake swap from drums to discs recently and since I lost my last car to untightened lugnuts, I tightened them down like FOUR times. On top of that, I tighten them down like once a month. So, I go out today and notice a VERY slight rubbing sound. When I get back I pop the fvcking caps off and tighten the lugnuts. The first two were okay but the driver rear had TWO lugnuts loose on it. Needless to say I tightened the fvckers down HARD and will probably start checking them more often. All that to say that my fvcking car hates my guts and is probably waiting for me to come outside so it can run my ass over.

Other than that, I am doing just GREAT!

And you?

Ah that sucks your lugnuts loosening. Mine never loosen at all. Something is amiss!
