"Old grandpa car"
So ever since I've purchased my car about a year ago my girlfriend has always made fun of it calling it a "old grandpas car" due to the late 90's look as well as my pebble beige color (shout out to all the pebble beiges out there ) until one day I let her drive it back to her house (she drives an alero) and right away she changed her whole view on my maxima lol she never believed me when I told her that there's more power than meets the eye

It's straight lol, judging by the amount of time he spends on his little profile right there, he clearly doesn't get any *** . But that's dope dude I think I might look into getting my girl one too lol

Same thing happened with a friend of mine. Talked smack, called it Jap Crap, etc .... Took him for a ride.

A month later, he had one of his own.

If it came with a cassette player/cd combo in it, it is an old man car.

I think the trim you have plays a big role. When I used to drive my dad's 96 GXE, a friend of mine called it a grandpa car (mind you my dad was already a grandpa... so it was somewhat correct). On the other hand she did think my 95 SE was pretty cool... not realizing it was essentially the same car.

Guess I should pass on buying an NSX then...tape player up front (cd changer optional)



Even 2002 NSX's had tape players....



Luckily my Max came with 3 gauges surrounded in a carbon Kevlar panel.
