Maximustang has passed on.
Today I traded in the Maxima for a Camaro. At 333,000 miles I was given $700 trade in, and everyone was amazed the condition for such a high mileage car. I can only hope it will go to someone who will appreciate it. I really hope an employee at the dealership will purchase it for their teenage child, as it would be a sweet first ride. I am sure it will probably go to auction and be sold on some fleebag used lot though. New car will be posted in other Rides, but alas, I will no longer visit this site. Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes.

I cannot give up my 98 I30 even though I just got a new Rav4. It only has 157K on the clock, but runs flawlessly. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one if I needed one. I have the Rav4 because my mom bought it and had to give up driving because of her age, so she gave it to me. These cars are super reliable. I have driven the I30 the length of California 4-5 times without a concern.

Said to see a long time member go
Personally i love these cars. I'm glad i wrecked my 97 bc i took the time to find a 99 that hasn't been exposed to these northeastern winters and it has hardly any rust. I plan to replace the rad support and rear axle but other than that it has no rust and I'll clean it up and undercoat it. Mechanically i did all the prescheduled maintenance even the injectors, and i feel confident with my knowledge of the car to keep it running and hopefully swap a 3.5 in the next year or 2 with <30k miles and another 5 speed whenever i'll need it.
I wanna drive this car forever and I just need to adjust my driving accordingly

Cheers sir,
Thanks for the fun times and useful posts on here. I went over to the lexus side,, but I still open this site from time to time to see what's doing - I'll always have a soft spot for maxima.org! Always sad to see a longtime member leave though. Good luck with the camaro. Always said if I were to go domestic, it would be a camaro.

I'm sure you are looking forward to ALL of the cool and reasonably priced aftermarket upgrades that are available for the Camaro.
In thinking about Oregon and Camaros, here a guy in Salem that is all about 1st gens..

party on wayne, party on garth. hell, i would've bought from you if you lived a little closer. trading it in is such an insult to what we do these cars. book value doesn't apply, or they should at least double it.
